so after 1.5 years of use my Galaxy Tab S2 8" battery is failing ...

* discharging very fast when the screen is on = using it (2 hours of use)
* discharging even when i am charging it (when the screen is on = using it)
* charging at only 10% an hour if phone is completley off
* charging very slowly if the phone is on but screen is off

hmmm is it normal for it to fail after 1.5 years?

so i ordered this battery ... the only one i could find that will make it in time in UK before my trip
