Seeing some impressive performance here.
I take it you are not a heavy user(someone who has 6+ hours of screen time in one day)? If I were to guess you are probably around 2 hours screen time?Well, I went for it so I am well into Day#2 (I unplugged at 0600hrs on Monday and it is now 1222 hours on Tuesday) - I am at 40% battery. 1 day 6 hours and 18mins.
This fits the formula I posted earlier pretty well. 6.5 hrs of screen time (@ 10%/hr) + 32 hrs up time (@ 1%/hr) = 97 total usage. Pretty close to your 90%. Maybe it's more like 9%/hr for screen time (although I don't think I'm doing quite as well as you with my Turbo)32 hours, 6½ hours of screen time, just hit 10%. Original charge, meh. Following 2 full/discharge cycles were dismal. Happy camper.
It comes with the turbo charger only.. But you can use an older charger or a wireless qi charger...Does the turbo come with a normal charger,if not can a normal charger be used like the one I have from my old Razr maxx.
I had a moto car charger that it didn't recognise, grabbed the other one and it charged. Been charging mine on a 700mah charger. Haven't tried the turbo charger. Yes previous chargers will charge it, albeit slow. 3 hours to drag it up from 5% to 70%Does the turbo come with a normal charger,if not can a normal charger be used like the one I have from my old Razr maxx.
Same here. My older Moto car charger was not recognized. Really needed it as I was at 1%.I had a moto car charger that it didn't recognise, grabbed the other one and it charged.

Not trying to be argumentative, but is it truly going to matter all that much whether they use the stock charging (turbo) cable or a slower charging cable? I mean we all know that our typical smartphone battery goes through a lot in this day and age. Said battery (regardless of charge methods) is going to start losing maximum effectiveness between the first & second year. We've seen this for years now across multiple devices. Being that replacement batteries are only around 20 bucks, (usually a year or so after original release date of your device) so wouldn't it stand to reason that "babying" your battery like this isn't really needed in the grand scheme of things? I just don't see it making that much of an impact in the long run, unless of course you want your battery to last more than two years.....which isn't a concern for most of us who will upgrade within that time.I'm so proud of you all, recognizing the benefit of slow charging to preserve the battery life. It's like you've actually been listening to me. You make me want to cry...
