Yup, have to go through a few charging cycles first. Some claim it to be not accurate so I'm actually not very certain about how accurate it is too. Cause regarding 20% in less than half a year seems a bit too much.


Yup but some claim AccuBattery not accurate so I don't really know. Just send it to SC first la if really degraded then change haha.
I charge overnight and heavy twitch & Netflix streaming. So sometimes by noon left 40-50% I'll charge to full again. I don't play games, main usage is YouTube, Twitch & Netflix.

Wow OPO u really take good care of ur phone.
For me I just charge overnight and always charge to 100%. I'm still skeptical that we're in 2018 and smartphones still can't charge to 100% or do overnight charging as it'll 'damage' the battery :/

Well, like I said, as long as there are parts for it, shouldn't be too hard to find someone to switch the thing out if your batteries have worn out too badly.

Though when it comes to "sealed" devices like the OP6 with its water resistance, I'm not so sure about leaving my device under the care of "normal" folks (aka kedai corner Lowyat) for a battery replacement.

Like I know most Samsung SCs do water integrity tests after repairs.

ace-user It's actually entirely dependent on the quality of the cells used IMHO. At least with what I've seen in my own devices.

My old Honor 8 only got through less of a year of overnight charging before going cookoo completely (like going straight to zero from 20% and not even holding 100-20% charge that long).

My replacement unit H8 I configured for 90% max limited charging and its doing pretty fine past a year now (as my backup phone) with none of the "20% sudden death" crap.

Of course, it can just be that particular battery used in my initial H8 though. But I'm planning to use my OP6 for quite a bit so yeah, better safe than sorry (have it setup for 90% max also).

ic...thanks for the info bro...but for me i seldom charger overnight la coz got fast charging everywhere hehe...

i like to start my day with 100%...that is my habit hehe

I start with 90% also most of the time I get 5-6H SOT under normal heavy-ish use so it doesn't actually feel like I'm sacrificing much pun lol.

But yeah, it depends. If 100% top ups when needed and no overnight charging works better for you, why not? Just don't let it drain past 10% (which can be considered as the BAD threshold IMHO) and it should already last longer then a battery left to drain to 0% every time.

i sold my opo the beginning of this year coz the rear camera spoilt and could not be fixed..the battery still hold up very nicely although i bought in june 2014...i always start my day with 100%...give me 5 bro!

heavy usage means?

i can get 7 hours plus with oreo when i bought in July...fb, browsing, whatsapp, calls, non gaming la hehe

on data...not wifi

Battery health greatly depends on many factors, one of it would be your charge cycle. Its not being how long you have used your phone, its rather how many charge cycle the phone went through. If its not affecting your usage much, I dont see a need to get the battery replaced.


There is a gel type substance which is called the 'sealer' which is used to seal your phone once every part including the battery is put back in place. After the sealer dries up and settles on the internals of your phone, technicians will perform a pressure test on the phone to check for leakages. Im pretty sure outside repair shops wont be able to perform the same tests.

Pretty much that, with a lot more browsing then the other stuff AND normally Bluetooth music to my headphones. Though again, 5-6 consistently ler. I do get 7h sometimes also without the streaming but that's not as consistent.

I change phones quite often so I don't really take care of the battery tbh. I overnight charge every phone I have and they all seem to work just fine. Which is why I'm skeptical that in 2018 smartphones are not smart enough to handle overnight charging, seems like a myth to me.

#respect
You've resist so many temptations over the past years haha

I can still get 5 & half hours to 7 hours SOT no problem, 8 hours if I really push it. But more SOT means less standby time.
I realised that my battery started draining a bit faster than before, which is why I downloaded AccuBattery to check the capacity. Since my phone is still under warranty and changing battery is free I don't mind changing it for peace of mind lol

TBH it's 2018 and there's still a lot of conflicting information about the true nature of what is "good" and "bad" about batteries so I can't say I blame you for being unconvinced.

For me, if not for that little Honor 8 battery incident I wouldn't have cared either.

Even more so that you change phones often. On my end I guess I'm more of a buy once use until break in half type of guy so its probably a bit more relevant to try to stretch the cell lifespan like that.

Your battery life sounds normal to me if you could still get 5 1/2 hours to 7 hours SOT. Im not sure if Mihan has this policy of replacing a worn out battery. Samsung does as I have changed my Note 8's battery quite recently but it was a known defect on the Note 8's battery. Never heard of this on the oneplus 6 though.

Yeah. Maybe they would do a free change if they can verify the battery isn't holding the specified voltage range at 100% (or some other funky shiat like my old H8 battery), but otherwise I'm not sure if they do changes based on user-perceived wear without some sort of charge.

Then again, I don't even have a Mihan device so what do I know lol. It would be pretty nice if they DO offer battery exchanges like that TBH.

Haha.. Nola... I bought or change a lot of phones since 2014..i just kept opo as collection actually until this year. Now my main daily drivers are op6 and note 9...with the rest of the phones lying around hehe.. Eg s8 plus, s7 edge, axon 7 etc

Ic.. Op6 optimization is much better than op3 haha...

Ic.. I do take care of my phones although I change or add phones hehe.. I don't overcharge coz fast charging is so convenient nowadays

tbh, the op6 charges so fast i dont even bother charging overnight. just plugin at night for 20 mins while i watch youtube videos, and next day afternoon for another 20 mins at work. never check sot either.. peace of mind

Lol .. he got so many gadget bro.. at least 3...
