Nexus 5 battery life. First full charge

JonM1988 · Nov 4, 2013

So these are my results from 100% down to around 4% today. Just thought I'd stick them up for the people wondering about battery life!

Pretty impressive. Purely stock?

Thanks for posting. Mind to keep it in of the already existing threads on battery life? Not being a jerk. It's just people like me are already following those threads and may miss your post.

so screen was on for 61% of the time and drained 40% of the 96% you used, not bad.

Only first charge it's gonna get lot better. 6 hour on screen time confirmed

Why is the font so big? I hope you made it like that and that isn't the smallest it will go.

JonM1988 · Nov 4, 2013

Yeah I have large font turned on

This the the 'normal' font size.

You can make it smaller too if you wanted.

For the first charge out of the box, should you charge the device on or off? Cheers

Jon, these are pretty sweet results, may i ask, how did you charge it the first time? Did you use it straight out of the box or charge it first?
Edit: or as above says xD

Always charge it fully, never off!

For the first time you might want to charge it for at least 6 to 8 hours

OK. Will do, cheers. But I'm getting contrasting responses from other threads saying it doesn't matter as the battery is Lithium-ion and that the old type batteries are the ones that really require to be fully charged before use.

People really should stop spreading that full initial charge BS seriously, it's 2013!
Unless you buying an electric power drill with a nickel cadmium or nickel metal-hydride battery, there's NO reason to top it off before using it or to charge for 8 hours! You're not prolonging the life of your battery nor are you preventing a memory effect by fully charging it.

Kawaisa is right!

The battery technology used in these now does NOT need special first charge procedure. Just charge it however you want, and enjoy the phone!
