is my s5 battery life ok?

[BR34KF4ST]

Usually with medium use i might not even get to a full day usually it reaches maybe 15 hours then it will maybe be at 30% and screen on time would be 3 hours(average)so is this bad?

Including wifi and mobile data off sometimes battery will just drop for nothing

Running the battery down to 30% regularly is not okay. You should be recharging at the 50% point for maximum battery life. 40% is okay if you must, but try to catch it before that. If you need more time between charges than that, carry a charged spare battery and exchange them when the one in the phone gets down to 50%. (Properly batteries last for years, improperly cared for batteries can die in 6 months.)

You can run your battery lower than 50%. You will be charging it to much if you plug it in all the time. You can always buy a brand new battery after a year for around $10. 15 hours at 30% seems good. You could always improve the battery life by turning your screen brightness down.

I also heard some people that can hold their battery up to 2-3 days on a single charge with 4 hrs of screen time

$10 battery is not worth the hassle to try and charge it at 50%

15 hours seems about right. That's about what I get. I have my screen on auto dim and don't do anything extra to the phone anymore. I use it it medium to heavy. If i use it heavy I will get less than 15 hours.
