Google Now Launcher battery drain culprit?

[acles003]

I've had the G6 since Tuesday. Have had good to great battery life depending on my usage. Last night I activated the Google Now Launcher, as I'm coming from a Moto X and miss the features.

I noticed right away that my battery is draining faster. I uninstalled the launcher to see if my battery life goes back to what I was getting yesterday (17 hours off the charger, 5 hours of screen on time)

Not saying it is but the issue would APPEAR to be related to Google Play Services.
