Even if phones are built to last for several years, if they don't take a hit or get wet, some of their components last longer than others. And it is that there is something that cannot be denied, and that is that the passage of time affects each component, only that some suffer it more than others, as is the case of the batteries.
This turns out to be one of the most common concerns among users, since access smartphone health it is not so simple at all. This is the component that suffers the most from the use we make of the terminal. That is why if we let the battery discharge below 20%, its useful life will be reduced, as if we fully recharge it infinitely many times.
Knowing the health of the battery of our device is a simple task, but not all phones are easy to find. Moreover, on some occasions, it is necessary to use an application.
So you can know the status of your smartphone's battery
On Android, you do not have at your disposal the possibility of knowing the health of your battery in the system settings. There are some brands that have it well hidden in the factory menus, such as Xiaomi, which will also show you the charge cycles that you have left. For the other models, there is a generic way to find out, apps.
There are not few compatible applications, but there are not many that turn out to be reliable, either in terms of permissions, as in access to data. Therefore, we recommend an old acquaintance on Android, Ampere.
After having installed this application on your terminal, you just have to open it and it will show you various information on the central screen. Go to the 'Health' section, and here you can check the state of your battery. If the result is not exactly good, you should go change your battery.
A very common question in the face of this problem is whether it is really necessary to change the battery, and the truth is that it is recommended, even if the mobile has not stopped working or there is no risk of it swelling or catching fire.
The problems that you will have to deal with in case of poor battery health are sudden blackouts, even if you have more than 20% battery, a faster discharge than normal and that the mobile is not able to withstand a day. This can be solved with a portable battery, but it would save you more trouble with a battery change.
