After making some research and trying to find out why Google Play Services is one of the top battery draining apps in Lollipop, I could see that somehow WiFi keeps enabled and trying to find "something" with the Google Play Services.

Before start, I should say that I made a factory reset and updated the apps that comes with the phone, so no possibility for an app behaving in weird manner.

I left my phone overnight with just the signal enabled, this means no data, no sync, no WiFi, to see if the drain it´s the normal one from the phone itself:

The red part is something strange I noticed it, it seems that "something" awake the device and mysteriously activated the WiFi.

I usually keep my WiFi and sync all my accounts through WiFi when being in home/work, and disable sync and activating data when I have no WiFi range. For the half part of the day, the phone behaved good. After I left work, I go to some place for around 2 hours when I have no WiFi connection; after 2 hours of being there, I checked my phone and it almost drain about 10% and Google Play Services became the top application on the battery graph.

After getting home, I checked again the graph and notice some important facts: it seems that WiFi never was disabled and Google Play Services made a great impact on the battery for the couple of hours I wasn't connected to WiFi.

Moreover, disabling all the connections (except cellular signal) doesn't work and still keep the WiFi enabled and Google Play Services consuming a lot of battery; finally, the only way to interrupt this WiFi insanity was to put the phone to airplane mode for a couple of minutes and then turn WiFi on in my home.
