Unfortunately Samsung opted to put a non-removable battery in this model.

Are you still using the original charger and cable that came with your Note? It sounds like you're using a lower capacity power adapter.

the galaxy note 8 has a sealed battery.

the galaxy note 8 has a sealed battery.

i did refresh it though and that seemed to work. to refresh, you fully charge the battery, then let it fully drain twice.

True but it can't come completely off?

Yes it can be removed but it's not a task to be taken lightly since it's not a matter of just popping the back off and loosening some screws, there are those nasty adhesives involved. Some people say just use a hair dryer but that will result in heating up the entire phone since it's not as focused as a heat gun where the heat is more focused.
