charging cradle

[hichem jerbi]

Hi all,
Well,,after charging my Gear S and the charging cradle to 100%,,I left the cradle on the watch,,and after approximately 8 hours(sleeping time) the cradle is totally discharged.

I made this test twice and the issue is the same. 100% charging cradle gone while the watch is fully charged !!!!!!! let us say that in 8 hours the watch kills maximum 30% of the battery ,so the cradle will compensate the 30% and will not be fully discharged.

can you guys make tests so we can make a better ideas about our gear s

Your math is off. The charging cradle only charges the watch, not supply watch power directly. As such, it needs to convert to a high voltage for charging only. Such design will have considerable power loss. Samsung's own manual suggests that the cradle can only sustain 50% of battery charging before itself is depleted. The size of battery inside the cradle is the same as the one inside the watch. Think of this way, you can't expect to use one AA battery to fully charge another AA re-chargeable battery. This is no exception.

Totally off topic

Watch charge = 100%
Cradle charge = 100%(blue)
After few hours cradle connected to the watch.............
Cradle charge = 0

I do not see what relation between what i said and what you answered !!!!!

You're not seeing the inefficiency of the transfer of energy in your math. That's what he's saying
