I literally don't know anyone who doesn't charge daily (wake up, take it off charger, put it on the charger around 11:30 PM same day), except my dad and me as we use our phones on stand-by and just for calls, and a little bit of messaging. I work from home so I do all my smartphone stuff on my computer, and when I go out I'm with friends, not on my phone. And even then, we tend to charge every 2-3 days.

My LG L5 used to average 2 days before the battery started going crap. I am not an especially heavy user though.

The next OTA (which should pass QA next week) is going to make battery a significantly better, fwiw.

Just for the records: the update 21 indeed improved battery life significantly! I am all happy ;-))

I think it's typical for a good smartphone to have to load it every day. I recharge my S4 at night and then still have to boost it up at work. Mobile data is a power hog.

I've noticed the Moto G can typically go 36-48 hours (or more?) without a charge (depending on how light your use is).

Sometimes I come in and crash without putting it on the charger and realize what I've done the next morning. When that happens, I don't have to worry about immediately charging it even then; usually it still can make it to the end of that day (business hours) without being on a charger. This happens around once a week or so, maybe more sometimes.

I'm on my second Moto G, and this has been true for both, so it's not a one-off thing.

Can you use apt-get install? Thanks!

I use blackberry q5 which gives 16 hours battery. My android counter part gives 20. Battery life is overated and it all depends on the usage. This one only just started.
