I purchased this about a month ago. I have been reading a lot of posts out here about people having fairly low battery life. So I had installed Accubattery to see if the discharge is abnormal. I checked today and it seems like Accubattery is claiming that my battery is only at 50~% health. Now I am unsure that if this is because it is a genuine fault or because this phone is supposed to have 2 2500mAh batteries and Accubattery is detecting only one of them. Any idea about this?

I've had my 11T Pro for roughly two weeks and I have the same issue.
It doesn't read charging speed correctly which confuses it's health calculations.
I'm sure your phone is fine.

Those SOT numbers seem erratic. Some reasonable, others look impossible.
When you're using the browser not watching vids the usage should low.
As the previous poster mentioned it may just not have good sensing for battery usage.
Accubattery is only as good as the data it's getting. Even then it can screw up. I don't understand what's going on there.
Rather strange. I don't have that phone so I don't know what it's nominal run time should be. If it's running cool and you can get 8-10 hours SOT you're probably in the ball park.

Hmmm, okay. I'll continue observing my phone's behaviour then. I do get over 8-10 hours SOT on medium usage. Additionally, I read from other threads that the 120W charger isn't charging the phone fully and it makes sense to charge with a lower power charger. So I will try that as well. Will keep this thread updated if I see any improvements.
Accubattery doesn't work well with dual battery setup, that's why it's showing Battery health at 47%.
Set design capacity to 2500.
11T PRO has 2x 2500mah battery for ultra fast charging. Set the design capacity to 2500 and you will be fine.

This presents a potential problem in the future as one battery can degrade and fail independently of the other. You really need to be able to monitoring both.
If the manufacturer designed it properly each battery should have its own power controller in a perfect world. Not sure if this is so on any of the dual battery phones...

So I got a 3500mAh Sedio battery a week ago, and so far its been great. With heavy usage it lasts atleast 2 days. But a weird thing happened to me last night...
I set my alarm, and noticed I had 30% battery left. I figured that was more than enough to last through the night, so I didn't plug it in. But in the morning, my phone was dead!
Check out the log:

This graph is showing a 70% drain over 40 hours, which is normal. But what happened between ~2am and ~7am!?!? (Very right of the graph)
The only thing I've done differently was turn the brightness down to very minimum so I could use it in the dark without burning out my eyes. That doesn't seem a likely cause for such a sharp battery drain though. I also made sure that all tasks were closed before sleeping, as I do every night.
Anyone have any thoughts about why this occurred? I certainly hope the battery isn't going bad already!
In my experience of lithium-ion batteries, the voltage drop tends to be non-linear, and can be very difficult to estimate. Because you are using a higher capacity battery than the standard HTC 1300mAh, it doesn't estimate your battery life as accurately. Mainly (I would guess) because the software is profiled to base it on typical voltage curves of the 1300mAh, and not your beastly 3500mAh. Typically with lithium-ion, you'll see a steady linear drop in voltage until some cutoff point, where it then takes an exponential curve down to zero. My guess is that particular voltage is somewhere when your phone thinks it's got about 25% life left. I don't think there is anything wrong with your battery or phone, I would just assume that your phone tends to over estimate slightly.
Another thing to consider is what the temperature at the time was. Temperature tends to affect the output voltage and then the % battery life as a result. If it was warm or cold, this would also skew the values of your battery life. Usually within typical room temperatures you would see no changes, but I don't know, maybe you live in an igloo!
Hope that helps. On that note, how do you like the 3500mAh? 40hrs sounds like a ton of extra juice! It's not too bulky or anything?
Thank you for your reply. What you say does make sense, but its really weird because I've been discharging it to 5% every time now (conditioning it 6 times, this is my 5th time). All the other times it was a steady drop from 30% to 5%, nothing fast like this, at least as far as I can remember. I'll certainly keep an eye on it though. It wasn't fun to wake up and realize I was late for work, haha.
The battery is fantastic. I use my phone all the time, mainly for games and surfing, plus tons of modding. Thought the day I'll receive a handful of texts, use maps once in awhile, and have bluetooth music going for 2 hours a day. On my 1300 battery, I had everything optimized for maximum battery life, and it'd typically be 20% at end of work day.
With this 3500 monster though, it only goes down to 70% at the end of the day. Its super nice. The battery makes the phone larger, sure. I thought it looked really ugly while I was researching the battery, but once I received it its no problem! Not an eye sore; the phone looks pretty much like it was made like that. I don't even notice it, both aesthetically and form wise. Fits in my hand just as well as it did before, plus the larger door protects the camera lens. Win win all around imo!
New battery was drained and fully charged while the phone was off.
Now it drains to 15% after less then 12 hours of average use.
When charger is unplugged the battery imm goes down to 97%
what is the best way to improve the battery performance ?
Don't use it as much
Everything has a work in time, your phone needs to forget about old battery and dance with a new partner. Give it a chance...
Oh and search is a good thing. This phone isn't cutting edge anymore.

