@Brian Burch - You might get more run time if you minimize the bt device manager window instead of closing it after pairing (assuming that you are using blueman device manager.) I find kernel 4.5 works a little bit better with bluetooth. kernel 4.3.6 works like I'd expect with bluetooth, if you don't need the newer kernel features.
We are describing is a kernel bug. I have the same bt connectivity issues using Manjaro.
