Wi-Fi - The Phone Battery killer?

Yesterday I came back from a trip (Boise). When exiting the plane, I switched off Wi-Fi on my phone because the plane's Wi-Fi system interferes with the phone's data when on the ground.

I forgot to switch the Wi-Fi back on. I did put the phone on my wireless charger at work, but neglected to plug it in when I came home (5PM).

This morning, about 14 hours later, I checked my battery after seeing I forgot to charge it overnight. To my surprise I found it to be 84% full! That is amazing. Usually I lose more than 1/2 my charge in a workday. It has to be the Wi-Fi doing this, since it was the only thing different.
