Battery AC DELCO or SAMSUNG
My rec would be to find somewhere that sells AC Delco Gold batteries, that's what I use at my shop and they usually have a very good 42mo free replacement warranty and they're great batteries. As long as you don't buy walmarts brand, you're good. I've replaced like 8 Walmart batteries that were less than 6mo old in the last two weeks. No idea wtf those guys are doing.
Longest battery I had was from AC delco, lasted 10y! But apparently they are different now.
Maybe they’ve finally fixed the Doze mode they promised? Because, from what I can tell, my battery never improved after they released One UI 7. I’ve had this phone for two years, and the battery always dropped quickly - even when it was just sitting idle. But today, for the first time since I got the device, I unplugged it in the morning and still had 50% remaining by midnight.
I'm gonna 2nd the AC Delco recommendation. I have had nothing but issues with Duracell's leaking. I have never had an issue with AC Delco. Its the only battery I buy. The best.
I actually like this change. It's telling me the actual battery charge. What I don't like is at least on my S 8 Ultra is it hits 85%, then starts discharging the battery. The battery gets as low as 81% before charging again. Personally I think this charge / discharge cycle is going to be more harmful long term than just charging to 100% and holding there. So I ended up turning it back off.
Mine gets around 4-5 hours of SOT. I do wish the SOT was better. The screen is dim so I have to up it to about 40% screen brightness which is a bummer because my previous tab s7+ was bright enough around 30%. I am satisfied with it but it doesn't meet expectations or the "ultra" name.
Man do yourself a favour and get either amaron or solite. Both lasted me almost 3 years. You're lucky that AC delco lasted you almost 2 years, the ones I get barely lasts a year, and that's with warranty replacement .
I’m on my 3rd battery since Nov 2021. Every time it has lasted me 1 year and 3-4 months. Not even 2 years.
I don’t have a parasitic drain. I don’t use AC a lot. I don’t jumpstart cars with it. There is no excessive load on it. Yet, they all lasted less than 2 years.
Amaron best, 2nd is solite.
Worst was ac delco. Always gave me 1 year max.
I've had the Tab S9 since launch and the battery has always been naff. It's a great tablet let down by lousy battery life.
