Nope, mine is about the same, worse on some days for no apparent reason. I used to get up to 5 hours SOT on Lollipop and on the first beta test of Marshmallow. But ever since an update to the MM beta and now the official release, battery life sucks. I'm usually in the red after 2-2.5 hours SOT and 14-15 hours uptime.
I tried a factory reset but same problem. I restored with Smart Switch though, so I may try another reset but reinstall my apps from the Play Store and restore everything else manually by USB.

Also getting about 3 hours on screen time, hoping the marshmallow update will help and not make it worse.

Sounds like you are doing good. I've had mine since June. There are times when I can barely make it 9 or 10 hours on a charge with 1 hour of screen time. The phone will lose charge by just sitting idle. I am charging it 2 or 3 times a day. I love this phone but hate the battery.

Ya major weakness in battery department... I love the phone too though

Marshmallow has made my battery life worse. I have tried and app on Plays tore called Doze and seen a good improvement

Just switched to gs6 edge from BlackBerry Passport. Biggest mistake ever ! Battery lasts no more than 5 hours

Pugs1957, if you downloaded MM on your S6, doze is already on your phone. It operates in the background automatically. Remember, for doze to work, your S6 has to literally be left alone without being touched. Another thing is to give your phon a chance to get used to the new update. All the tweaks aren't out of it yet.

Some guys didn't like my comments in the below post, but I really recommend to uninstall/deactivate everything you don't need and "optimize" all apps from which you don't need to get notifications. In my case that helped a lot. Maybe this is not a solution for everyone, but I'd be glad if it helps at least some.
