One of the types of phones that give users the most headaches, without a doubt, is the battery. You know the importance of good independence, manufacturers increase battery capacity, while introducing solutions to increase energy consumption. In our case, we've explained in some cases how to keep track of billing cycles, how to charge for extending its useful life and how to save energy by optimizing applications in standby.
And that the importance of the battery on a mobile phone does not happen not only because it can be used at the right time, but because, unlike other things, it decreases over time. For that reason, today we will explain the process should be repeated every two or three months: measure your Android phone's battery.
Why do we have to measure the battery periodically?
Percentage of mobile charging is calculated based on a series of algorithms that the system is active and based on battery capacity, charge time and high charge number, which is reached later. If any of them fail, we can get deviations from the calculations and, as a result, have a faulty battery that indicates the wrong percentage.
Therefore, keep the battery rated. twice as beneficial: On the one hand, it's good for us because we will be able to see a reliable percentage of charging and our phone will not be turned off abruptly, on the other hand, it has battery life itself, because it will help us maintain a high charge rate (between 40 and 80%).
In the app stores, you can find alternatives that promise battery repair, however our recommendation is not to trust them, but perform the calibration procedure. As we will see, the simplest procedure is that it should be repeated every two or three months.
How to measure battery on Android phone
Unlike Apple, which is launching a certain iPhone rating system, some Android manufacturers rarely specify battery rating standards for their phones. Here, we will suggest the most common method you can use with any device no matter what kind of product you are:
-
It charges the battery completely– Connect it to the charger and wait until the battery voltage is 100% charged, but do not switch it off as soon as it reaches 100%, please leave it temporarily to be sure decalibration does not affect the upper limit of charge.
-
Remove the battery completely: If you have fully charged it, whether you are using the phone normally or vigorously, disconnect the battery completely until the phone is switched off. Installing applications, games or multimedia content will help you to use power faster.
-
Allow mobile to stand for at least 4 hours: The battery may have a residual charge that prevents it from running out of balance, so that, within hours of rest, the remaining power must be discharged from the battery itself.
-
Reload your phone: Once it has fully downloaded and you have been waiting for at least 4 hours, recharge the cell phone to 100% and wait a while to make sure it is fully charged before turning it on.
-
Turn on mobile again and use it again and again: once you have completed the process, it should be properly calibrated so that you can use it without problems for two or three months.
