Help debunk 6.0.1 boot loop battery issue



Have you experienced this boot loop issue after the 6.0.1 update? I bet it's a software issue, not hardware. Here's why:

Description
New in box Verizon Note 4 N901V, activated July 2015. No mods, roms or launchers. Ran like a champ on 4.4.4, skipped 5.1.1, installed 6.0.1 a couple weeks ago. Device heated up, battery declined, now boot loops like above video unless charger connected.

Troubleshooting
  • Disable Fast Charging
  • Install Wake Lock PowerManager, set Partial Wake Lock
  • Update all installed apps
  • Wipe cache from recovery, power off/on
  • Factory reset from recovery, power off/on
  • Store provided CLNR N901V running Marshmallow out of the box, tried original battery and another used battery at the store, issue persists
Hypothesis
I say something software-related in 6.0.1 is making good batteries seem defective when they're not. I also speculate that a new battery will fix only temporarily. Has anyone resolved by downgrading to Lollipop or KitKat? Disappointing to see the world's greatest smartphone crippled before its time.
