Battery usage.

Just wondering for those that have extra batteries. How many batteries do you go through the day. I'm getting on my 3.5 hours of sot and thinking of getting an extra battery. But I wonder if I may need to have 2 extra ones.

I am getting 5-6 hours screen on time. Battery life will improve over time as the device will optimize everything. I don't plan to get an extra battery until a year later. Fast charge is amazing and fast enough to not need a new battery at the moment. Nice to have a removable battery for the future.

I turn off auto updates, GPS until I need to use it, same for bluetooth, kill any apps I do not use and after about 24 hours I have about 40-45% left. Plus I charge it at that time and the battery has been holding up well. Also if your not using WIFI turn it off ( I turn it off when not home) because it will drain your battery looking for hotspots.

I have found that when changing the second screen to just my signature showing my battery life went up a great deal.I can pull the whole day out of this now.

Reeeeeaally? That's an interesting fix I didn't think of, thanks!

I too get 5-6 hours of OST. Bluetooth, NFC and location always on. I keep the screen brightness at halfway. I'm in love with the battery and the spare charger is fast compared to the S5 battery charger.
