AIR\u00b3 7.3 and Air\u00b3 7.35 have a battery of 10.000 mAh. This gives AIR\u00b3 a pretty large battery life. So, how many hours does it mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To give a straight quick answer: 10 hours for AIR\u00b3 7.3 and 12 hours for AIR\u00b3 7.35. But, read more details below to better understand the ins and outs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, the battery life can be influenced by many parameters. This means the battery is not a fixed number of hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A first factor that can influence battery life depends on how the battery has been initialized. As explained in this FAQ regarding battery maintenance<\/a>, the battery capacity is optimal when performing 3 full charge and discharge cycles for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a black theme increases by 30% the battery life. Not everybody likes it,… but it uses much less energy. This is why AIR\u00b3 is preconfigured with an hybrid Black theme with white maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main factor that influences the battery life is the brightness level<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the time, when using a smartphone outside, the brightness is set to maximum. Otherwise, information is hardly read. This is the case because the screen brightness is weak on such device. This is not the case for AIR\u00b3. The FAQ related to the best brightness setting<\/a> gives you more details about the link between brightness, readability and battery life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AIR\u00b3 7.35 has a new screen that provides more brightness. In order to compare the devices, they should be compared on the basis of similar readability. In the following test, the AIR\u00b3 7.3 at 80% brightness is roughly equivalent to the AIR\u00b3 7.35 at 30% brightness. With 100% battery to start with, with dynamic brightness disabled to standardise the test, the AIR\u00b3 7.3 has 9 hours of battery life. The AIR\u00b3 7.35 has 14 hours of battery life.<\/p>\n\n\n

CCL, using AIR\u00b3 in the recommended way (correct battery initialisation, dynamic brightness, dark theme), you should get 10 hours of battery life with 7.3 and 12 hours with 7.35. Without taking these recommendations into account, depending on your settings and the way you manage your flight, you should get between 7 and 12 hours of battery life with AIR\u00b3 7.3 and between 6 and 15 hours with AIR\u00b3 7.35. But you will probably be happy with our default settings and adaptive brightness. This will give you more than enough power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
