The Pixel 5a Battery Endurance Thread

[PowrDroid]

This is a screenshot of my wife's P5a battery usage, late this afternoon. Her phone has been off the charger for 2 1/2 DAYS!!! Granted she is a light user with only a few apps installed. Still, the battery life is crazy good.

It's great, isn't it?

Here's my battery from last week. I had charged it to 95%, as I usually do, not to 100%. I was still on Android 11 so my screenshot shows the old battery monitoring data layout. BTW, I don't think I like the new battery monitoring data provided in Android 12 compared to Android 11.

Was last off a full charge yesterday morning around 7am

Thought I'd check in now that my phone has been in use for several months and the battery has "settled in". I am absolutely blown away at the battery strength of the Pixel 5a. My average use is a full 2 days; I charge every other day in the mornings. I typically put on about 5.5 to 6.5 hours screen-on time in those 2 days.

The GSam battery app has been tracking my battery usage and it calculates the average usage between charges to be:

Battery Life: 2 days, 6.6 hours
Screen On-time: 7 hours 30 min

Keep in mind the calculations by GSam would be if I had the battery charged to 100% and ran it down to 1%, which I never do. Still, it shows the potential of the battery in the 5a.
