I'm getting barely more than 3 hours SOT despite making every suggested change I can find. I'm starting to think the battery is faulty, but the voltage on a full charge according to GSam Battery Monitor is the stated 4.35 volts (4.32 in one of the screenshots I have) so I'm not sure.
Current setup: Seraph's CM13.0 build with Boeffla kernel. Using the zzmoove governor and I limited the touch boost to 900Mhz (also tried disabling it to little effect). Greenify set to auto hibernate most apps.
I've seen people state they get 5-6 hours SOT, so I'm frustrated I'm not even close. Seraph's build made the phone perform more like I'd hoped when I first bought it, but the battery life is a nightmare. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know what is normal, but my battery life is more or less similar. I'm on OOS 2.2.1.
Use Exodus, Halogen, Oxydium, or Hydrogen OS. Try CM Roms after they merge OOS3 sources.
You should get 4-6 hrs sot on single sim LTE over 24hrs, or 3-4hrs SOT on dual sim over 24 hrs, as per my experiences.

What you need is a custom kernal. I recommend Boeffla Kernal + boeffla custom profile + greenify + amplify.

Thank you
4-5h SOT in means.
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Xiaomi Mi 8 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Can any of the device owners share their experience so far with it?
I'm on xiaomi.eu MIUI 10 open beta so battery life can be better when it's stable. Buts it's pretty decent right now I'm happy with it.
15 percent per hour if display is on. If display off than 0.5 percent.
On my usage I get two days.
Battery life is a good surprise, I'm using xiaomi eu
My MI 8 can reach upto 7h30 on-screen time, how about you #5 and #n?
The battery is what I was looking for in a smartphone. Constantly using it (web browsing, facebooking, gaming, youtubing, etc.) for a day, it could last around 8hrs or more, playing games heavily it could drop to 6hrs. I have been using the phone for around 2hrs per day, and it could last up to 3 days. Ah, I have Always-On enabled. My rom is still China, waiting for bypass time to unlock it.
How do you get that SOT? I'm on xiaomi.eu 8.8.30 and max I get is 5 hours

So you are on miui 10 beta, i am still on miui 9.6.7, i hope it is not the issue. I put most of my apps to "not running in background", some are set with no restriction. But the system still kills all apps once in a while, i am new to xiaomi phone so I still dont know if this can be disabled or not. I have not installed all of my daily drive apps because I want to unlock the bootloader and flash global rom first, i also hope this is not the issue
My normal standby drain is about 12hrs for 10%. Oh, I do go battery settings to solve any detected issues when I am on break. I also hide the notch.
Battery life is solid, running china dev and i get 2 days with total ot 5+ hours SOT. For a non stop use indoor i can go 8+ hours
xiaomi.eu ROM (up to 8.8.30) drains battery fast, 15-20% per hour with screen on, = maximum of 4.5-5h SOT. With global stable or global beta ROM getting around 8-8.5h SOT, 10-15% during usage.
Yesterday i bought the phone, fully charged and at 25% i got 7h+ screen on time.. which is completely amazing!! Global stable 9.6 here..
You can easily get over 7 hours of SOT, and more than 30 hours on one charge.

Hi people I wanna alert everybody: DO NOT UPGRADE TO MIUI 10. It drains so much battery than miui 9.6 stable. I've wiped full data, it drains less than before ,but more than 9.6. global stable. I post screeshots

China developer 8.8.31 . Sync off.
I'm using the Google Pixel Rom.
Having 44Hours since last charge of which 4:40 are SOT with 19% battery left.
With xiaomi.eu oreo i've at least 5h SOT and i can arrive at night with no problem
Wifi - 8h
LTE - 4-6h depends on usage
I've got easy 8 hours on WiFi (YouTube, Facebook and so on)
Been using mi rom from start; before the update I used to get standard 10h sot. After an update sot got real bad. so I rolled into custom rom. Used havoc (latest build) not good sot around 5-6h only using moderate things. then went to extended ui by far good sot near 7h still no enough i guess. then tried evolution x 3.5 it was few bugs also not good sot;
so now I rolled back to MIUI 11 global (android 10) 11.0.4 .
i tried calibration still no improvement..
If anyone can help me with this it would be great... TIA
I'm having the same issue, I've already tried MiuiMix, MiGlobe, no ROM seems to be fine, it looks like Android 10 it's draining a lot the battery life...Nothing seems that can be done, I can barely get 4H SOT with this device...I like it a lot but the battery life it's a shame....
