Help S6 battery

My s6 battery is always used up by cell standby. I tried wiping the cache and factory reset but those methods didn't work. Is there any way to fix this?
 
Give us some more information - how long on per charge, what else are you doing (e.g. how much time spent with the screen on), and are you in a weak signal area?

A better battery monitor than Samsung supply, such as GSam Battery Monitor or Better Battery Stats, will give more information.

If the phone is barely used, then cell standby will naturally dominate power usage. If you spend a lot of time in weak signal areas, so the phone is working harder to maintain a connection, or constantly dropping out and reconnecting, switching from 3G to 2G, then that will use a lot of power, so in a weak signal area cell standby is very likely to dominate. But without more information about your time on and usage it's impossible to say whether what you are reporting is normal or a problem.
