Battery SAMSUNG or Deka

Deka batteries are still good quality. They are somewhat harder to find than other brands.

Fall 2016 Update: I just installed a new battery. It is a Deka Group 47 AGM. Cost was about 135$ at Battery Mart, 20$ more than the standard battery the store offered. It is odd in that the carry handle is square to the battery length. The specs say it weights 37-1/2 lbs. 600 CCA at 0 F. Two minor things: The battery foot flange is not thick enough to match the battery holding channel or the holding clamp. Some sort of wedge needs to be used. There are probably height adapters or spacers sold for that. Second, the hood release cable will need to run on top of the battery corner, unless you slide the battery out toward the radiator more than I want to.

I've been buying Deka batteries for awhile now and they have been great to me as a customer.

I thought it was impressive nonetheless. I know a lot of people were very disappointed by the S6 & S6 Edge's battery life last generation. The S7 & S7 Edge seem to be doing exceptional.

I just ordered a Deka EXT20L, from what ive read everyone loves it. At $87 from Lowes its worth the gamble. Its a sealed AGM battery so it can be mounted anywhere, ill be putting it under the rear seat.

I have personal experience with with both battery technology and the litium ones put the conventional small battery to shame. If I left my car with the small Deka that's in it for a few weeks without starting, or turning off the cut-off switch, the alarm and small draw I have from a wacky door switch would completely drain it.

My current dead battery is a Deka - lasted 3.5 yrs, can't complain.

Mine gets around 4-5 hours of SOT. I do wish the SOT was better. The screen is dim so I have to up it to about 40% screen brightness which is a bummer because my previous tab s7+ was bright enough around 30%. I am satisfied with it but it doesn't meet expectations or the "ultra" name.

I just bought a Tab A8 to replace my 6 year old Tab A6 and I am sad that the battery life is worse than the A6.

I used the tablet at night in bed for about 90 minutes to read news and I get 5 or 6 days use before needing a charge. The A8 lasts 2 days.

I have the same tablet and I can confirm that the battery life is quite bad. I am flabergasted how any who has done a 'review' on it managed to get almost 10 hours of battery.

I did a few battery rundown test with lowest and maximum brightness and I could not get more than 3-4 hours at best watching YouTube videos.
