I didn't notice the improved battery life. I stopped using my Nexus 7 because the 4.4 update totally broke syncing my work e-mail.
The 4.4.2 update fixed it, but I don't understand how they could ship with such a fundamental bug.
I find myself using my Nexus 7 less and less.

I upgraded from 4.3 to 4.4 on my N7. Seems like I'm charging it more since I upgraded
the 4.4.2 update made my standby battery life much better than the 4.4.1 update on the nexus 7 wifi 2013
I don't even know why there's a poll function when Facebook uses GCM Push. I guess people really want their news feed updated before they even launch the app.I found 4.4 was slightly better on Battery life. But as always I switch off a lot of polling that apps do like Facebook checking every 15 mins or so.
Yeah, I'm having problems with my Exchange account on all my Android 4.4 devices (Nexus 4, 5, and 7 2013). It works fine at first. However hours later "Email sync" hangs and stops updating. So I have to manually turn Email Sync off and back on to temporarily jump start it.
Glad to hear 4.4.2 fixes that. It finally arrived on my Nexus 5 today (haven't installed it yet though).
Regarding the OP's original question. I haven't noticed a difference in battery life on my Nexus 4 or 7 2013 after going from 4.3 to 4.4. Though I use both of those less frequently and battery is never an issue. Though my Nexus 5 has always gotten me through a full day with my personal usage level.
