Samsung Tablet

Hi folks,

Can anyone give some advice as to why my Samsung Tablet is running out of power so fast.

When I went to bed it had 60% and when I got up there was no power in it.

@bonnie44: Please can you confirm the model number of your tablet, located in Settings > About tablet? 

If you head to Settings > Battery (or Battery and Device care > Battery, depending on your Android version) > Tap on your usage graph, then check the details of your usage at the bottom of the screen, do any apps or features stand out as using a higher than expected amount of battery?

This is to do with the update, my S10 Ultra tabs battery don't last as long as it did, but I think I'll need to do what I did on my ZF6, clear the cache and hope it works.
I must say though, even though I followed the procedures to clear the cache on my ZF6, the battery still isn't the same before the new update.
Don't get me wrong I love the new update on my tablet, phone and watch Ultra, but I don't like the battery consumption, the only device(s) which are still good for battery life are my watch Ultra and Buds pro 3
Check out some YouTube videos on how to clear the cache on your tablet 🙏

Can you not just go into Settings to clear the cache

Hi Andrew, it's a Samsung Galaxy Tab A8/ Model Name SM-X200. The last update was February 2025 and it was successful.

Is not the same

If your tablets battery is draining even while seemingly idle, it means there's likely a battery leeching app running in the background. Culprits of these tend to be social media apps like Facebook and Instagram. On my Tab S8 Ultra, the battery life is terrible with active usage, but even in idle it lasts nearly 3 days. The OneUI 7 update has been excellent for battery life and performance on my tablet.
