I have had this phone for over a year and suddenly in the last two weeks the battery drains like crazy. Trying to think if anything installed between then and now. Only thing I can think of is turning nfc on two weeks ago for some reason.

I have noticed something similar in the last 2 weeks. I've had excellent battery life since I got the Turbo on day one back in 2014. Usually I will go to bed after a full day's use and put it on the charger with around 60% left. Over the last 10 days or so, with the same use, I'm down in the 40s each day. I can't see anything different, although of course a lot of apps have updated since then. Still great battery life. Maybe the battery is just showing age.
 
Randomly I'll notice my battery draining like crazy, a simple reboot solves whatever the issue was. This happens a few times a month I've noticed.

I have better days and worse days.. a FDR is annoying but will solve any software issues. or start deleting apps you havent used in 2 weeks
 
I have to make sure to keep the brightness down. Whenever I notice my battery draining abnormally fast, its almost always that I forgot to turn the brightness back down.

I found where I work my desk is one of a few that just don't get a strong wifi signal so I turn it off. If I don't battery drains pretty fast.
 
Yes the last two-four weeks its gotten worse. Newsblur was using up the most of it so I removed it. Will have to see if that makes a difference but it's possibly a shortened battery life with the quick charge charging cycle. Need to find out info on a battery replacement program.

What's odd is I just noticed I charged from 3:30am last night until 9:00am this morning and yet only went from 30% to 70%. That doesn't seem right. 5 Hours should be more than enough to charge the phone and yes I was on turbo unless it was one of those times the charger doesn't recognize the turbo element.
