Checking the condition of the battery is a good thing for several reasons. Monitoring the health of the battery helps to extend the life cycle of the battery, and also to detect when the battery should be replaced.
There are many different applications for the battery monitoring needs of Android phones, but Android’s own skills can go a long way.
You can monitor the phone’s power consumption in Settings. Most phones tell you which apps are consuming the most battery, and some handsets also show the battery temperature.
Address Settings > Battery > Battery Usage (Settings > Battery > Battery Usage) tells how the battery has been used since the last time the battery was charged to its full capacity. The same screen also shows which applications are consuming the battery.
At the top of the screen is an icon with three dots. By pressing it, the mobile phone offers the possibility to view the battery consumption by application. Through this, you can also define how much the applications are allowed to consume the battery by choosing the Optimized, Unlimited or Limited power consumption model.
In addition to this, the Android user can also glance at Android’s hidden diagnostics menu, which not only provides phone information, but also usage statistics and information related to the use of the wireless network. A large number of Android phones do not display battery information, but you can always try it.
Open the Calls app and enter the phone number *#*#4636#*#
After this, the phone tries to open the diagnostics screen. However, some phones refuse to let their users access this information.
There are also applications
You can also get more information through different applications. Many phone manufacturers have their own app for this. For example Samsung Members shows not only battery health but also battery capacity. If the battery status flashes red, the battery is at the end of its life and should be replaced.
If the phone manufacturer does not offer such a tool, you can use an application made by a third party.
For example AccuBattery and CPU-Z are free applications found in the Google Play app store that can be used to monitor battery performance accurately. For example, the apps show charge history, battery discharge rates, health ratings, and logbooks of measurements.
