Here are reasons why your phone loses power easily
Background Apps

Be on the lookout for apps that are less useful but keep running in the background. They exhaust the battery faster as they may always be activated. To check for them, use your device’s app manager. Screensavers also use up battery easily.

When the brightness of your phone is set to a very high one, it consumes battery power as fast as possible. To protect your phone’s battery, lower the screen brightness to a minimal one.
4G Network

4G network consumes more power than 2G and 3G although it is faster. But to use this, you have to turn on your data connection. Turning on your data connection drains battery power in a capital way. So, if you are not doing anything-downloading or streaming, turn off your 4G network or switch to a less consuming network.
Automatic Syncing of apps and data
When you automatically sync your photos, audios, videos and files and app data, your battery is likely to go off faster.
Charging phone up to 100%

Many people keep their phones 100% charged, but do you know it is not so good for your phone? Experts have suggested this isn’t the ideal charge for a long battery life. Instead, keep it charged from between 40% to 80%.
Battery Draining Apps

Some apps make use of some features on your phone which in turn drains the battery. Apps like gaming apps or camera- enabled, audio / video related apps consume battery than normal use.
Hardware Issue

If you’ve scrutinized your app usage, checked your battery usage as well as other things and your phone still becomes low easily. Then it is possible that there is a hardware problem that needs to be checked.
