My Nikon D7000 had over 140,000 shutter releases so I bought a Nikon D7500. I have a mirrorless Sony A6000, but I hate having to constantly turn it back on and carrying 5 spare batteries, because that camera eats them alive. It is light weight though.
I too own the Sony A6000 and unlike you take one spare battery for a shoot or 2 if I'm going for the whole day to multiple locations. In the later case only when it is a cold winter day do I get to use the 3rd battery.
One setting I know helps to save juice? Under custom settings, The gear icon, set the pre- AF to off. It is the first setting on the 3rd column.
I don't use any of the wireless features either. I have a fellow user who bought off brand batteries and we did a test and he found out the old adage, you get what you pay for.
Hope this helps.
