Was watching YouTube last night with battery at around 90 percent when it suddenly shut off and gave the flashing red light. I plugged it in for a few mins then it turned back on and is working normally. When I turned it back on the battery showed it was completely drained. How does the battery go from 90 percent to 0 percent instantly? Is this a valid reason to RMA? I'm worried the battery is damaged. Attached is picture of battery stats showing how it completely discharged.

Just a word of warning against buying an in car charger of eBay. I got one free with a phone holder, From here.
I used if for a few days no problem. I did notice that it did get a bit hot but thought that was because of the phone being so powerful.
Driving along the motorway at full speed and bang. The charger exploded. Loads of smoke.
I quickly unplugged what was left of the charger.
After I stopped I plugged in my other charger. But it would not charge. When I got home I plugged it in to the mains and fully charged it. When I got the battery full message I unplugged it but still got the battery full message. Even a hour after.
I use battery life from curvefish. Normally it says good. But then it said over volt. I turned off the phone. Then I got a loop of the following screens.

this is after a hour of the battery being out. put it in. before i can turn it on it does the above.
I have had the phone for 34 days at this point. So I phoned phones4u who said yes I had it for 34 days but I was still able to exchange and not a repair. So I am lucky to get a new phone. But now am worried about using in car chargers.
not anything of use. just some info.
think i will look for a official samsung in car charger.
oh, and the phone holder was crap too.
I have a LG G2 which I'm working on for a friend. For what ever reason, the phone just started to rapidly drain, and will shut off anywhere from 50% to 20%. When the phone shuts off, it will only show the LG logo when trying to turn on. I then have to connect it to a charger, and when I turn it on with it plugged in, it will be around 65%-75%.
I've attempted to reset battery stats while at 100%, but with no success. I'm in process of wiping and restoring against my will. Anyone have a solution? I'm thinking it may just be a toast battery.
Here is a picture of the battery stats.

You should try replacing the battery, sounds like it's defective anyway. However, you may want to see what happens when you disconnect the battery, then connect it again.

I just disconnected the battery after a 100% charge. When I turned it on, it was at 95%, and has dropped to 90% in about 2 minutes. I've ordered a battery, so unless there is something else to try, I feel that's the only option at this point.
Goodday folks, So i have a 910F running stock android 5.0.2 i recently noticed that sometimes my battery charges really slow from 90% till 100% to measure charging current i download an app called battery monitor by 3c. The current seems to be normal however i noticed another weird issue that my phone continues to draw some power from charger even when the battery indicator is full with green led (the draw seems to be going down around 100ma when i took it off) . Im using stock fast charger and cable can anyone else confirm if this is normal or if i have a defective unit? Attaching a picture for reference. Thanks

it will draw power to keep the battery at 100%
and it's normal for the charging rate to go down a bit when almost full.
a battery produces more heat while charging when it's almost full, so they need to slow down the charging to reduce the heat production.
mine showed 92 percent after the first charge cycle and now that i charged it again it is showing 91 percent. i have had the phone for two days. Just curious to see what you guys have.

new batteries need a few cycles to reach max potential

I would suggest try it after a few Cycles.
92% here as well. Need to give it a few more charges I think.
the app suggest to keep the battery at 80% max.. what do you think ? are you doing it or need the extra juice ? and if 80% is better, why wont smartphone or charger stop at 80% them self ? the 80% suggestion is because the higher temperature at the end of the charging, but since dash charge keeps the heat out of the phone, does it really matter ?
92% here as well.... Had it since the first day from popupstore.
I#M not really sure if it make sence to charge only to 80%, maybe its better for the accu for the long time usage, but for 1-2 years, dont know if there is a huge difference.
I thought I left my tablet at 50 % battery,and I really haven't used it for like many months,probably around 3-4 months.
Earlier I wanted to check the tablet and found out that battery was 0 %.
Now I know that is bad for battery,but now I feel sad.
I thought I left my "boy" to 50 % capacity,but dunno what happened,probably I left it at 15 % last time and battery depleted.
So now I'm wondering any serious consequences to battery,because it was at 0% for God knows how long.
I will check the SOT today when I charge it,and will report back.
I know I had around 10 h of SOT.
I used the tablet for 3 days watching yt 1080p video at lower then medium brightness with power saving mode ON.
I charged the tablet before this to 70 % and discharge to 15 %.In total got 394 minutes of SOT.
99% of time used for watching 1080p video.
I guess ain't bad,huh?
Here is screenshot from AccuBattery.
