I'm averaging about 2hrs sot per charge. 2nd charge
Really? I've seen many reviews that praise the battery, one said it's hard to kill.

My battery life has been excellent so far. I've owned the phone for 5 days and fully charged it twice and once was a partial 20 minute charge.

I had ~2 hours screen on time last night. This was used mostly for YouTube and some emulation. I plugged it in for the night at 65% or so? You must have an app that is keeping the phone awake when you're not using it.
ive noticed on my UK 2nd gen version that even with all of the battery draining features (data/gps/vibration etc) turned off and "Flight mode" enabled with no sim installed that it's standby time when its mainly sitting dormant seems rather poor compared to my galaxy s3..when comparing both battery stats (my s3 being my main phone connected to a network) my s3 is much more efficient with a leveled decreasing battery graph where as my moto E is like a steep decline...it will go a week between charges if i dont use it where as ive had upto 15 hours on screen time at min brightness with very few apps installed (only bought as a toy,spare) just watching videos..my s3 with stock battery would never get this result it confuses me..on average the moto E loses around 6% per day just standing by while my s3 which is connected and used to text periodically looses about the same..wierd.
I got roughly 5.5hrs of SOT with a poor signal. This is the Verizon variant on Tmobile. It says 7hrs because I started charging while it had 1.5hrs sot, and only charged up to 80%. So these stats were accomplished by using 60% (80-20) of the battery's capacity. Usage consists of opera mini, youtube, short calls, feebly, mixture of LTE/H+, xda app, email, and setting up apps/accounts.
If a root exploit can be found then battery could become much better with greenify and some pesky services disabled. Personally, I'm impressed because I couldn't achieve close to this on a rooted ZF2.

FWIW, kingroot app works. I know some peoples' feelings toward the app - but it did the job.
EDIT - NVM, it doesn't seem to be working on 5.1.
I like the phone's battery. One thing that I'm not sure is a problem with my phone is that I find it to charge really slow with the Motorola Charger, but with my ZTE tablet charger, it charges in about 1,5 hrs. Amperage, maybe? The Motorola charger has 550 mAh, while my tablet has 1500 mAh.
Great battery life

on the XT1528 verizon model the battery life seems to be poor when it was connected to their network. I have dropped the service with them and have been using that phone to play mp3's while we work out the bootlaoder. the battery is preforming much better while playing mp3 most constantly. they seem to be using some resource hogs in their bloatware in my opinion.
My first XT1528 had terrible battery life, but I accidentally bricked it within the first week. My replacement XT1528 has awesome battery life, however. My basis for comparison is my old LG659 (by the end of the day I would average around 25% remaining battery.) The first Moto E would hit 15% in a couple of hours. My current Moto E is typically around 75% by the end of the day now. I'll post a screenshot tonight so there will actually be some usage statistics (sitting at 98% right now.)

Very good standby time. My wife is a very light user and gets 5-7 days between charges.
Mine is not Verizone, no contract whatsoever. and the battery life is just great.
I own this little device for about 2 weeks, and so far my best record is 2d 10h 22 min with 15% left. That is with 4 partial charges while driving using GPS.
It may not be the fastest phone or the best camera around, but battery wise.... ufffff

Just curious what people are getting on their phones. I'm getting about 16-18 hours with Juice Defender with about 10-15% battery left and moderate use (texting, 30 mins games...30 minute call...)
Wondering if any of the Custom Roms out there will extend battery life significantly...Thanks!

I'm easily getting a full day out of it. 8hr shift at work, then getting home and the battery is around 30% on average. Totally fine for me. Also have a 2nd battery just in case it's a busy day.

Yeah I guess I just had higher expectations for the phone..coming from a blackberry that I would charge 2-3/week. I should have expected a significant decrease in battery life due to display, etc.

No high end smart phone these days is going to get multiple days on a charge really. This phone has very good out of the box battery life. Most need a number of early updates to improve the life.
The way phones are now you will never see battery life like you expected. The new standard for me on smart phones is if it makes it through a full work shift then that's good battery life. Some of my past phones I would need to get either an extended battery or have a wall charger in my office. The mofo I can take to work and not plug in until I get into my car and leave.....that's pretty good if you ask me!
Right now 6 hours off the charger with the screen on for just over an hour I am at 78% battery. No calls but texting and some internet. That astounds me for a new phone.
Yeah I guess thats not bad...i was using battery circle but switched to the uot mod....im sitting at 80 after a couple hours....i wanted less widgets on my phone to drain less battery..not sure if it's worked yet

Rooted and unlocked yesterday, took all of the sprint apps off (froze them) and with moderate usage with bluetooth and wifi on (switching between 3g and wifi throughout the day) I've been around 12 hours to this battery and just recently hit 50% via antutu cpu master widget. Battery on nighttime saver mode.

