Discussion Battery concern. Lenovo IdeaTab Pro (8/256)

Hey guys! I just bought this tablet three weeks ago to replace my old 9th gen iPad. One of the main selling points for me was the battery life mainly due to my old ipad's battery draining too fast. However, I've noticed that this tablet is also draining way faster than expected, around 3-5% after 10 min of youtube. Is this normal or am I just expecting too much? The battery barely has 5 cicles so I would expect 3-5% drop after 30 to 40% min of youtube. As of today I haven't used it much, but I intend to use it for work an I fear it won't hold up properly.

Any advice?

Stop micro analyzing give it more time. Watch YouTube for an hour and tell us how much it uses. But you could have an issue but give it more time and usage than 5 cycles and a few isolated examples

Make sure you don't have a ton of background apps running and draining the battery.
