Max i got was 1 day 10hrs. So thats roughly around 34 hours. I still had 20% left but since I had to head out to work , I had to put it on charge. Out of 34hrs , 8hrs was without Wifi or 3G connection on. I switch off Wifi and 3G before going to sleep. You might notice in the screenshot there is no Wifi and 3G. I had taken screenshot just after I woke up.
But that was only once. I guess it was the stock build or .36 not sure. Currently I am on .63 for my Lumia 950.
On an average I get around 18 hrs of battery life on the current .63 build. I am not sure if I should expect or not. Because coming from Lumia 820 which had meager 1650 mAh battery , this is an quite an upgrade. I do not panic or worry even my 950 hits 30% or below. I know if I go on battery saver mode I can survive another 3-4 hrs. But I feel 3000 mAh should give me around 24hrs.
As far as my usage pattern is concerned , i charge my phone in the morning to full 100%. Heavy use of whatsapp. Though I am connected to Wifi for approx 9hrs at work. I have dual sim cards inserted and network coverage at my place sucks. So i presume network coverage issue might be draining my battery.
Many have suggested to turn off lot of things to maximize battery life. I have Windows Hello on. I have 4 email accounts which are set to sync every 15mins. Bluetooth is off as i dont use. Wifi and 3G is on most of the time. I dont have that many background apps running. I have just kept the necessary ones like Weather , Whatsapp and other essential MS apps running in background. On call for say around 1 hour daily. Taking photographs , instagram browsing , reading news.
Someone suggested getting new sim card. I think , I will give that a go. Not sure how it will help maximize battery life. Current sim card were originally Micro Sims trimmed down to Nano Sim but i dont see any damage on them.
