So I decided to do what the manufacturer recommends when it comes to the battery, you know, charge it fully then discharge it. So I pulled it off the charger at 6am at 100%....moderate to heavy usage all day as I just unwrapped it, went to bed at 76%...so i turned on navigation and opened up a movie on Netflix hoping that would drive the battery down. I woke up at 56%! Myvold note would be dead, but this thing just keeps going! Christmas have mercy, this thing is amazing!

Yea man,Samsung did a phenomenal job this time around with the battery .I came from the i717 and I am so happy about battery life now!!!!
agreed. I was skeptical about the battery life reviews prior to purchasing and with a larger display and faster processor I figured no way any of this could be true. Coming from Galaxy SII that could not make a 6 hour day of use without being tethered to a PC and going out with anything less than a full charge was a recipe for disaster.
I can go a full day browsing and playing music on my Note II and not drain the battery.
Battery life is amazing. I have to really try and kill it to get it dead inside of a day.

It's not too hard to kill the battery on this monster. You can do a few things to really get the battery down, such as actual gaming, watching movies, and a lot of web browsing. Outside of that, it's really difficult to kill this battery under 24 hours. I have had very limited usage on my phone over the holiday. I am up to 77+ hours of battery time and a little over 3 hours of screen-on time and still have 7% battery left! If someone put a gun to my head and asked me to truthfully tell them when's the last time I had a phone other than the Note II, that could last 3 days without a charge, someone better call a really good clean-up crew!
I love the battery life, but I'm thinking about getting an extended battery just for the heck of it.

I too am quite surprised by the battery life offered by the Note II. This thing simply smokes any other phone I've used in terms of how long I can get out of a single charge, it's really impressive. I'm used to plugging my phone in every 6-8 hours on a day of heavy usage even with power saving mode turned on, whereas the Note II seems to be able to go pretty much all day and even then some depending on the usage.
I have the s3, but two of my good friends both have noteII and the first thing they both mentioned to me about the phone is the battery life! After being around one for a full day with much usage, I must agree it is very impressive for such a big screen!

I got 3 hours of streaming music over 3G with 30 minutes of screen time today until i hit 15%.........
Forgot to add, my tbolt with extended battery would take me from NY to Philly using navigation the entire way and streaming music and at the end of 3 hours drive with the screen on I was down to 75%......
It's extremely easy with Juice Defender: Ultimate and the Extended Battery..
GSM, Apex ROM, ORIGINAL 1750mah battery.
1 day 4hours
3hrs 13minutes screen ON time.
I forgot to screen cap the other pic of the huge graph.
This is only on WIFI though during the weekend when I was home all weekend long.
I can't get this high if I was using cell data/wifi during workdays.
Wow. I think I won. I took out the battery and waited 2 days and then I put it back in the phone. I got 2 days and 16 hours out of that.
Try to top that.

Some of us have corporate email, does juice put the device to sleep? I need push email.
I can get 3 days quite easily if im busy and dont get much use out of it.
This state was with about 3 hours screen time.
The main point to take about battery life is that you can make it use all during screen off with Franco kernal and AOKP for example but if your gonna be playing games/watching films the battery will hollow out in no time (notice the 2 big dips on the pic that was while playing GTA3 on full brightness)
So the best you can do is minimise the battery drain when you are not using it. Otherwise its all about screen-on time and a bit to do with how much junk you have running
Setup as detailed in my sig

Stock battery is definitely underwhelming. Though saying that, this is the best phone I have ever used. The fluidity and smothness of Ice Cream Sandwich makes the phone not even feel like an Android almost.
I don't know if you're planning on rooting, but if you are, this is THE phone to get. Tons of different customizations which will make the battery life on the phone go from 6 hours to 19 hrs and higher depending on the amount of use. Hope this helped.
I've had it for about three weeks and had the 3d. The gnex to me has better everything by using both and feels better. I get 8-14 hours depending on my use this is with the GSM model.

I must be in a weird boat because I don't have any problems with battery life like other people. I charge for about 8 hours a night and when I go to plug it in at the end of the day after about 16 hours off the charger I usually have around 40-60% left.
That's "normal" use though. Some texts and emails, some browsing, 30-45 mins of "Words with Friends", maybe some YouTube videos, a couple 5-10 min calls. Even right now after 7 hours off charger I'm at 80% with 26 mins of screen on. And yes, that's stock everything with 4G on and connected (even in the office where it's always going between some and no signal) and Wi-Fi.
If you are the type to use your phone as a gaming/media device like many of the people who complain about battery life, yes, it probably does suck a bit getting 2-4 hours between charges. But that's a lot to ask of such a tiny battery when you are using it non-stop.

