BATTERY Thread

OK, it was bound to happen, the dreaded battery thread.
Normally not an issue, but, the past few days or so has seen a significant amount of battery drain.
The culprit appears to be GOOGLE SERVICES, w/the offenders being:

GOOGLE ACCOUNT MANAGER
GOOGLE BOOKMARKS SYNC
GOOGLE CONTACTS SYNC
GOOGLE SERVICES FRAMEWORK
GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES
NETWORK LOCATION

FWIW, my G2 is seeing similar drain, w/the above accounting for 30% of battery use, w/keep awake @ 1.5 hrs. on 6 hrs usage, sitting @ 40% of battery life from a full charge.

I suspect a bug in one of GOOGLE's app updates, since we're not on KIT KAT, w/the known drain issue w/that update on 4.4.2.

Anyone else experiencing similar battery drain of late?

THX! :D

EDIT: A factory reset seems to have stopped the battery drain.
I even restored w/backups, instead of manually restoring app data (as I usually do).
