I have a few older phones in my collection. I\u2019ve rattled on about how I love each of them for a host of reasons: the Nokia 9 PureView for its quirky camera, the Galaxy Note 9 for its complete feature kit and S Pen, and the P30 Pro, which is somehow still nearly outlasting my Galaxy S24 FE on a single charge during the day. That point got me wondering: if you own an older phone or are only a few months into your latest upgrade, what are your battery health stats?<\/p>\n
Battery life and longevity have become hotter topics in recent months, especially given the various battery woes plaguing older Google Pixel devices<\/a>. Remaining cognizant of your smartphone\u2019s battery health has become a more critical maintenance checklist item, whether you\u2019re rocking an unsupported legacy device or the latest range-topper<\/a>.<\/p>\n Rita El Khoury \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n While my P30 Pro is still pretty reliable battery-wise, it\u2019s no longer the endurance king it once was. According to AccuBattery, it has a battery health of 74% \u2014 that\u2019s not bad for a phone that has put in over 200 charging cycles per year since 2020 with no charging restrictions and pretty strenuous usage cycles, but it\u2019s certainly closer to the end of its usable life than I\u2019d like it to be. As a comparison, my relatively new Galaxy S24 FE has lost just 1% of its capacity since March after around 100 charge cycles \u2014 a much safer range.<\/p>\n So, I\u2019m curious. If you use an older phone or have recently upgraded and have been hooked to your charger more times than you can count, I want to know your device\u2019s battery health percentage.<\/p>\n Here are some more questions:<\/p>\n Let us know your current phone, its battery health percentage, and how long you\u2019ve owned it.

\nDo you actively check your battery health? If so, how?
\nHow are manufacturers\u2019 battery cycle and battery health claims swaying your phone purchasing habits? Do you only care about capacity and charging speed?
\nWhat would you consider a low battery health percentage, and would hitting that number prompt you to upgrade to a new phone or refurbish your existing device?<\/p>\n
