20%. Is it normal?

I would say it's pretty normal. As the battery consumption is actually depend on what you use your phone for as well.

Since you r heavy YouTube user, so I reckon the battery usage you got is quite normal.

I've checked my battery using battery life app and it shows only 7 to 10% of wear.

Kindly please see my battery usage as per attached. My top usage is clash royale, and other than that just whatsapp and nothing muchz

glad to hear that thumbup.gif
at least have time to fully utilize the battery before doing the replacement  biggrin.gif

Yup, if you do not plan to change phone next year, might as well replace your battery before the promotion ends, and you are good to go for another 2 years at least thumbup.gif

Bro, 1 day means get the phone back the next day right? Not on the same day?

I am told if you go early, the one day basically means you can retrieve your phone on the same day of sending in thumbup.gif

QUOTE(lyc1982 @ Mar 6 2018, 01:36 PM)
is it wise to replace the batt if your phone is only 1yo+ without issues yet ?
*
Yes as battery deteriorates with usage time. So even if it doesn't show any issue yet after almost 2 years of usage, it will gradually show its age in Year 3 onwards, and eventually become "pregnant".

QUOTE(jeff10012003 @ Mar 6 2018, 03:02 PM)
it is wise. you're already utilizing the battery for 1y+ so with the replacement, you get an additional 2+ years battery life.
some more rm129 is quite a bargain, considering it is a genuine battery replacement.
if you change to a a gred battery usually it already costs rm99-rm109 so for me, i would replace it.
*
Yup, not to forget about the phone will maintain its IP67 water resistance rating too when it is replaced by AASP icon_rolleyes.gif
I am skeptical that if the replacement is done by any unauthorized third party service provider, it is hard to say that the phone is still IP67 certified. hmm.gif

if it’s ip7+ also a good idea to get the batt replaced ?

I am using iphone 7+ also and i plan to change it by End of November this year. It is up to you, if you plan to get the rumour iPhone X Plus, then i do not see a point why should you change the battery of your iphone 7+ icon_rolleyes.gif brows.gif

QUOTE(jeff10012003 @ Mar 6 2018, 04:06 PM)
Thanks for reminding that point. Yes a certified sc is a point much more on water proof phones. Previously  I had my xperia z screen replaced by a 3rd party sc, and i regretted it, seriously. I lost the water resistant on that phone and that's the last time for me. Lesson learned. Cheaper doesn't mean it's the same.

Yes, mark your calendar to exchange it before the end of this year to enjoy promotional rate thumbup.gif

BTW, you can use the app "battery life" to check on your battery wear level. Alternatively, iOS 11.3 will soon roll out the feature for user to check for their battery health smile.gif

Hi again,

About this 7+ battery issue, if today I purchase a brand new unit, say from Maxis, do I need to go for battery replacement?

Thanks.

Why would you unless you have too much money to spare? whistling.gif sweat.gif

My phone is only 9 months old but im already sitting at 92% battery wear.. probably because I charge my phone way too often.  sad.gif Just wondering, where is the AASP center to get my battery change?  confused.gif and what is the healthy way to charge my battery? I always plug in when I have the chance.. I just can't stand low battery.
*
I noticed the same as well. I used to charge my phone when it is around 20% and all the way to 100% before i unplug it (no overnight charge though) and my battery health is at 93% after 1 year 3 months of usage.

However, lately when i chose to charge my phone more often, especially during day out/travelling, i will charge at 60% -> 100% or 70%-100%, and realised that the battery health worsen to 90% then 86% doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif

So, i will only charge my phone when it is around 20% and all the way to 100%, in contrary to what the findings of the research out there whistling.gif

How long you have the phone for
Has battery being replaced ?
Has phone got wet or moisture ?
Have u use third party cable or AC or even car adapter ?

The phone has been used from Jan 2017 until now. It is using original batter which comes with the phone and never been replaced. The phone did not get any form of moisture before.

I have been charging my batter using powerbank with original cable, but in the last 6 months have been using Pineng Powerbank 951 (with built in lighting cable) to charge my phone quite often

Guys,for those updates to iOS 11.3, can I ask for your favour to check for me the accuracy of "battery health app" with the built in Apple battery health function ??

See whether is it tally or not ??

P/s im still on iOS 10.3 😅
