As suggested, if you are using your iPhone to check new features, apps, games, camera features, radio broadcast etc. just stop using them for a few while. We use a lot of apps and search for getting solutions to get more battery backup when the battery is providing its best.

Check Battery Usage and Turn Off Useless Apps

iOS 9 displays a comprehensive battery usage statistics where you can get the info from. In addition, you can check whether your background processes are consuming more battery or the foreground apps. If any known process or app is killing your battery, this is recommended to stop that app right away to save some battery backup. Generally, Mail and social networking apps like Facebook, Twitter etc. consumes a lot of battery backup. Hence, if you are using them, kill or uninstall that app for a day to check whether the reason is that app or not.

Stop Different Services

Some other background processes like Location Service, Push Notification etc. are required to get better iOS experience. These things help users to get better search result, latest happening, email, Facebook notification, security notification etc. right away. But, on the other hand, they are battery killer. Another thing is Background App Refresh. Some apps need to refresh in the background so that you can get latest updates. For instance, your email app needs to refresh itself after a particular span of time so that it can show latest email. On the other hand, Facebook app needs to refresh itself so that you can get latest notifications, friend requests etc.

According to Apple, iPhone 6S with iOS 9 is capable of providing 12 hours internet usage on LTE. But, that time becomes lower day by day. You cannot expect more than 8 hours of internet usage on LTE.
