I purchased this tablet brand new maybe 6 months ago and haven't used it that much at all.
Tablet is maybe charged like 10 times total.
I noticed that Screen on time is drastically used from 9 hours when I purchased it (9 hours on wifi) to now only 6 hours (cca like 70 % of use with wifi).
So I thought that the stock charger is reducing the battery capacity because it is quick charger and charging battery with high current which I don't need.
Is it possible quick charger is the issue and making battery in worse condition?
Now I put it to charge over USB 2.0 port which is I think giving only 500 mA.
I never got 10 h of screen on time like on declaration of the tablet.
What is your SOT for this model?

My record is 11 hours using Netflix and Amazon video with 100% Wi-Fi in 48 hours of use. If it's 6 days, about 9 and a half hours. Downloading series and watching the chapters offline, it gives me 12 and a half hours with manual brightness of 70% on average. I am on android 9 and I have no intention of going up to A10 or A11 if it ever arrives. Very happy with my Tab S 5e!
Li's don't like sitting at a full charge especially in high heat. A 50% charge is much better for long idle times. Limiting the top charge to 80% and the max discharge to 20%, preferable 40% will greatly increase the life of the cell.
The capacity lose is most likely permanent.
If any swelling is noticeable replace immediately... fire hazard.
Then something is wrong with my tablet.
My total SOT is around 6 h watching youtube videos.
Is it better to do slow(normal) charge for the health of battery?

I want to make the most out of my galaxy tablet 10.1 battery life, i was wondering what would be the best care for it. Each 1% for me lasts about 4 and half minutes on 40% brightness, wifi on, gps off, and auto rotation off. I heard the g.tab gets close to 9 hours of battery life, but I estimate mine about 7.5ish? Also, would it be best to completely drain the battery and then recharge to 100? I heard its not good for lithium battery to drain completely and recharge because it will put more wear to it. Any suggestions?
Thanks
There are many theories but the following is what i follow.
It's not a good idea to discharge below 20%.
Lithium batteries don't like to be stored fully charged for long persiods of time, lithium battery is most happy at nominal voltage, so it's not a good idea to leave your device connected to charger if not needed.
I seem to get 1hour of display on use for 10% of battery, this is with minimum screen brightness.
Having read up about this I have decided to charge mine every night no matter what the charge. A typical day use can leave me with 40 percent to 80 percent left. I discovered that a charge cycle is not the same as a charge. A cycle means 100 percent of the charge stored being taken off and put on the battery. So if you use 20% a day and charge each night that is 1 cycle in 5 days not 5 cycles. There is no reason to avoid plugging it in as you dont want the charge to drop too low or else the battery is lessened very slightly.
I am sure there are lots of opinions on this but am happy with the above and battery performance is great. I was worried about unnecessary charging but that is not the thing to worry about - do anything you can to keep it over 20% (although a near total discharge every month would be good to keep the calibration in check).
Don't stress about it too much. Just enjoy the device. With sensible use your tab will he long replaced and discarded before the battery fails.

^^^ my thoughts exactly. By the time the battery fails to hold a charge, the device will be far out dated...
Hello Experts,
I received a new nexus 4 and noticed that it takes around 3.5 to 4 hrs for complete charging from 5% to 100%.... is it normal? my other sony xperia seems to be charge in about 1..5 hr
since i am new to Nexus 4, not sure what is the avg charge time and should i call for RMA? Please let me know what is the avg time for charging.
thx

Perfectly normal. You want a nice slow steady charge, especially in a sealed phone. The battery needs to last as long as possible. Fast charging batteries significantly reduces their lifespan. My old Nexus S takes the same amount of time to charge from 5%.. 3-4hrs or so give or take.. I still have the two year old original battery and it holds a charge just as well as it did the day I bought it. Meanwhile my 15 minute charge AA batteries I bought last year lose their charge in a week just sitting on the desk.
Mine is just about the same, but that's under use. If I don't touch the phone, it typically charges to 100% in about an hour.
And if it's through USB.. um.. more like 8 hours to fully charge.
Battery widget reborn (awesome app btw) says my phone usually charges in about 2.5 hours. This is on Qi though not sure about the regular wall charger.
2-2.5 hours for me on usb wall charger and Qi Orb.

From 2 hr 45 min (from around 12-15% juice left), my charge time has reached to 3 hr 30 mins now (i.e. from 1% juice left)... 14% juice wouldn't make such a huge difference so don't really know why it increased..

