Yes, a 1% battery drain in 6-7 minutes can be considered normal.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Battery Drain and Screen-On Time: A 1% drain in 6-7 minutes translates to roughly a 10% drain per hour of screen-on time.
-
Context is Key: Whether this is truly "normal" depends on what you're doing with your device. Simple tasks like browsing or reading would typically use less power than gaming or video streaming.
-
Excellent Battery Life: As stated in the reference, a 10% battery drain per hour of screen-on time implies a potential 10 hours of on-screen usage, which is considered great battery life for many devices.
-
Troubleshooting (If Concerned): If you're concerned about battery drain, you can use tools like BetterBatteryStats to investigate kernel wakelocks and partial wakelocks. These tools can help identify apps or processes that are keeping your device awake and consuming power in the background.
In summary, a 1% battery drain in 6-7 minutes is generally considered acceptable, especially if it aligns with approximately 10 hours of screen-on time. If you suspect excessive drain, consider monitoring background activity.
