Battery case is an absolute must for people who are more than light users, especially if they spend most time on LTE

As much as I’m trying to avoid this, you are right. I’m a above average user not a power user but I will need this. I have the iPhone 7 battery case and I know they work. I’m just on a trial period so I haven’t opened it.

I might just update to the 11 pro. Still will have the compact size.

I like having my regular cases but if it’s a must to always have the battery case on then I’m moving to the pro.

Yes I’m around chargers, home, car etc but I never thought I had to worry about battery like this. I get it tho.

SE is nice, only difference is battery and screen and no Face ID. I paid it off but I’m willing to pay the monthly on the 11 pro, we will see.

Battery case should be used for just in cases
 
I think I might have pulled the short stick as I also have issues with the battery of my SE 2020
My main issue is the battery drain overnight - I easily use around 30%. It's connected to wifi, background app update is turned off, no iCloud sync either.
Even went and updated my SIM card with a newer one from my carrier, but this didn't help with the drain issue.
It's strange cause my 4 year old SE felt like it had a better battery life.
There was an iOS update today, so hopefully they addressed the issue there. I will check again for overnight drainage
 
Is battery consumption of 1% every 10 minutes in light usage (facebook, safari) normal for SE 2020.

I also noticed that if I just unplug it from charging and immediately leave it overnight, there’s no drain. But if I’ve been using it before leaving overnight, there’s a drain of about 5-10%.

I’m not going to mention gaming because the drain there is... LOL and quite expected already.

Thats Sound alright. Notice that it’s stay on 100 % for about 10-20 min before going to 99 or 98.

I get flat 4 hours screen on time. No matter what or how I use the phone, 4 hours is max.

But with battery case I get extra 6-7 hours on screen time. So from day to day I get by with just the 4 hours but when needed I can get 11 hours with the case.

There is no way SE will go 10 mins with just 1% drop in battery. Using FB you'll lose 1% every 2-4 mins or so. If you have just removed from the charger, then it needs to drop 5-6% before it reports it as a 1% drop, hence it takes time.
