Well that’s why your usage is so low. You’re constantly draining the battery with podcasts. Most people who get stellar battery life use their phone for reddit, Instagram, safari and messaging mostly. My guess is your signal stinks and it’s hard for your phone to stay connected to your podcast. Are you usually around 1-2 bars?
probably but also usually on wifi...
 
The best I have managed to squeeze out of my X was 8 hr 10 m usage, 49 hours standby, this was mostly on wifi (30 % LTE). The last 20 % was on low power mode. No music at any point.
On most days of days of heavy usage I hardly get through a day.
 
I have a worse battery life on my x. Average 6.5 hrs of usage (from 100% to ~15%, 70%WiFi/30%LTE). Maximum I can squeeze is around 7hrs where battery % is around 5 or less. 1% (100 to 99%) gives me only around 25 mins of usage. If 80%LTE, usage time will be around 5 hrs+. Use it since Jan 2018, battery health drops to 95%. I only use original iphone adapter and ipad adapter at times. Worse battery ever.

Thanks for the input.

I get about an hour for each 15% of moderate use of LTE and wifi about equal amounts, podcasts or Sirius radio. I noticed a distinct reduction in battery life when 11.4.1 hit and now I just hope when 12 hits that it will be better.
 
Usage in general, regardless of use, your battery section gives you those 3 pieces of info. If you wish to participate just list those 3 things at anytime of day, at random, so we can all compare.

I was just at COSTCO by the way and they have a Samsung wireless charger that has a fan in it, the two I bought dont, I dont think, he thought the one with the fan might be better.

Thanks, for instance right now you could look at your phone and give us that info, unless you have charged it since it was at 100% then obviously the reading wont be accurate.
Samsung also just put out the double device charger , the pad powers up 2 qi enabled devices.

My numbers are very similar to yours on regular days of average to heavy use, despite optimised battery settings. I hope iOS 12 fixes it a little bit, else I will have to get battery replaced by end of this year. Battery health is at 92%, and it has taken just 3 months to go from 98-92%.
