I don't know exactly why but i have still 100% of battery after 3 hours of standby and 30 minutes of use. That's pretty good if i consider other comments.
Got a tip for us?

Interesting that my iPad Air 2 Wifi only is not draining at all. It has been amazing with battery life actually.
I did the same. Restore from iCloud backup murdered my battery life. I did a restore without back up and battery is smooth again, the phone also doesn't hear up as much after the restore.
My iPad Air 2 went from about 12 hours of use to 4. Can't blame it when all it seems to do is dump energy into trying to light itself on fire. lol. Other iPad Air 2 owners running the beta know what I mean

No, I'm having no issues. Running smooth
Same, I went back to 8.4 beta 4 on my iPhone 6I'm back on 8.3 on my iPhone, the battery drain was just too much. iPad Mini 2 is still on 9.0 and it runs superb and no drain
Well with the phone as normal I'm losing 50% overnight, but last night I turned Airplane mode on and lost 3%. So there's definitely some bug with data usage causing rapid battery loss
I don't think so. I lose only 2% during night with 3g data. Try to turn off your iCloud and background activity (refresh) and try with 3g data connection
.Peace guys. Battery pretty good for beta 1
-Disable icloud
-Manually disable background activity 1 by 1
-Manually disable all search options
-Turn on power saving
Did all that apart from disable icloud....I wonder if trying to turn each setting off one by one would narrow down what is causing the battery drain. I cant check as my phone is currently restoring back to 8.3
I don't know exactly what made my battery better but i think that iCloud is the biggest issue.
Maybe if you have time you could try turning one item on at a time till you notice severe battery drain?
Yes. I must try this scenario. But tomorrow or after 2 day, cause i still don't know if it's just temporary or not.

Lol nice bro disabling key features to use a beta that offers maybe 2 or 3 differences to iOS 8. Logic
If you turn off the device you'll get great battery. Just tried it, worked every time, my drain stopped immediately
That sounds like a bug with data usage, like I said..?I don't think so. I lose only 2% during night with 3g data. Try to turn off your iCloud and background activity (refresh) and try with 3g data connection
