I thought I left my tablet at 50 % battery,and I really haven't used it for like many months,probably around 3-4 months.
Earlier I wanted to check the tablet and found out that battery was 0 %.
Now I know that is bad for battery,but now I feel sad. :-[
I thought I left my "boy" to 50 % capacity,but dunno what happened,probably I left it at 15 % last time and battery depleted.
So now I'm wondering any serious consequences to battery,because it was at 0% for God knows how long.
I will check the SOT today when I charge it,and will report back.
I know I had around 10 h of SOT.
 
It's possible to damage a battery leaving it dead long term but not guaranteed. If it powered on and holds a charge it should be fine.
 
Sometimes they don't wake up from deep sleep like that at 0% for long periods
See what happens
 
Luckly I did install AccuBattery and last time the tablet was used is back in January (lucky me).
I thought it was longer period.
Here is the SOT,which I suppose ain't that bad.
Only battery health reported by AB lost like 3 % from 98% to 95%.

So what do you guys think?
SOT was like 25 % lost of battery watching 3h 1080p youtube videos at medium brightness though with POWER SAVING ON.
 
Yep hope so.Probably I left last time tablet ON and it discharge the bat to 0 %.
Though Accubattery reported health previously to 101 % which I don't think was true.
I lost few % but that s about it.
Hope that it won't drain the battery when I should it down,othwerwise the battery is gone then :/.
Will report back.
 
Ok.
I used the tablet for 3 days watching yt 1080p video at lower then medium brightness with power saving mode ON.
I charged the tablet before this to 70 % and discharge to 15 %.In total got 394 minutes of SOT.
99% of time used for watching 1080p video.
I guess ain't bad,huh?
Here is screenshot from AccuBattery.

Looks fine to me! If you plan to keep the device in storage again, just set some reminders to power it back on maybe every 6 months to check the battery level.
