I've been truly impressed by this tablet's battery life. Owning it for a few months, I recently switched to the Nexus Stock rom (Android 9.0, stock kernel, no root, no app for optimizing battery).
Test conditions:
- Wi-Fi always turned on
- Bluetooth turned for several hours
- Moderate usage (reading comics, listening to music, not very demanding games)
- Not many apps in the backgroud, just Facebook, Messenger and Discord
With this I managed to get more than 14h30 of SoT from 100% to 5%. Never seen such a good SoT before :good:

Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the Moto Z Force's battery performs under heavy use. A higher rating indicates that it lasts a long time even when playing games, streaming video and audio, and doing other CPU-intensive activities.

2 hours of clash of clans yielded about 20% drain.
2.5 hours of Minecraft max settings wifi hosting a second player and bluetooth controll used 22%. Im impressed
Handles Pokémon Go incredibly. Played for maybe four hours and still had juice in my battery mod.
Lots of heartstone, Sudoku. Some Super hexagon - cruising the interwebs lololol....show and prove, no extended battery mod, 30 mins with the JBL speakers, no mid day charge and still got juice!
This is from a recalibrated battery charge ( phone off - let it charge to 100 and then leaving it on the charger for 30 more minutes) and does seem to make a difference in really getting a full charge properly.
As I type this - 31% left -8 hours estimate at almost 3 am. Very impressed.

Here I played Magic Rampage for 1 hour or so, it was over 30%, I'm using Stock ROM, with Magisk (just the Viper4android module) and Xposed (just the Gravity Box module to customize the Nav Bar) and it's a game extremely lightweight, and burst with the battery.
same here. Gaming not only cause the phone to heat but loose large amounts of battery too. I love this phone but poor battery is what tempting me to switch to some other.
1 hour of pokemon go, and droped 15% of battery...

Same stats for me, 3-4 hours screen battery life
I'm running the latest liquid dark rom and this little g⁴plus scoots. Multi tasks well I stream audio from 8am to 6pm every day. GPS on wifi off,lte on, I come home with 30 % battery left and only a quick charge away from topping it off then it snoozes next to me unplugged as a second alarm clock. I have a one plus 3t and it would be in battery saver mode well before the end of my day.

10hours with moderate use!
6 hours with heavy usage
8-9 Hours (Fb, whatsapp, youtube, xda, browser, no games)
4.5 - 7 hours over 1 - 1.5 days, mid-heavy to heavy use. Sorry, I'm kinda addicted.
I'm only getting 5 hours when my phone gets to 20%, so probably about 5.5 hours. I'm running xiaomi.eu with MIUI optimisation disabled in developer settings. I used to get up to 8 hours with my Mi6, so it's a little disappointing.
10hours With 4G And Watch Video And Use Telegram, Instagram, Hike, Browser And...
12Hours With WIFI And Same Things...

i would say something is not right either with that rom version or your actual battery... i get 5h SoT with 50% battery, wifi on, 2 sim active, auto brightness, moderate use (maybe 20-30 min daily gaming)...
2 days and 8 hours,not best but good. multirom stable 9.5
Getting 7-8 hours SoT with Mi Band always connected and app opened. Latest EU Stable
Great
Thats impressive!??
Ups,
Please delete this post.
Opps.. sorry brother.. my bad!?
My battery life on Miui Eu, 3~4 days, 4~5 hours SOT, 3% by night. Always similar.

7.45 to 8 hours SOT (Always LTE , Moderate Brightness , Full Volume , Mostly YouTube Streaming , Browsing )
10.00 hours SOT (moderate usage, removed bloatware, low-medium brightness), amazingly good battery life!
About 8 hours of SOT
P.S. How can one debloat Rosy 5?

You can use apps like Lucky Patcher if you're rooted. If not, you can follow this tutorial - https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
I personally debloated my Redmi 5 with the tutorial, because I don't have root currently.
7-8 hours, about 4 of them are gaming, some anime watching and a bit of youtube and chrome
I have 2gb/16gb verient.
Lets start with charging-
redmi takes 2 hours from 0 to 100%. First 90% charged in 90 minutes.
Battery Backup- I got around 12:30 hours of Screen on time.
Usage- Browsing (Kiwi browser in night mode) and youtube most of the time. rest music and tried a game for 30 min (Honkai Impact 3rd) as game was lagging so i uninstalled it. Sync was on for 3-4 hours and location services was turned off.
Brightness- 40-50%
Data Usage- 70% wifi and 30% 4G/3G
Note- Those charging curves in the graph are from the pc as i was transfering some files and second time i was debloating the device. No Battery saving mode, No change for animations.
From what I've gathered; the SOT of this phone is great but...
What about stand-by time?
Can anyone tell me how much battery percentage the phone looses at night (~8 Hours)?
To me, anything beyond ~5% with 3G cellular data turned on (4G is overrated!) is unacceptable.

Without sync, wi-fi and cellular data, it drains 1% per 10 hours for me. With sync and cellular data/wi-fi, it would drain 3-4% per 10 hours.

That's quite impressive, I must say.
Thanks!
Redmi 5 plus
more than two days wigh GPS
I got my S2 Tab wifi (T713) a few days ago and I'm kind of disappointed with the battery life. I've got around 6-6.5h SoT with battery saving in the last 30%.
I'm still on stock, should I root and slap on LineageOS 14 or 15.1?
Thanks in advance
Depends what you're doing. Check your battery usage and see if you can identify what's the highest drain.
I just checked mine: 3h38min used 34%, so that would project out to 10+ hours SOT. This is reading / web surfing with screen brightness at about 10%. Gaming or bright screen will cut that down, of course, but it's the best of any of the tablets I've owned.
Thanks for your reply, but you ommited one crucial information for me - on what ROM/Android version are you?
Also that is really bad way to estimate battery life, please provide some numbers when you hit 5% battery.
My main consumer is the screen with ~35% battery usage.
I use my tablet mainly for reddit (sync for reddit app) which is a mix of reading, gifs and videos, but mostly reading and for YouTube.
I tried setting the screen to lower brightness but I wouldn't use it lower from 25-30%, I don't want the whites to be greys.
I'm wondering if LineageOS would improve something, or maybe rooting and applying ad blocking to the stock rom.
I'd also like to apply a dark theme.
It's still under the warranty, it's a week old, so I'm still figuring out if voiding the warranty would be worth it.
I would keep it stock and enjoy it. Over 6 hours of screen time is actually pretty good. Did you use it straight for those six hours? Do you have sync, nfc, gps turned on? Any apps that continuously refresh like weather, email, or other games, etc.... Battery drain is very subjective. I use my tablet for media and gaming. I find it difficult be productive on this tablet. I own a Surface pro and battery is terrible, but great for productivity.
Yeah, I'm going to stay stock - I managed to put SABS on it so I have ad blocking and I can disable the Samsung bloatware so I hope that will improve battery life overall.
As I said in my previous post, I use it mostly for browsing, very rarely for gaming and I know games drain the battery a lot.
My gps/nfc/bt all is turned off all the time.
Only wifi for browsing.
I have Lineage OS latest on the Tab S2 SM-T713 and if you do gaming on it, it will be miserable, barely two hours of SOT.
Anything over 5h of SOT is good for this tablet. Samsung took the decision to sacrifice battery in name of weight, (or lack of it.) For me, this was a great decision.
If you've just bought this, consider returning it and looking at the Huawei M3/M5. The Mrs is a power user and get around 8h of SOT.