yes, this is one of the reasons i started this thread to understand what everyone is experiencing.... i called up the google customer support and they are ready to send in a RMA as it appears to be a higher side...
so let me know your thoughts guys...should 3.5 hrs charge time considered high and warrant a RMA? share your thoughts.
^ Hmmm.. I doubt if this would mean anything serious or worth RMA-ing. I can but I won't RMA my device because it's been exceptional so far. I am fairly happy with it and wouldn't want to get it replaced with a defected one.
Its perfectly normal especially from around 5% to 100%.. In my experience if you dont let it get below 20% it usually charges faster. I wouldnt RMA it especially if your phone is perfectly fine in other aspects.
I tried with a different charger yesterday and it took similar time. The charger has same voltage input levels.
You charge 3 hours, for only double the lifetime. How pathetic, actually. I didn't thought that the battery life would be that bad. I can hardly make trough 1 day, if I play some games, make some calls, and use a little bit of internet. On the last charge I got 4Hours of screen on time with 15% left.
Gosh, at least it's fun to use it. :/
I thought the charge time would be long. This morning in class my battery dipped down to 12% as the class was wrapping up. I got back home around between (9:50 and 10am) and started charging my note 2014 while it was powered off. In ~2.5 hours I'm around 55-60%. Personally I don't think this is too bad at all.
What have your experiences been like so far?
Update. I just unplugged it and I'm at 91%. This thing charges much faster than I thought. What were the conditions in which reviewers said it was 7+ hours?
Update: I'm also interested in how long the charge tends to last for you.
mine was ~2.25 hrs from 20% to 80% then ~1.5hrs for 80%100%. the fast charge cycle is pretty decent, it's that last 20% trickle that can feel like it's dragging on. bmw pro says 4:14 for a full 0-100% charge which seems to be in line with my results.
I put mine on the charger at 5% before going to bed. When I got up 5 hours later it was fully charged. Not sure when it reached full charge but definitely less than 5 hours.
From 5% to 100% in 4hours en 45 minutes.At 5% screen on time of 7 hours en 24 minutes!

This occurs with mine as well. It's that 80-100% that takes a while but when I charge it anywhere before that it's pretty fast. Probably helps with the long term battery life. Which I'm fine with.
I'm thinking that review got a bad battery. This happened with my first GN10.1 when it took forever to charge after using it the first weekend.
I swapped it out and the new one charged fairly quickly (considering). This new tablet seems to be just a little longer to charge but not 7 hours.
This has been about my experience too. I was really worried before because a lot of reviews said this tablet takes forever to charge to full. Glad to see that smart-charging mitigates this almost completely since an 80% charge easily gets me through a full day of moderate use.
Mine has been 4.5-5 hours, which is AWESOME!
People expect it to charge as fast as their phone need to realize the battery is much larger! I have had the same experience with a new, bad battery taking longer to charge as well though.
The 1st picture attached is my charge time for one night so far. Using the System Monitor app. Really digging that app. You can even have floating windows that stay on top as you run things.

my charge times are about 4 hours from 5% to 100 with screen on and energy saver, with it off, i go from 5% to 1005 in about 3 hours
As pleasant a surprise the charge time was I must admit that the charge tends to go pretty quickly. I'll post back with specifics when I get a chance to properly mark the times and usage.
I know there is already information on this topic ..... I have read conflicting advice on how to charge cell phone batteries, but I want to make sure and get the maximum use and life from the ZeroLemon 10000 Extended Battery for my Note 3 .....
The directions from the company simply state to give six full charges, but there is no explanation exactly what that means. I have sent the company a question regarding this issue, but still have not yet received an answer .....
I just finished the third full charge. When I received the battery, I charged it for 12 hours before unplugging from the charger. Then allowed my Note 3 to go completely dead (to Zero %). Then charged again for 12 hours. Did this three times so far.
I'm only getting around 37 hours of medium to heavy use, or about 1 1/2 days, and around 18-20 hours of Screen On Time, which seems somewhat impressive!
After I go through six charging cycles, should I always charge for 12 hours, or is this no longer necessary?

Based on what I read in charging lithium ion batteries ( which I also practice ), you don't wait until battery discharges to 0 before charging it since it shortens the life span of the battery by damaging the negative electrode. The recommendation is to charge it once it reaches 10% and don't have to fully charge battery to 100%, just around 90 - 95%. Since lithium ion batteries don't have memory effect, partial charges and discharges don't have negative effect on the overall battery life.
Didn't made this up, just quoting from memory.
Never let my stock note 3 battery go below 5 percent. I am getting great battery life. The same with my old i9100.

Its been like 2-3 months since im using the lg g6
I see that the charge time taken is around 1hr 40 mins to 2 hrs.
I wanted to know if its possible to make it charge in lesser time as i have moved out of town and i travel a lot. I get like 1600ma in ampere from default charger i tried using the opt dadh charger im getting like 1500 ma oonly .
Any idea what to do ?

The charger that comes in the box for US models isn't quick charge 3. I got Aukey QC3 from Amazon. I rarely let it get low enough to know precisely how long a full charge takes though. My partial charges usually an hour. Often I don't charge the last 5-10% as it takes far too long for the benefit it provides. Also take a charger with you! car charger, wall charger, charge in restaurants etc
I have a Pixel 2 USB.PD charger that fast charges in roughly the same time. The one that came with the phone is slower, but not by a lot.
Thanks for the information
From some days im having battery drain issue im getting like 9-10 hrs standbytime with 2:30 mins sot mobile network in use any thing i can do to increase it
In battery options, look at app usage by percentage.
In developer options look at running services & see what's running for the longest.
For me, firefox takes the largest chunk of power by far, everything else is at 1-2%
I have about 80 user apps installed, I avoid all apps with ads & still get 4 hours SOT on a year old device. Also I live in a valley with terrible signal. So I get battery drain from the GSM/LTE radio which is usually at 1 bar.
