I don't think that has to do with the update. I would try retarting and charging up again. Could be something got stuck draining the battery that should have been shut down already.
 
I'm starting to think that all the updates are to decrease battery life to force people to buy newer phones

I have better battery after the update. Your system may need to calibrate after an update. If you are rooted use battery calibration by nema. If not rooted charge to full and let battery drain til around 10% before putting back on charger.

I'm still having issues with apps trying to update and it says insufficient storage available.

Mine did the same thing. However I also downloaded ADW launcher and even though it was not set as my default, that is what seemed to be draining the battery. Today is the 1st day after I uninstalled program and it seems to be maintaining as it was before.

Update did not improve battery life on my device, but it appears it didn't hinder it either.
 
mine was horrible as well when i first did the update gave it a few days then i let my battery drain untill dead recharged it with the phone off it has improved greatly the same as before if not better

I've had that happen too, but then I try again and it seems to work.

I'm using Juice Defender (which I didn't expect to work) on the extended battery, but it looks like I could get between 20 and 22 hour with 4G and Live Wallpaper. That's enough for my needs,but I was getting about the same as before the update.