If you've got a normal Razr poll your on-screen times! I got this phone for probably a week now an screen time seem to just touch the 2.5~3 hour margin, what about yours?
I get the same, I was a bit concerned before I got the phone because of the non removable battery, but i'm really happy with battery. It lasts longer than my nexus s

Im in the Uk & i clearly chose the wrong phone. My battery drain is immense as i am a heavy user.
2:15hrs my phone from 100% charge was at 5%. I put it on charge n it took 5hrs to get back to 100% with heavy usage
i usually get 3hr-3hr 50mins screen on time, but i have gotten up to 4hrs 50mins on my razr, but i am using it on simple mobile so edge only and i'm not a heavy data user.
I do not use any battery saving apps, only freeze social crap and stuff like that that loves running in the background eating up your battery (provided that you do not use that social crap, of course).

That's still some crazy results, I've even tried using screen filter throughout the day with brightness set to half of what already seems to be the lowest
For some light web browsing with flash switched to on demand on but really just 2-3 hours at Max :s

I got my RAZR in Feb. It got crappy battery life 2-3 hours of battery life. Im medium to heavy user. Since I've rooted my phone 3 weeks ago. I've removed and BloatFreezer most of the apps that. Run in the background I don't use very often. To say I very happy with my battery life I get 6 to 12 hours now. I can work on my car playing Pandora off my wifi and get about 7 hours of play. I've turned down my screen brightness all the way down. Its hard time see sometimes but I deal with. I'm very happy with this phone can't wait till I get the MAXX
I get two to three and a half, four hours os screen time...
That corresponds to a day and a half
Cheers
It really depends on how it's used, if it's a day that the screen is on most of the time & I'm on wifi I can over 6hr on screen time, but totally time on battery won't be much longer. Then only battery saving things I use is shutting BT, GPS, wifi & data if not being used (wifi & data always has either or on) & I use Lux to auto dim using subzero levels in low light(this is probably what helps the most).

Not sure what my time is, but I must charge daily or risk dead phone at night. Phone idle, Android OS, voice calls, display, cell standby and wifi are usually my highest battery users in that order from most to least, everything else is usually 6% or less. Wish I had bought the Maxx as I hate charging daily! Considering buying the Maxx battery conversion kit if rooting and bloatware removal doesn't help enough with battery life.
I didn't vote since I'm not sure on my actual time.
The first week I had my 920 I was lucky if the battery was at or above 40% by 12 noon. The 920 is my 2nd phone line and I am using it mostly to learn WP8, to surf the web some and listen to a lot of podcasts, usually 6+ hours of them a day. The past 4 days the battery in the 920 is showing insane runtimes. It is currently 11:30pm and it has been off the charger since 8:00am, over 15 hours with overs 8 hours of audio podcast listening. The battery is currently reading 61%. I originally got the impression that LTE was killing the battery, but that is no longer the case.
I have a Share Plan with AT&T with 2 phones, a Galaxy Nexus (GSM model from Play Store) and a Lumia 920. I use my Nexus as my main phone line, to access GMail and Google Reader (a lot of Google Reader feeds). The Nexus has been off the charger the same period of time and is showing 41%.
For me wifi destroys my battery for some reason I get 15 hours with wi-fi on or 28 with it off
Interesting, mine will usually run for 24-30 hours before hitting 15%, including regular usage. 4G gives it a whack but generally I find similar to other phones, if low coverage it chews the battery
Reading all the doom and gloom of 4G LTE on various mobile phones, after my 1st weeks experience, I was expecting similar results going forward. But, after 2 weeks of use, the battery falls in line with the results you mention. And, with that I am not complaining.
same situation here.
It looks like the phone needs some days to warm up and get long lasting.
Also I see that wp8 is heavly optimized for background task in order to not consume a lot of battery eg: my phone lasts more than 2 days with light usage.
I listen to podcast for many hours and it doesnt affect the battery that much, in fact I'm surprised by it because I know audio playing takes a load on the cpu.
Mine.. overnight without charge or using the phone it drained from 100% down to 35%. BS
Two words: Background tasks.
Make sure you don't have unnecessary background tasks running. I have less than 5 and my battery runs more than 2 days easily.
How do you kill or monitor background tasks?
I had really good battery time of 19 hours the first day of installing the new firmware, then I enabled bluetooth again and it drains like crazy. its hit or miss but people seem to think that whatsapp drains battery. I personally would like to disable LTE (its really slow in my area) and just keep bluetooth that seems to give me 12+ hrs of battery.

