Is there something that is using your GPS intensively? Don't forget to check the system services, which do not show the localization icon on the top bar.
Safari 30%
snapchat 25%
Home & Lockscreen 10%
28% battery left. 5 hrs use even though this goes up when all my apps are closed.I never had these problems before iOS 8.3 or 8.2. Restoring should have helped but it's done nothing, if anything, it's made it worse.
I would recommend restoring as a new phone, this is the only way to be sure that the problem is happening on a stock system and not being brought back in with the backup.
I've done it, going to charge my phone and see if it makes a difference. I'll let you know.
Give a look at the GPS settings, as I told you before. Especially the system services.
Checked all that, set it so the never use location services or for the ones i need, only when using app. Made no difference.
In that case your phone must discharge within 2 hours of a full recharge, which means there is some serious defect in your battery and you must visit Apple. Fortunately, since your phone is within the warranty period they will change your battery no worries.
It might... have improved it a bit, but it's still well below the battery performance I was getting a few months ago.
Done that to the apps I don't use much. The thing is I haven't changed anything and my battery has fallen loads.
Probably grasping at straws but this may be worth reading:

I strongly agree with this. Sounds like there is something wrong with your battery itself.
