The OEM
battery in my 2008 Jetta SE 2.5 L has been nearly fully discharged one
month back (had insufficient surface charge after a prolonged use
without the engine running, but leaving it idle for 20 minutes made the car start again), then worked fine for a few days afterwards (but
without being subjected to much charge), but then was discharged again after only a quarter
of the prior abuse (since it was probably not fully charged since the prior discharge, me underestimating the driving time it would take to bring the
battery back to fuller
life, plus possibly missing out on water, as I found out later).
Steel Series rates the
battery life at 40 hours
of use on a charge; while we haven't done formal
battery testing, we regularly go a couple
of months without having to charge the Nimbus.
As noted, you can likely find a Galaxy S8 for $ 700 or so — sometimes less, if you find a sale price — and that
months - old phone offers the same processor and edge - to - edge screen you'll get with the Note
without too much
of a
battery life sacrifice.
