I just replaced the battery (old one started to bulge, and wouldn't hold a charge well) on an LG G5 phone.

Evidently the battery has about 2,700 milliamp hours.

Is there a rough estimate I can use for how long a battery of this size should be able to stream audio from
something like accuradio over wifi?

I've charged the battery up to 100%, and I'm seeing how long it takes to discharge while playing music.

Thanks for any suggestions!

My MotoE 3550 mAh battery will lose ~30% with 8 hours of streaming.

My Moto Edge Plus will stream Youtube Music over Bluetooth for over 8 hours without getting below 50% Depending on screen usage, 2020 model I think, maybe 2021 I am not sure.

This is using an FM transmitter in the work vehicle.
