Just curious how much battery your note 3 drains overnight. Mine uses about 3% overnight. What about you?

1-2% if that. I do have social media signed in, but always have refresh set to manual. That way it uses less data & battery.

Palm Treo line > Blackberry line > Samsung Galaxy S line > NOW - the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 😊

I see about 2%-3% when I sleep less than 6 hours. Today I slept later because of a head cold, so I noticed about 12% drain (granted someone was blowing up my phone and I slept about 9 hours).

I usually charge BUT....

When I don't.. It drains 1-2 % in 6-7 hours. That's probably due to it sitting on wifi while I sleep and using WiFi calling to stay connected to T-Mobile (the cell radio gets shut off).

I don't because that would keep the battery at high voltage unnecessarily, which reduces the battery's life span.

Not necessarily. Batteries now a days are smart and stop taking charge once full.. It doesn't keep the voltage to it like older batteries... For this very reason :).

I charge it to a 100% before I go to bed and then unplug it. It only drops 2 - 3% over night for me.

Yeah, it doesn't really hurt, I just don't like to charge the phone overnight. Plus I use my phone as an alarm clock, if plugged, I might tug it with the cord, happened on an older phone.

You misunderstood, I was not saying it will be overcharge, I meant it will keep battery at the voltage of 4.1-4.2.

Every 0.1 v drop in battery voltage prolongs its life span by significant amount. Sitting at 4.2 overnight is not good.
