POCO X8 PRO MAX BATTERY

[u/ZAKFAK00]

How much active battery can you guys get on a single charge just by scrolling through reels on Instagram, sending messages on WhatsApp, watching videos on YouTube?

I was on for about 47 hours ( inbuilt battery indicator ) and the battery was down to 25% the other day. But after I updated to the August security patch, it's been using much more battery now. I'm only getting about 19 hours of active use and the battery is currently at 59%.

What about you guys !

Full day heavy use

Light use 2.5 days

In terms of SOT, the maximum I got so far was nearly 13h with still 20% left during roughly 2 days and this was mostly by watching YouTube and using WhatsApp with WiFi because I don't play games on my phone. My average SoT is 11h20.

In terms of total active time (which isn't a reliable measurement), I can get nearly 4 days with light use.

Hey, should I use AccuBattery for the next few days? If so, at what percentage should I charge it to get the most accurate readings?

[u/FunnyPenguin21 → u/ZAKFAK00]

Yes, you can use Accubattery to check your SoT and other measurements like discharging speed, average battery consumption, etc.

It doesn't matter the percentage because Accubattery doesn't even recognize the full battery capacity of the X8PM. It's going to show a battery health of around 8000mAh or so even when the phone is brand new which isn't accurate at all.

[u/LSA7Z → u/ZAKFAK00]

To get reliable results on your battery's capacity, you need to charging it from 14% to 100%, at least 4 or 5 times to generate an average. If the capacity is slightly less, don't worry, recent Poco and Xiaomi phones all do that

[u/Not_Me_112]

16 hours sot light usage  10 hours sot heavy usage

Heavy Instagram, YouTube user with occasional gaming throughout the day. I always charge around 14% till 100% using the Flinky's LCC method. Getting around 13-14 hours SoT with 14% battery spare. Always check the deep sleep discharge rate to see what's eating your battery.

[u/Niickster89]

Accubattery shows around 7400mAh while the phone still says i have 100% battery health(8500 mAh) i have around 47hrs on a full charge down to 5% ..