You can block background tasks for 3rd party apps in Settings->Applications tab->Background tasks. There is no way to monitor these tasks because WP OS doesn't offer any such capability.
Unfortunately there is no easy way to block 1st party apps and if they are misbehaving (like sync something over and over), there is nothing you can do about it.
Turn on Battery Saver can also effectively kill all background tasks. But that's draconian. I still would like my smartphone do something in the background for me.
Don't forget, the biggest battery drain factor could be your cell phone signal. If you keep the phone in a fringe area, the cell radio will drain your battery very quickly while try to maintain communications with cell towers. This is outside the OS and you can't do anything about it.
I had a weird battery drain the day after the last upgrade. No apps running in the background BAR the movie that i had paused.. I lost 80% without using the phone in a 6 hour period (post charging). After a reboot it seems ok. Perhaps i should pause another movie to see if it happens again....
I must say that I have mine 2 days and the battery drains too fast... I dont know what to do .. Maybe because its new ? Some one can help me maybe ?

My battery is pretty inconsistent. MOST of the time it's awesome, and will last like 20-25 hours without needing to charge, but that just makes it especially jarring when every now and then I go to check my phone at 4 in the afternoon and it's at critical, and I have no idea what causes it.
Plus when it does die I have to put it on the charger for like 2 hours before it will let me turn it on.
I found interesting point in the battery life today, if the screen is off, the battery drain is in the range of 3-4% which is good, however, if the screen goes on the battery drops like 15% in just 25 minutes. After thinking I tried to set the screen sensitivity to normal and it solved my problem. I kept the screen on for more than 45 minutes and the battery went down almost 6% only which is good. I still have to test more to give a concrete evidence.

I usually run a battery discharge app Saturday night. Then a full recharge with the phone off. That usually gives me dependable battery life of about 12 hours a day for the entire week. If I forget and not run the discharger I notice it midways into the week when I only get about 8 hours out of it.

after updating my phone to the 1314 update, my battery life got worse.
I went from 14 hours per day to only 8 hours.
thanks nokia -_-
note: I was not experiencing any connectivity issues on my phone.
let's see how many people here actually have NFC on and Auto-Brightness on... lol
I used the sleep app last night after charging to 100%, and then I fell asleep with it on.
I woke up to find the sounds still going, and when I checked my phone worried that I killed the charge, I found it still had 92% left. That's impressive.
I have had the Pixel 6 for a week now and I'm very disappointed. My biggest disappointment is by far the battery life. I can barely get through an 8 hour work day before it dies (Note: this is with zero WiFi use). After 8hrs I'm typically at 10-20% battery or dead. The mobile network standby is slaughtering my battery life. It uses a consistent 25-35% of it everyday. I also seem to have a lot of weird bugs.
-I get occasional system UI crashes
-randomly I'll lose signal where I always have signal and have to turn it off and back on or reboot
-auto rotate I have to frequently shake my phone for it to work
-camera quality seems terrible. My photos are almost always blurry. My OnePlus 7 Pro takes much better pics.
Update: The 8hrs is total battery life not SOT. My SOT is like 3-4hrs average sometimes worse. My phone use also stays in a 6ft area all day. So I'm not like in and out of service. I also make no calls during the day.
Update 2: I've had 5G disabled all day and I've had 3.5hrs SOT and have 45% battery left and it's the end of my work day. I'm happy with that number. Still having weird OS issues like system UI crashes, Spotify pausing randomly and it not working with the Google assistant. So I think I still need to do a factory reset unfortunately.
I am returning it also tomorrow.
I already did factory reset without any result.
Mobile network standby is killing the battery.
30% day and 60% overnight.
I tried everything without success.
Fingerprint Scanner also is terrible.
Bump.
I had big hopes for this phone.
Try clearing system cache.
Try a network reset.
Try safe mode to rule out 3rd party apps.
Try turning off any power management.
Use factory reset for; you did a major firmware update, for malware, damage to hidden users settings by a 3rd party app.
Otherwise the issues are likely to reoccur.
Try to find the root cause(s). Cloud apps can use a lot of power day and night. Trash apps like WhatsApp, FB, etc waste power and abuse privacy.