Did you get this battery from china?
It probably has like 800mah.
Is there any battery today that does not originate in China ?
It is marked "SAMSUNG G7 1500mah".
I already tried to calibrate the battery about a week ago using a market application that claims to perform a reset of the battery stats.
after the reset I drained the battery for 3 days and recharged while the phone was off every night (during those 3 days).
then for the first few days the battery actually held up nicely reaching 50-60% after 12 hours.
after a week or so it started to drain more rapidly reaching 15-20% in the evening.
It also fails to hold 100% when the charger is unplugged, going straight to 97%.
should I try another battery or is there a another way to calibrate the battery ?

Its still quite possibly a fake samsung battery. Did it come from a reputable seller at least? If yes return it.

Hey BenKranged
What APP did you use for that screen capture? I know this has nothing to do with this post but looking for one on the market and there are so many to choose from.

Is there a way to identify a genuine non-fake G7 battery ?
That's how mine looks. My battery does seem to drain fast when I am actually using it. But, also when I'm not using it, it seems to keep at a steady battery level for a while. I guess it's a trade off. I also use Juice Defender which definitely helps.
I probably used juice defender for about 4 months. Then I tried running without it and found I got equal or better battery life.
Can someone help me, Im having a battery drain on my lenovo a7000-a,
I already bought 2 Batteries and change roms, but still my battery keep draining and Ive already tried all those calibrate methods around the internet.
From 100% down to around 80-60% is fine, but when it reaches around 60% below, my battery starts draining for like -1% every 30 secs.
Tried different roms and a few apps running.
40% 1:07am down to 1% at 1:14am

Lol welcome to the club.
The battery drain is a classic feature of MTK chipsets and that's a reason why people don't prefer MTK here at xda.
The drain can't be fixed. The kernel sources seem messed up by mtk and unfortunately even though I'm the only one who reached to extreme depths in mtk source in this forum, I couldn't find a solution. Maybe it's just a hardware level issue. Maybe it's an issue with the chip's design itself. One thing I found out was that though we can't fix the drain, we can move it to different parts of battery %. Like you can drop the 20% right at max 100% but keep the rest 80% fine. Or, as by default, you get a drop from around 30-35 upto 15-10%.
I hope I made it clear enough

Am I the only one who thinks that this is a way to make the battery capacity seem bigger/phone lasting longer? That its not a bug but rather a "feature" for manufacturer to make buyers think that phone has better battery than it actually has ?

Nope, I don't think so. During the last few battery % it lasts suspiciously too long, and after the phone dies, you can reboot it and still find 12% battery suddenly come up.
So I think it is actually a bug and a serious one
I got my note 9 two months ago, I downloaded Accubattery today to check battery life then I charged it from 7% to 100%. I was shocked when saw that the battery capacity is reduced a lot! The app says it is now 3505mAh !!! With only TWO MONTHS OF USE !!!
Is that app accurate ?
I play PUBG a lot but that is why I bought the phone; because it is powerful and SUPPOSED to deal with that much of usage !!
I also use VPN all the time
I use 4G only no wifi no NFC no BT
When sleep for 6 hours with mobile data off .. standby consumption is about 2-3%/6 hours
Any suggestions ?

Read this topical about battery on Note9 and do not use any battery monitoring program. Erroneous readings.

Accubattery is your problem my friend, not your battery.
Enjoy your device, stop worrying that much about the battery.
Two hours of screen time presumably playing a video game most of that time, and still have 70% battery remaining. Iphone users would kill for that kind of battery life. Think about it, 2 hours of game playing gets you 30% battery drain, then I can surmise that you can play nonstop for around 6+ hours before your battery dies. That's excellent by any standard. I remember a time when 2 hours of screen time was considered decent, and that doesn't include playing a battery intensive gave. And that time was really only a few years ago.
It seems I'm over-concerned about the battery stuff.
Thank you all.
I got this phone after seeing tons of reviews that Samsung S23 has amazing battery life
But i am ending up charging my phone twice a day because of very less battery life.
I am not a power user, mostly using phone for browsing and texting.
Yet the SOT is still so less?
I am using light mode in battery settings - Adaptive refresh rate - mostly wifi- Dual Sim 5G
25W official Samsung charger.

From your picture you can't see that the battery has been charged for the last 19 hours.
So where are those twice daily charges?
You are using two sims, if the signal is not great or will drain battery.
First of all, turning 5G for dual sims drains the battery so fast and secondly, I can see very well from the image you posted that you haven't charged your phone for 19 hours and some and that's great battery life to me. Also, if you happen to be using your screen at 2k or so, you better lower it at 720p or at least 1080p cause remember that galaxy S23 is only 3900 mAh and that's not a very big battery capacity like its bigger brother the S23 Ultra which is 5000 mAh and can pretty well handle intensive work! Hope my answer helped you.

For those who are saying i didn't charge it from 19 hours, please note that standby time was long because i charged it at 12am last night and then binge watched Netflix on TV, slept late and then woke up late too.
So mostly it was standby.
If i am using it regularly, then the SOT is very less.
Please see the SOT in the screenshot.

You have two sim cards active, three and a half hour of screen on time, and 19 hours of screen off time. I think it is great.
Peogle that shows a great screen on time, they do not stop using it. No screen off time.
