Extremely high current consumption during advertising - broadcast mode(ble_app_temp)

Question

I have written application similar to ble_app_temp (posted by Ole Morten) and during the test I noticed that current consumption is extremly high. I used brand new coin battery that was included in evaluation kit and after ~10 minutes battery status was only 40% ( I checked this also with ble_app_hrs app). At the beginning I though that it was caused by the data included in advertisment packet ( I added 10 bytes of data to manufacturer data - adv interval was 1 second), but then I tested my battery with original app (ble_app_temp) and the effect was the same. My question is: did anyone also encountered such a problem with high current consumpion in case of broadcaster mode? I will test different battery today but I am afraid that is not case of battery. 
 Thanks in advance for your help.

I suspect that this problem may be caused by the enabling of the ADC interrupt, when the interrupt is not used. Try removing the line 
 
 NRF_ADC->INTENSET = ADC_INTENSET_END_Msk;

 
 from the battery_level_get() function. 
 Edit: For completeness, also include some other things that should be checked when seeing unexpected current consumption: 
 
 Make sure that you power-toggle your board after programming, as discussed here . 
 If you use the Evaluation Board, make sure to disconnect or turn off the Segger chip (i.e. remove jumpers on P8 or turn off SW4 depending on board revision). 
 Make sure that the lines that are connected to the UART of the Segger chip are defined as input with their buffers disconnected, or cut the UART solderbridges.
