Google Pixel 3a - View / Extend Battery Life

Here's how to extend battery life, view charging status / remaining battery and determine what uses the most power on your Pixel 3a / 3a XL.
  • Battery life is measured by standby time and talk time.
    • Standby time is the amount of time the device stays powered on with no voice, data or other usage.
    • Talk time is based on voice usage.
    • Using data such as web browsing, apps or streaming reduces overall talk time.
  • Apps and processes are listed from highest to lowest percentage of power consumption. Review any high or unusual battery drain.
  1. From a Home screen, swipe up to display all apps.
  2. Navigate:
    Settings Settings app icon
    Battery
    .
  3. Tap
    Battery usage
    .

To improve battery life, you can:
  • Disable or uninstall apps (e.g., live wallpapers, etc.) that are consuming too much battery or RAM or aren't being used.
  • Contact the app developer if an app appears to cause excessive battery drain.
  • Adjust brightness to lowest setting.
  • Turn off GPS when not in use.
    If disabled, certain apps or services may not work properly.
  • Turn off vibrate mode if not used.
  • Ensure battery optimizations aren't ignored: make sure accounts (e.g., email, Facebook®, etc.) are selected and optimized as desired.
  • Remove widgets that automatically update.
