I enabled File history to the card which already had data(aprox 25GB worth) on it and it worked without any issues.

I'm going to put my bets on Google Drive draining the battery, looks like anything Google destroys battery! - will try to install and observe. Anybody tried Firefox? any impact on battery? Thanks for your help.

So i refreshed the device & re-installed some of the apps etc - used the device, ran updates etc and from the battery report it is showing me that the device has been active/used for 7hrs. Switched the device on this morning and I still have 61% remaining !! 23:14 Device was suspended at 63%...