Battery is pretty awful compared to my last phone: iPhone 4.
But, the problem is solved if you purchase a couple of more batteries and an external battery charger. I just carry a battery with me and keep one in my backpack.
Only had the phone for a week. I find the battery much better than my previous captivate.
These were taken last night before plugging it in.
I'm very impressed. Not a lot of talk time on my phone during the work week though.

Figured I start a thread specifically for the T-Mobile variant. I will say that I'm pretty pleased with the battery life thus far. I hated having to give up the ease of some functionality just so my Samsung OG Epic 4G could make it through the day. Meaning, turning off bluetooth, live wallpaper, wifi, etc.
I feel like I haven't had to do that even though there is a battery saver mode already. I'm currently sitting at 54% and it's been a day since taking it off the charger.
I currently have all the bells and whistles going. Live wallpaper and facial recognition to unlock. S-Pen detection and the whole 9. Anyhow, just wanted to see what everyone else is getting.
I'd be happy with 6 hours screen on time
i had the galaxy s3 before the note 2 and i have noticed huge battery improvements
I was briefly reading through the manual and saw this:
Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before
charging your device. Repeating this process of a complete
discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage
capacity of any battery.
Pg 15
just thought I'd pass it along. I usually run my battery all the way down and let it die before recharging:

Ditto. My phone ran like a champ on a freshly flashed ROM. Then my phone realized it was born as a Verizon-Nexus mutt and had a psychological breakdown to the point of 1.75 hours of on-screen time the day after.
Twas a sad day
I'm reading my work email over the exchange service account. After upgrde to 4.2 the exchange service process eats my whole battery so I can't tell about any improvement.

When it comes to battery life (in general, though especially true with this newest release), it's crazy how many divergent opinions you get. Some people claim to get amazing battery life (exactly what quantifies for amazing?) and some people claim the battery life is crap. This is just to remind you that unless you have a good way of measuring battery life, your measurements can be plus/minus hour(s). Someone who just leaves their phone on a black screen with no wi-fi and cell may get 10 hours of screen-on time. Someone who is watching videos with cell/wi-fi might only get 2 hours of screen-on time.
In the future, I can make two recommendations:
Always report a complete cycle (from 100% to close to 0%). This is because the battery does not discharge at a constant rate.
Always report screen on time
Average for GNexus in previous builds was 2-4 hours. I've no idea about the plus/minus, but they tend not to be under 2 and over 4 with moderate usage. I think an average of 3-3.5 hours is what most people are happy to report.
And that is really sad because my old atrix used to get over 8 hours on Wi-Fi with over twelve hours of standby time. I wish they would make this phone but with a smaller screen size. The technology used on this phone is not battery efficient at all.

Battery life in sleep mode is worse for me. I am losing 3% an hour with the screen off, I used to lose only 3% total overnight with the screen off not per hour. I tested this over the last 4 hours only waking the tablet up long enough to check the battery level and it has gone down by 3% each time. Nothing has changed with any apps or setting since I upgraded from 4.1.2 to 4.2. I got concerned when I noticed this morning that my battery was over 15% less then when I went to sleep. Anyone else notice this?

I've got to say, battery life is pretty bad with this phone. I bought it brand new yesterday so not sure if it needs to condition itself or not but I came from a LG G2 which has a 3000mah battery, which is slightly smaller than this but battery life was far better. Granted the screen was slightly smaller but still. Is there any Roms that improve battery life but still relatively stock?

Well if that is the case your battery life isn't terrible. 24h with 5h SOT and 24% life isn't bad at all. Its not great but it is far from terrible.

I'm just using the stock ROM, rooted with the Kingo Root app. Installed TWRP and then Faux Kernel (hltetmo-faux123-003u)
Be warned, TWRP did trip the Knox counter to 0x1. I had to install Knox Disabler so it would stop complaining.
I was getting about 24 hours per charge, until remembered about the FauxClock app and enabled the Intelliplug driver and Intellithermal manager. About this time, I also installed Advanced Task Killer after going without it for a few years.
Screen brightness is on auto, WiFi and mobile data are both on constantly. I have not had to make many calls though, so I'm not sure how this may affect battery life...
So far, I haven't noticed any decrease in performance. Right now I've been on battery for 30 hours and I have 45% left.

Because of adjustments... Custom ROM and kernel, Screen is at 35%, gps and all location services off, NFC off, all the phones extras like air gestures multi window etc are off, I use greenify to freeze apps and I have most Google syncs off and I'm only able to achieve this. I know a lady who knows nothing about phones and has everything/feature on the phone turned on with full brightness and gets 15.5 off charge with 5.5 screen on time by the time she's at 30%. I don't get it.
Edit- I should note I made this post while stock. Because I heard phenomenal things about this phones battery and was quite disappointed.

Signal strength and the binning of your CPU could be differentiating factor. Reading into other people's experience too much can lead to disappointment.
