The battery might be on it's way out of life. Had a Toshiba laptop behave the same way.

Sorry for being the bearer of bad news. I believe I remember the first Nexus 7 tablet with Nvidia's Tegra I had started behaving the same way.

How often did it happen once it started?

50% then the laptop would go dead every time. Nexus 7 as soon as it got down to 20/25% dead.

I forgot about the only smartphone I wore out, and LG Optimus G. The battery on the smartphone started having shorter battery life to point it started to drop in large percentages. Nothing CPU/GPU intensive was running in the background.

Is it a 6P ?

You can likely replace the battery anyway... if you brave the scores of torx screws and tiny ribbon cables. I'm sure there's a how-to/teardown somewhere for it.

Have you tried from this thread ([SOLUTION] Phone shutting down with battery not empty) at XDA forums:

1) Power off your phone.
2) Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons. This will put the phone in fastboot.
3) Use the Volume buttons to scroll through the menu until you see "Bootloader logs"
4) Press and hold the power key for a long time (7+ seconds) until the phone reboots.
5) On boot, fully charge the battery

remixedcat · Aug 16, 2019

will give that a try if it happens again. thanks

FreedomEclipse · Aug 16, 2019

I had this when i ran the batteries in some old phones completely ragged. They would suddenly die even if the phone showed it had 30%+ charge

remixedcat · Aug 17, 2019

well it did it again.. seems to be around the 44% mark. might be time to get a new phone... ugh..

R-T-B · Aug 17, 2019

dead battery yep. Early motorolas post-lenovo buyout are infamous for this.

The first gen moto-z has similar issues, as an example.

remixedcat · Aug 17, 2019

Bought this since I allready had gift balance. I hope it's legit. Might break down and do it when it gets here. a little nervous but I will use ifixit's guide.. I would have bought the batt and tools from them but it would add about 15 to the price with buying them all seperate.

If you're gonna break down and replace it, the genuine batt is the way to go. Looks like you knew that. Good luck.

Word of advice: moto is fond of adhesive on the batteries. Be careful on the removal to ensure it is drained, as otherwise the battery doesn't tend to bend at all without doing bad li-ion things. Heat helps if adhesive is there.

remixedcat · Aug 17, 2019

I got a hair dryer for that.. Hope it's good enough

tabascosauz · Aug 17, 2019

Apparently, with the Li-Ion batteries in our phones and electronics, fully discharging is bad for the device as it counts as one charging cycle when you bring it back up to 100. My Moto Defy, HTC Desire, and GS5 (though that one actually had its NAND tank after many years so that's a different problend) were fine as I used them all the time without relegating them to a secondary device, but my 6S, 6S Plus and Nexus 5 all had these sudden percentage drop problems. The 6S Plus would discharge exponentially faster between 0-30% and the 6S and Nexus straight up would just instantly lose that charge.

I don't know how your habits usually are with charging devices but I think you're doing the right thing here with a new genuine battery and maybe keeping it at as high charge as you can.

remixedcat · Aug 17, 2019

I just hope stuff don't derp up when I'm doing it I'd hate to be out a phone for days... specially since SHTF a lot lately...

IINexusII · Aug 17, 2019

Ah good old Nexus 6, remember mine very well.

Use the teardown here, doesnt look too bad to get to https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+6+Teardown/32877

R-T-B · Aug 17, 2019

Ah, looks like very little to no battery adhesive! Good! Motorola did one kinda easy to work on, then.

remixedcat · Aug 17, 2019

Nice. BC it's sticky enough as it is with the humidity here in wv. lol

After replacing the battery the stats are weird

Is there a recalibrate step being missed by just replacing the battery?
