I recently update my MacBook Pro 13" with TouchBar 2017 model to Mac OS High Sierra, Now I feel my laptop battery is draining faster. Battery life is less that half of previously. Can anybody help me how to fix that issue?
MacBook, macOS High Sierra (10.13)

First try resetting SMC as kaz-k suggested. It may be all that is needed.
If it doesn’t fix it:
1) Open Activity Monitor and see what applications and processes are using a lot of energy
2) Run Etrecheck and post its report here so we can look for possible software issues.
Looking at that report you seem to have a lot of adware/ malicious software. I would download Malwarebytes and check your system with that.
The problem as far as I can guess is one particular process which is using a lot of cpu. It’s called xmemapp and a search of google indicates it’s a bitcoin mining malware, meaning it’s using your cpu to mine bitcoins. As the cpu usage is very high it’s not surprising it’s affecting the battery.
I suspect once you get rid of that it will go back to normal again.
Resetting SMC could solve the problem.

Read See how apps affect Mac performance, battery runtime, temperature, and fan activity - Apple Support. Give your Mac some time to do all the processing required after a macOS upgrade.
The thread below has more details of removal for xmemapp:

Thank you Kaz-K, I will follow this step and see either it will solve my problem or not. 🙂 🙂
