Galaxy tab S 10.5 battery drain since lollipop 5.0.2 update

After update I can't keep my tablet charged. I did a factory reset and only installed my google apps for now. In the time that it took to set up, my tablet went from 30% to 21% (about 20 minutes) I powered off tablet and in one hour it has made to to a 23% charge. Any suggestions?

You might find the following article worth reading :-

Meantime, you could take a look at your Settings/ Battery stats and see if you can identify high usage apps processes.....or get a better idea of what is happening. If you're now on Lollipop you'll be able to tap on the battery graph to show further details which may help you.

I haven't installed apps yet and the tablet is powered off. It's up to 30% now...battery info says not available when I checked it. I have also tried 3 different cables (which charge my phone just fine). It dropped 2% when I powered it up to check battery usage. So frustrating...

Have you tried booting in Safe Mode to see if you can identify a problem ?
Could it be that the battery itself needs changing ?
Being as you've only got Google apps running.....tho' you're not able to get any battery stats......there's an article here which may help to idebtify a possible cause :-

Did it help solve the problem of battery drain? Is Lollipop not suitable for Tab S 10.5? Please advise as I am going to purchase the Tab 10.5 and would hate to face such issue if upgraded to lollipop.
