Battery Life of the Moto Z Force DROID Edition

Battery is awesome. Even on the day I didn't use the battery mod at all. Very happy.

Same here. I find that it's truly a 35-40 hour battery. Absolutely will get me through even the heaviest of days.

Is it suggested to "cycle" the battery - down to 10%, then charge, then down to 10% again?

Actually just been reading about this. Apparently it's "not" recommended to discharge all the way, except for maybe once a month. I'm having a hard time, at least with the joy of the new device, resisting using the battery all the way, as I just came off an old X¹ that was getting 6 hours on a full charge...so I'm excited to see how far this battery takes me. Averaging around 24-30 hours, albeit I'm on wifi at home and (here in LA) have pretty good 4G most everywhere. With a light day yesterday, but off wifi most of the day, I'm still at 39% remaining after 25 hours.

Having said that, I'm going to adhere to all the blogs I've been reading this morning that say try to keep the phone between 40% and 80% for longer life. Going to charge now!

I don't think it's a huge deal to go before 40% where necessary. It's more that you don't want to deplete the battery entirely where it can be avoided.

I had 4 hours of screen on time yesterday with a total up time of almost 14 hours and still had 20% at the end of the day. It's amazing.

Lately I'm averaging around 22 and 6, but I know others are doing much better than that. Your mileage may vary.

Can you link to what you have been reading? I usually go by battery university but wouldn't mind reading some others.

My battery life has been incredible. Granted I don't use my phone for gaming or anything, but this is still great.

Would you post your app list screen too sometime just to get a sense? I'm on the AC Forum app and it really sucks battery for me.

I picked up the Force again from BB ($100 off, JBL mod) last Friday after my initial purchase a few weeks back. I went back and forth on keeping the 6P but decided to go back to Moto. I hit nearly 5 1/2 sot on Saturday when I plugged it in for the night. Battery seems to be getting better by the day.