Damn, what carrier did you buy it from? I'm also disappointed in the performance of the finger print scanner. I was expecting that though and it works if you hold it. So that's not like a deal breaker but all the reviews I watched before purchasing were saying great things about the battery life. Google even advertises it as a 24hr battery life. Which I don't expect but I need to at least get to when I go to bed without charging.

Disabling 5G seems to have actually made my battery life worse. My phone is at 12% after only 8hrs of use..... Usually it's at like 20% after 8hrs.
So on WiFi my battery is amazing. In the past 3hrs with high brightness and over and hour of video and the rest on apps it's only gone down 6% So if the network standby issue can be fixed my battery life would be great.

Is it a joke ? Have 8hr SOT and crying ?!
Don't read too much into the two-hour "battery usage" percentages. They don't have any relationship to how much total energy was used - they only show the relationship to other tasks running during that two hour period.
For example, we can assume that the "Mobile Network Standby" power usage is pretty consistent if you remain in the same physical location and make the same amount of cell phone calls/texts. However the bi-hourly use % will be wildly different depending on how the phone was being used. For example, you are showing 66% Mobile Network Standby when the phone is sitting idle and not being used. That is to be expected because the phone was literally not used at all so there are very few tasks using energy during that period of time. If you compare another time when the phone was being used, the Mobile Network Standby might only account for 22% of battery use during a 2 hour period. The actual energy used for Mobile Network Standby was the same in both cases, but the % changes depending on what other tasks were using energy. It doesn't mean that it used three times the energy when it shows 66% vs when it shows 22%.
You can see this same type of battery usage detail for the last 24 hours by clicking the drop down menu "System usage for past 24 hours" on the initial battery usage screen. This will show a more accurate accounting of how much actual power each app and system process used in the last 24 hours. Unfortunately it is only for 24 hours and not since the last full charge, so it can still be a skewed number because it still doesn't show how much battery power was used, but only what % of total battery use each item accounted for. In other words, you could charge and totally drain the phone 3 times in a day, and the percentages would still look relatively the same vs someone that didn't charge at all during the day.
I suspect you will see your Mobile Network Standby number run about 20-30% when you look at this number.
Plus, your first set of battery use images show the phone using about 55% during an 8 hour period. The second set of images show the phone using about 75% over a 12 hour period. Of course we don't really know what type of use you really had during those times, but that isn't terrible. That shows the phone should last about 16 hours based on your usage.
You are also showing about a 10% decrease in battery life when the phone is setting idle for 8 hours. Honestly this is about normal battery life and you shouldn't complain about it. These phone are going to use a little more than 1% total battery power per hour when they are sitting idle and on cellular (not wifi only). If you are seeing 2-3% battery use per hour while idle, then you should be more concerned.
I have 11h40 SOT with the Pixel 6 and it is more than enough for me.
I loose 8.2%/h with the screen on and 2.7% with the screen off

This is from 93%.
I am taking in best case 4 hours sot.
All the other battery is drained by mobile standby.
I am loosing sometimes 4% with screen of and wifi turned on, when my old redmi note 10 pro loses 0%
I guess i get faulty phone.
But i am done with with pixels.
For those who are using a moto X40 converted to Edge 40 Pro (or even a stock X40/Edge 40 Pro), how's the standby battery drain? Mine is around 1% per hour with dual 4G sims active, and with Peek Display enabled. However I think the standby drain is a bit too high for my liking and checking through the Android battery stats it seems like Mobile Network is taking a good chunk of the battery's power consumption.
I may be overthinking things though as I only had this phone for a couple of days :/
i don't care about battery drain, but i came from a iphone 13 pro max with 100 % of battery health, wich i still own, and this Moto like iphone gives me more than 2 days of battery, i'm not a heavy user, and with wifi at home endurance is better
