The specs for S tab along with the battery type in it should last but for some reason it is inconsident. Ive had days where Ive turned it off at 90% and turned it back on later in the day at 89% and somedays its gotten as low as 60%...for no apparent reason. So something is odd.
Surely something IS off. As you stated, about a 1% loss after a few hours is normal. It was like that for my xoom and transformer. However, this little piece of tablet is not cooperating. Lol. We need to get to the bottom of this!

Probably be a hell of alot easier if it did it all the time heh. As it is now its a bit of a crap shoot. Had my tablet off now since last night 4am, it was at 84% turned it on and it was 80%. So this was a "good" battery run.

That is good! Did you actually turn it off, or was just the screen off?

Mine can usually go for around 2 days and 15 hours without charge.... i do have wifi policy to never turn off, although we all know that's not stable...if it was, I would probably get just under 2 days ...I have quite a few widgets doing their thing.

Ok, I think i spoke to soon...since my previous post, my wifi policy has actually been behaving as required.... wifi is always on...been the case exactly since my last post. Tablet was 100% when I went to bed.. woke up this morning, it was 81%. Maybe I need to rethink my widget settings.

I am slightly dissappointed at how much drain is still on the battery when in standby w/screen off, but while watching movies or tv shows I am happy, I can get about 4 hours. (havent timed it exactly)

after few days and 4 charging cycles later iam realy suprised
the battery is better than i thought..
keep in mind that every Li-on battery reaches his full capacity at least after 4-5 charging cycles

100 > 0 % normal use with wifi 13hrs 36mins
light using goes up to 2-3 days
AC charging 0 > 100 % 4hrs 4mins
