My battery is draining fast while gaming

[Skyler William]

i have downloaded Racing rivals apk mod from here http://apkfeast.com/2017/12/16/racing-rivals-apk-mod-everything/ going good but draining my battery fast

You downloaded from an unknown app store. It is possible that the app has a virus or other malware that is causing damage to your phone including but not limited to fast battery draining.

Personally what I would do is to back up data, do a factory data reset and only install from trusted sources like Google Play, Amazon app store, etc.

I'm with dpham, there's a possibility that there was an undesired payload with that game. Some games also just plain draw heavily on the battery..

Hallux probably has the answer - most games draw pretty heavily on the battery. Look in your battery usage and you'll probably see the screen and the game as the major users.
