Its been 2days now that i observe that when i use the tablet with the book cover attached it the battery drains faster, jist today from 40 percent to 28 percent in a span of 30 mins of reading redit. But when i use the tablet with no book cover the battery last longer, i read in this forum a different member is experiencing same issue. For the next couple of days ill test out using a blue tooth keyboard and mouse and compare if the battery drains the same

Hi there, psygorn ! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. It's great that you're actively investigating the issue and trying different setups to see if you can pinpoint the cause of the faster battery drain on your tablet.

Here are a few additional steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the battery drain issue:

  1. Book Cover Compatibility: Ensure that the book cover you're using is designed specifically for the Galaxy Tab  and is not causing any interference with the tablet's sensors or power management.

  2. Review Background Apps: Check if there are any background apps running that might be consuming more power when the book cover is attached. You can access this information in your device's settings under "Battery."

  3. Screen Brightness: Confirm that the screen brightness is not automatically adjusting when you attach the book cover. This could cause the screen to be brighter than necessary, leading to faster battery drain.

  4. Book Cover Settings: Some book covers have specific settings that can be customized through the tablet's settings app. Check if there are any power-related settings for your book cover and adjust them accordingly.

We're here to help, so please keep us updated on your progress. 📱😊

I am experiencing the exact same thing. With the book cover slim, my battery drains by 20% over night. From 60%, I wake up the next day with 40%. When I use a different case, the situation is different. The battery lasts a lot longer.

Update its been a couple of months now and got to say the book cover does drain the tablet faster compared to not using the book cover, when im at home i use a regular bt keyboard and the battery does not drain as fast as with the a book cover, so now when i travel i have a different case i use when i use it as a 2nd monitor, and only use the book cover when im not close to a bt keyboard
