Help Android 6 battery drain with google services

Hi there, can any1 advise pls...sorry its a long 1 but need an expert.
Got a samsung A3 2016 and seem to continually have to battle battery drain issues- by google play services, device idle, cell stanby etc. I didnt hav issues b4 update of OS to Android 6. Ive stopped the auto sync, disabled location services (inc google loc history), disabled nearby device search, logged out of all accounts, no bluetooth on, nfc off, notifications are all off (other than calendar,text m, email, google drive), screen is on low, data is backed up to google account, apps r on power saving mode. The issue is the batt drains 2 quick when im not using it and the screens off-ill lose 10% in a couple hours. Tried flight mode and its worse, somein is still running...Thought it maybe apps keeping it awake and so installed greenify-which worked well to start with, but the problem has returned AGAIN! Im out of ideas and hope u can help. Ive attached screenshots of the running services done by 'Google play services' and theres like 13 services running-is this right? Any other active app has 1 or 2 services running. Deleting my google a/c and reinstalling has helped b4 but doesnt now...help!!

If the problem started after an update then the first thing to try is going into recovery mode and wiping the cache (not the same as clearing app caches when running Android). If that doesn't fix it then it may be worth backing up important data and doing a full factory reset.
