S8+ & AccuBattery: What is your estimated capacity?

[naylor83]

When the S8 & S8+ were released, Samsung made a fairly bold claim that users would have 95% battery capacity left after a year. Being a current Note 4 user looking to upgrade to either the S8+ or the Note 8, I'm curious whether this claim holds any truth.

Thankfully, there is a great tool called AccuBattery which lets users estimate their remaining battery capacity based on charging data from a few charge & discharge cycles.

If you already have AccuBattery installed, I would love to hear what your estimated capacity is. Please vote in the poll and leave a comment.

If you don't have AccuBattery already, I can really recommend it since it seems to be a fairly accurate way of calculating your battery's remaining capacity.

I downloaded the app now, will come back in a couple of days with the results [emoji106]

I have had accubattery installed since I purchased the phone in June.... Started at 103% and is now down to 100%.

Don't really understand how to read the numbers, but here are my results after ca 48h of use.

Mine is at 97% so that's good considering I've had my phone for 7 months now

 

[naylor83]

The health section will give you the estimated capacity, but it needs a few charge & discharge cycles to work it out. In your screenshot it is still blank.

 

[naylor83]

Yes that is pretty impressive! This is all making me feel less concerned about the battery being non-removable.

Mine is at 96% after three charge cycles using the app. The phone is one week old.
Kind of makes me wonder how accurate it is...

Two weeks old, 97%.

This could be due to slight variances in actual battery capacity or slight inaccuracy in AccuBattery's measurements. Hard to know.

After charging 125,972mah I still have 3466mah capacity left.

I do my best to keep the battery in the 30-80 range

It requires quite a few charging cycles to get an "accurate" measurement. I have found that if you keep the app open on the health page the estimated capacity goes up while you watch, so I take the measurements with a grain of salt.

After 5 months of usage.

Had mine since release date and I'm down to 92%. I'm tempted to make Samsung replace the battery tbh!

Had mine since U.S. launch. Using AccuBattery it was at 106 after initial assessment. It is at 103 after 9 months.

Impressive!

Haven't checked on my current S8+, but on my first one which I had from April to September, it was at 3430 mAh right before I sold it, which is 98%.

 

[jordiz86]

I'm at 88% after 6/7 months... I'm very disappointed about this... In one year my battery will be about 2800mah... If so will use the one year warranty on battery to have a new one...

My S8+ is now at 80% capacity. 8 months old and already lost 20% So much for Samsung’s claim of 5% degrade in a year.
Mine has quadrupled that claim in barley over half of a year

That doesn't sound right. I think Samsung will replace the battery for you if it goes below 80%.

How do you usually charge?

My unlocked 955U1 in July 2017, purchased new, was at 97%. It's still at 97% today.
