The official Droid Turbo battery life thread.

I take it you are not a heavy user(someone who has 6+ hours of screen time in one day)? If I were to guess you are probably around 2 hours screen time?
Here is my screen. I don't know how to clasify my use, I feel I use my phone a lot (forums, texting, news reading, photos etc,) I just looked, just shy of 3 hours screen time.
Perhaps Average user based on your 6 hour measurement. I guess talking isn't screen time.
I left it on all night too so that is pretty light use (lol) I did that because I assumed they factored that into the 48 hours. "IF" I was in the woods lets say and really needed to save battery, I think this would last a long time in a crunch.

32 hours, 6½ hours of screen time, just hit 10%. Original charge, meh. Following 2 full/discharge cycles were dismal. Happy camper.
This fits the formula I posted earlier pretty well. 6.5 hrs of screen time (@ 10%/hr) + 32 hrs up time (@ 1%/hr) = 97 total usage. Pretty close to your 90%. Maybe it's more like 9%/hr for screen time (although I don't think I'm doing quite as well as you with my Turbo)

It comes with the turbo charger only.. But you can use an older charger or a wireless qi charger...

I had a moto car charger that it didn't recognise, grabbed the other one and it charged. Been charging mine on a 700mah charger. Haven't tried the turbo charger. Yes previous chargers will charge it, albeit slow. 3 hours to drag it up from 5% to 70%
Same here. My older Moto car charger was not recognized. Really needed it as I was at 1%.

Since I've never failed yet to make it through a full day on a charge, I've switched to my Moto X charger for slower overnight charging. No need to force turbo charge it if not necessary. I'll put the turbo charger in my backpack for when I might need a quick charge on the go.

Not trying to be argumentative, but is it truly going to matter all that much whether they use the stock charging (turbo) cable or a slower charging cable? I mean we all know that our typical smartphone battery goes through a lot in this day and age. Said battery (regardless of charge methods) is going to start losing maximum effectiveness between the first & second year. We've seen this for years now across multiple devices. Being that replacement batteries are only around 20 bucks, (usually a year or so after original release date of your device) so wouldn't it stand to reason that "babying" your battery like this isn't really needed in the grand scheme of things? I just don't see it making that much of an impact in the long run, unless of course you want your battery to last more than two years.....which isn't a concern for most of us who will upgrade within that time.
Again, I'm not knocking this practice....just wondering. [emoji3]
