My battery is draining fast after Sierra OS update.

I had this too - battery drain very fast (in 2 hours) and very very hot. Chatted on line to Mac and booked a telephone call - both failed to resolve - in fact the latter said I needed a new battery (only 587 counts) - so did some research myself - eventually tried a virus scan - I have Bitdefenfer - ran a deep scan (30 mins) It cleaned a lot of stuff but listed 9 areas that I needed to delete myself from Finder (it listed them) it was very easy. Now I have a good battery life back (11 hours) and a cold machine 🙂 Hope it works for you....

Is this still happening after a System Management Controller (power management) re-set?

• Reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support

Does this happen when the unit should be asleep? ~ Or just while its expected to be running?

• Apps can affect Mac performance, battery runtime, temperature, and fan activity - Apple Support

Third party 'cleanmymac' and other flaky utilities can damage the system & make for bad issues.

Out-dated and irrelevant applications or utilities, also can slow the system. An Etrecheck report

may be helpful for others who see it, to offer suggestions. It can also be used to remove adware.

Hard to say what may be the background and history of the system. You could try the Etrecheck

app to see what the report it can generate says about the basics. Odd apps & adware can show.

Also the Console 'utility logs' do show everything that goes on in Mac OS X. ~ An older article:

There are so many useful things built into the macOS. Most things generally tend to themselves.

Good luck & happy trails! 🙂
