Good start

Mine was around that on this charge and I'm charging in a sec with this

Love my 6S battery life. Just an observation (not sure if this has been talked about or if it's just me), my phone charges weirdly. Like it could be at 22% right now then literally 2 min later it's at like 31%. I get excellent battery life though. But the charges jump and sometimes it stagnate for a little bit, al while charging.

Definitely try that and report back if it helps or not.

I did just that, and am just running down the last ~10% of my battery now.. When it's dead, full charge overnight, and then we'll see how it works tomorrow. Thanks.

Yes, William.. Very eager to see your results tomorrow.. What you're experiencing there is NOT AT ALL normative for 6S Plus. Also are you on 9.0.2?

It seems like Facebook is always at the top of my list when viewing the usage. Today it was on 20% with almost 2.5hrs in the background. I have disabled background refresh and it still seems to be running in the background. Anyone else with this issue I know Facebook has never been an good app on neither Android or iOS.

I don't have a link, but Facebook uses a VOIP process to keep it up and running in the background even with background app refresh off. Loophole. So yes you should force close facebook. I uninstalled and am now using a home screen icon to the mobile website. Now I get to block ads with my content blocker too :)

Yes, 9.0.2.

That's likely part of your problem too. Check it out tomorrow.. Still with 9.0.2. If sucky - then move to the public beta of 9.1 beta3.. If that doesn't make a marked improvement then you have a "lemon".. Take it back.

Well, about to unplug my phone for the day, so we'll see how it goes. Fingers crossed. Otherwise I'll give 9.1 a try...
 
Let my 6s drain till it shut off last night.

This is what I have now. First pic is before and second is now. Still think iOS 9.0.1 was better for battery.

110 hours? WTF

That's a pretty impressive result. I'd almost say it was 'Photo-shopped' in .. LOL!!.. But on Low Power mode with barely touching your phone for days I can believe it's possible. But not in real world usage with low power mode back off.
