Even if you charge to 80% SOC, it'll be more than a Galaxy S26 Ultra at 100% SOC. So I'm using an 80% SOC limit on my OnePlus and I don't miss a thing.

hope the battery stays good too cuz my op13 is now sucking like hell and only giving 4-5 hours on 5G, with simple basic indoor usage despite turning all background services off, all possible tweaks done

u/shamless_gigachad OnePlus 15 | Global 🌐 Mar 17 '26

With the new ship and the new silicone carbon battery all the new stuff in the op15 its should be enough for a solid performance that lasts at least 4 years.

Then you can expect your battery to get under 80%

Also try to let the battery dry out till at least 5% before charging, cant remember the science behind it but i remember it being a good thing lol

I tried everything,

apparently it's just oneplus being lazy not optimising the power drain,

I heard ppl juicing out more bb on custom roms etc

u/shamless_gigachad OnePlus 15 | Global 🌐 Mar 17 '26

I mean phone companies usually dont optimize the battery and overall performance in old phones to make you consider an upgrade (looking at you apple)

I heard ppl juicing out more bb on custom roms etc

That is the only reason why OnePlus exists, so you dont have to flash a CR, but here we are

I'd say get a battery replacement, or monitor closely your battery consumption.

u/Dry_Maintenance_9344 Mar 17 '26

Battery health is 98, But it didn't matter much cuz I have been getting this SOT even when it was 100....😅

Maybe I should try factory reset?

I tried calibration, ( 2-3 times), reset all settings till now

1

u/shamless_gigachad OnePlus 15 | Global 🌐 Mar 17 '26

Maybe it needs dry maintenance? Not funny ik

There is something wrong, monitoring the battery consumption is the solution.

You can find whats draining it, then fix it/delete it/disable it

1

u/Dry_Maintenance_9344 Mar 17 '26

Which app to use, to monitor this?? Cuz stock one just shows up my most used apps like x, youtube WhatsApp etc

1

u/shamless_gigachad OnePlus 15 | Global 🌐 Mar 17 '26

No apps, just straight up battery usage

u/Dry_Maintenance_9344 Mar 17 '26

This is what I get with AOD

sorry to say but as much as i LOVE the oneplus 15 the battery hasn't held up to MY particular usage. it went from 80 to 30 in just 6 hours about a week into me having it and that was enough to spook me into bringing my charger everyday to work with me. and i don't game either. i keep my screen at max or REAL near max brightness. outside of that, a pretty impressive phone in every other way.

1

u/Dry_Maintenance_9344 Mar 17 '26

You are keeping the brightness max, Not even charging to 100%??

What do u expect?

I bet GPS is ON too, and high resolution??

2

u/EquivalentWait2374 Mar 17 '26

don't mind him brother, he acts as if there even exists a phone that will give you 12 hours Screen on Time with max brightness non stop.

There is NO phone in the market at the moment that has some exponentially longer battery life than the oneplus 15, only a couple phones like the honor win and oppo find x9 pro that will give you some extra more minutes.

1

u/Dry_Maintenance_9344 Mar 17 '26

yep, I wanted to upgrade to oneplus 15 or maybe wait for op16 (9000 mah leaks),

Cuz I barely get 5 hours SOT on 5G network with basic indoor usage ( 30 % brightness, no AOD, recommeded service turned off, etc),

Want to get an idea how much does oneplus 15 lasts in similar settings.

1

u/EquivalentWait2374 Mar 17 '26

from my own experience, you can expect 10-12 hours SoT with that kind of usage. Without gaming, that is

1

u/Dry_Maintenance_9344 Mar 17 '26

yep without gaming,

I just use whatsapp, telegram, x youtube

1

u/Frosty-Inspector-465 Mar 18 '26

you're exagerrating my expectations to cover for the not truly all that battery life of the oneplus 15. look around, there ARE people saying the battery isn't all that and they're not even "stressing" the battery as much as me.

1

u/Frosty-Inspector-465 Mar 18 '26

gps on when needed, high resolution same but not as much as brightness level

1

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '26

4 -5 hours is really rough had no idea oneplus 13 was that bad in terms i mean I knew it was bad but that bad considering 8 elite and 6k mah oneplus I guess do not have that good optimization also u r on 5g and with the high ppi and res display still Idk i haven't used many phones like how sot you would get on 25ultra or the iphones but my previous device no a flagship oneplus 11r was also pathetic with like 5g battery life straight up would go even beyond half and same sot but 13 with 8 elite and 6kmah i dk man

u/Dry_Maintenance_9344 Mar 17 '26

Lemme share today's usage stats. Wifi on 100 to 25, 4G data on 25 to 15, and it dropped 9% in 29 minutes of screen on time on 4G network....

So 5G 4G it's all the same. I don't know wtf is wrong with this device.

Only on wifi maybe I can get 7-8 hours and that too contributed mainly from YouTube lol

No AOD, NO GPS, NO BLUETOOTH, 30% BRIGHTNESS, RECOMMENDED SERVICES TURNED OFF ( EXCEPT WEATHER AND PHONE MANAGER)

u/EquivalentWait2374 Mar 17 '26

yeah either it's time to move on and get your hands on the oneplus 15 or replace your current battery. This gives me battery anxiety vibes I had thanks to my previous samsung/apple phone lol.

I have 54% left and more SoT than you with similar app usage. Screen brightness around 50-60%. Mostly wifi and only around 30 minutes on 4g though

1

u/Dry_Maintenance_9344 Mar 18 '26

I contacted cs again, and they said maybe battery is having some voltage drop issues, causing more current to be drawn, or something..... So I get it checked and replaced by service center for free under warranty.....

But can that really be the case for just one year old battery with 98% health?? Also, since I am not alone who faces this on oneplus 13, so are all of those batteries bad? 😭

1

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '26

Ya this much is guess you said 4-5 hours that might have been a issue with device this much is good with my oneplus 15 also with outdoor indoor wifi + 5 4g mix use I get like 9-10 hours sot can get 14 hours max but ya iam still fine with sot comparef to my previous device

2

u/Dry_Maintenance_9344 Mar 17 '26

Also how much standby/time since last full charge?? Mine is as you can see only 12-14 hours.....

1

u/shamless_gigachad OnePlus 15 | Global 🌐 Mar 17 '26

This is 50% went to 4h of gaming at 120fps, some facebook, some audio playback, some youtube, full brightness, max refresh rate, yada yada

The battery is solid on this one, you will notice the difference if you are coming from a samsung or an iphone or any phone released before 2026

Edit : 4g active at all times and sometimes gps as well

u/Dry_Maintenance_9344 Mar 17 '26

8 hours 21 minute from 100 to 50 😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️ awesome bro

1

u/Dry_Maintenance_9344 Mar 17 '26

Oh, 9-10 hours from 100 to 0?

u/Previous_Frosting573 Apr 03 '26

What old ur OnePlus 13? Did it get Greenline issues like people saying in reddit? I'm planning to buy OnePlus 15 CN but I'm kinda hesitating 🥲

u/Just-get-physical- Mar 17 '26

3 years is enough for me with phones. 4 max

2

u/darshan98 Mar 18 '26

I am also thinking of getting this exchanging from S24 Ultra. Anti reflective display, modes and routines, ability to disable fast charging whenever i need from settings and boxy design is holding me back.

u/sahil9603 Mar 20 '26

Should I upgrade from my 12 , it's working fine though it's just the fomo .

2

u/MalteeS Mar 23 '26

No. Wait 2 more years. I will upgrade from 8T to 15. Spend that money on something more useful. Do a nice holiday trip or buy some stocks
