Bug Description

Sometimes the battery drains from full load to almost zero in less than an hour (see provided screenshots). It seems not to be an display issue, as the results stay the same after reboot.
Discovered this problem just after the last OTA (20151015-214614).
The device charges over night to 100%. I disconnect it from the powersupply an start a webapp (mostly "Tagesanzeiger", sometimes "Google+" or both), use it for approx. 5 minutes. Coming back to the device half an hour later, the battery sometimes is down at 20%.
Unfortunately I am not able to reproduce it constantly. Currently it happens round about every third day.

Just let me know if / how I can provide more specific / helpfull information.

Many thanks,
Stefan

Thats a very interesting graph, its quite coincidental that the level went back to where it was prior to charge

Can you add your /var/log/syslog and the files from /var/lib/upower
