I am having the exact same issue as described in the thread: Moto Z Droid Battery Issue. Even with plenty of batter left, even sometimes with 90%+ my phone will display it has zero power and turn off. sometimes no display and then it turns off. I plug it in, turn it on seconds later and the battery percentage is still very high. It is NOT draining the batter but "thinks" it is.
I have factory reset the phone. Within 5-10 minutes of completing this task, phone turned itself off. So, cannot be an App that did not come already installed on the phone.
I have walked through the Troubleshooting self help on this site.
I would like someone at Verizon to resolve this issue with my Moto Z Play Droid, Android 8.0.0.
Phone is 2 years, 3 months old. Started two months ago.
