Recently, I noticed that my phone overheats for no reason even when it is on standby and the battery was draining more than usual. I've checked the power manager and found out that Google Play service is draining up the battery more than the screen. My Xperia Z3 Dual (D6633) is running 5.0.2 and the Google play service is 7.5.71

This is odd, do you have any smart wear or tracking devices connected to your phone? Do you use navigation or fitness applications?

I don't use any tracking devices nor any navigation or fitness apps.

All we can try is clearing its cache:

- Go to Settings -> Apps -> All -> Google play services -> Clear cache and restart your phone. Test battery for one more day and report.

ayub99 also let the battery drain down to around 10% and let us know what is using the highest percentage of battery then.

@Sophia Google play services is eating battery.I have cleared cache no joy.So I then untucked android device manager uninstalled updates and went to play store and redownloaded it.I will screen shot tomorrow. Forgot to screenshot it before I did the above.But SOT was 3hrs 24 mins 31% ...google play services had the highest battery drain @ 57%

Made the battery to 3% and battery usage shows that Google Play service used 13% of the battery.

But, I un-installed and re-installed the app and it solved the problem.
