vs
Battery SAMSUNG or Duracell
On my A9+ I turned my display down to 60hz had it since February battery life is excellent.
Pros: battery life excellent
Don't get cheap ones!
Duracell is your only man
Pros: Duracell is best
Cons: Don't get cheap ones
I replaced the OEM battery in my low-mileage 2019 Alltrack S two days ago. (OEM battery was lead-acid 5K0 915 105 D, it was replaced with a Duracell Ultra Platinum SLI47AGM, 600 CCA.)
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: SLI47AGM
Duracell flooded lead acid would be a good choice and around $200.
Pros: good choice
I bought Duracell from Sams club. relatively easy coding with OBD11
Pros: easy coding
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.
Pros: actual battery charge
Cons: charge/discharge cycle
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.
Pros: satisfied with it
Cons: screen brightness, SOT
I just bought a Tab A8 to replace my 6 year old Tab A6 and I am sad that the battery life is worse than the A6.
I used the tablet at night in bed for about 90 minutes to read news and I get 5 or 6 days use before needing a charge. The A8 lasts 2 days.
Cons: worse battery life
I have the same tablet and I can confirm that the battery life is quite bad. I am flabergasted how any who has done a 'review' on it managed to get almost 10 hours of battery.
I did a few battery rundown test with lowest and maximum brightness and I could not get more than 3-4 hours at best watching YouTube videos.
Cons: battery life is bad
Duracell killed 6 pieces of electronics of mine over 10 years. If you paid me, I would not use them.
Cons: killed electronics
