Users are expressing frustration over rapid battery health degradation in Pixel devices, suggesting that Google should address this issue and provide better battery management or support for affected users.
Hi everyone, I’m sharing my extremely frustrating experience with my Pixel 9 battery. After only 170 cycles, my battery health has already dropped to 87%. What makes this even worse is that I have been extremely careful with this device: * I strictly followed the 20-80% charging rule. * The phone was never discharged below 10%. * I constantly monitored temperatures and never let it go above 35°C (95°F). Despite all this "battery babysitting," the degradation is worse than on any iPhone or Samsung I’ve ever owned (which usually stay at 99-100% at this stage). Google Support’s response? They told me it’s "normal wear and tear" and asked for $130 to fix it because my warranty expired just 3 weeks ago. How is it possible that Google advertises 1000 cycles for 80% health, yet my unit is failing at 170? This is clearly a defective battery batch, and it’s disappointing that a premium flagship is treated like a budget disposable phone by support. Has anyone else seen such rapid drops on their Pixels? Any advice on how to get Google to take responsibility for a clear manufacturing defect? \#GooglePixel #BatteryHealth #Pixel10 #Pixel9 #BadCustomerService
