Yes - I've installed every update (since the 'infamous' 8.4) and have been at 9.2.1 since it was released. And, yes, I've installed 2 batteries (both within the last 2 weeks) and haven't seen any change in battery drain. Unfortunately, I think my only option is nuke/pave :-(
Also, nothing in battery usage shows anything out of the ordinary. I do have low phone signal problems at home, but I still have the drain problem when the signal is good.

There was something about resetting Network settings (you'll need to reenter your network password) and turning of some auto-time sync setting, both situations causing high battery drain.
There was also something posited abut a fresh install of an iOS/update doing something for a period of time the increased battery drain for a day or two.
It was supposed to be some kind of activity that settled down after a couple of days.
Has it been longer than that?

Yeah - I updated to 9.2.1 when it was released - so it's been a while. I'll do a search for the network reset & time sync ideas. I keep thinking there's a simple fix that I'm overlooking. But, like I said, I've been researching this issue since the 8.4 update and so far nothing has fixed the problem.

I have a feeling your newest, more expensive battery is not as good as you think.
