What to do when your phone or laptop’s battery swells

 When a lithium-ion battery fails, things can quickly deteriorate. If you open your phone and find that the battery has swelled to twice its size, proper care and disposal is critical for your safety and the safety of others.

What is an expanded battery?

When a lithium-ion battery is overheated, overcharged, or fails due to aging, the cells inside the battery can release a flammable electrolyte mixture. This is where the swollen battery effect comes in.

If the swelling is slight, you might just notice that something doesn’t seem right about your device: the back of your smartphone might be slightly deformed, or the trackpad on your laptop might seem a little stiff.

Let’s take a look at how to safely remove and dispose of a swollen battery, and how to prevent a swollen battery before it begins to swell.

How to remove and dispose of a swollen battery

While lithium-ion batteries usually don’t fail catastrophically and hurt anyone, you still need to treat them with the respect they deserve for potentially explosive and burning objects.

Do not charge or use the device

As soon as you notice that the battery is swollen or damaged in any way, you should stop using the device immediately. Turn off the power and do not charge the device. Once the battery reaches the failure point of battery swelling, you have to assume that all safety mechanisms in the battery are offline.

remove the battery

When removing batteries, there is a very important rule: do not further exacerbate the problem by compressing, damaging or damaging the battery case. If you puncture a swollen battery, you’re in a bad position because the compounds inside will react with oxygen and moisture in the air.

If your device is user serviceable and you can easily open the case or service panel to remove the battery, it will prevent the swollen battery from damaging your device, and it will prevent any sharp edges inside the battery compartment from piercing the protective layer around the battery .

Immediately after removing the battery, you should do two things. First, insulate the contacts of the battery with a piece of electrical tape. The last thing you want is to short the terminals. Second, store the battery in a cool, dry place away from flammable materials until you can safely transport it to a disposal facility.

If your device cannot be repaired by the user and you cannot easily remove the battery, you should take the device to a repair location, a professional battery store, or an authorized battery recycler. There you should find someone with the tools/skills to help open your device and remove the damaged battery.

Even if you can’t remove the battery yourself, the same general rule applies: store the entire device in a dry, cool place to minimize further battery degradation and keep it away from any flammable items.

How to prevent battery swelling

You can do this by following the general lifespan of a Li-Ion battery.

keep the battery cool

Lithium-ion batteries hate heat. Don’t leave your laptop in the car on a hot day, don’t leave your phone charging on the kitchen counter in the afternoon sun, or try to keep the battery cool.

When you are not using your device or spare lithium-ion batteries, store them in a cool, dry place in your home.

Replace the old battery

If you notice that your battery is no longer holding a steady charge, then you should consider replacing it. If you used to have a laptop battery that lasted 5 hours and now gets 30 minutes, that’s a good sign that the battery components are deteriorating. Replacing the battery will not only restore you up to hours of battery life, but it will also ensure you don’t use a battery that’s on the verge of failure.

don’t leave it plugged in

You don’t need to constantly charge the battery. This is bad for the battery, it introduces extra heat.

Windows 11 is draining battery – here’s how to fix it

 Is your computer dying too fast? If you’re using Windows 11, there are some tips and tricks, like preventing apps from constantly refreshing in the background or reducing the lock screen timeout, which can help extend your PC’s battery life. Here’s what you need to know!

Prevent apps from refreshing in the background

Apps on your computer run in the background and continue to work even when you’re not actively using them. For example, they can send you notifications when you receive text messages, emails or comments on social media. However, you don’t always need to refresh apps, especially when the battery is low, which is why you can stop them from doing so:

1. Open the Settings app and go to System.

2. Click Power & Battery.

3. Click on now under battery (you must unplug it).

When enabled, certain notifications and background activities will be suspended to help preserve battery life.

There are also some settings you can use to improve battery saver: you can change the battery percentage when battery saver is enabled, and reduce screen brightness when battery saver is in use.

Decrease the refresh rate of the monitor

The refresh rate is how often the image on the screen is refreshed per second: the higher the refresh rate, the smoother the action on the screen. Unfortunately for your battery, a higher refresh rate also means more power. If you don’t need a high refresh rate, you can lower it to help save battery:

1. Open the Settings app and click System.

2. Next, go to Display, then Advanced Display.

3. Finally, change the number displayed next to “Choose a refresh rate.”

Depending on your laptop or desktop, you may see different default refresh rate numbers. If you only have one refresh rate option, unfortunately you can’t lower it.

Also, it’s important to note that if you lower the refresh rate, it will affect your computer’s performance. In some cases, this can make it more difficult to perform routine tasks.

Use a dark background or theme

If your Windows 11 computer has an OLED display, it can take advantage of dark backgrounds or themes to help extend battery life. Unlike older LCD/LED displays, each pixel on an OLED display emits light individually, which means if the background is black, those pixels won’t light up and use battery.

1. Open the Settings app and click Personalize.

2. At the top of the page, select a dark theme.

There are some dark themes to choose from. Each of them dims your background and all the windows and certain apps you can use in Windows 11.

If you already have a personalized dark background, you can go to Settings > Personalization > Colors > choose your mode and choose Dark from the options that appear.

Decrease lock screen timeout

The longer the screen is on, the more energy it uses, which is why you might want to quickly turn it off when you’re away from your computer, whether it’s a few minutes or an hour.

1. Open Settings and go to System.

2. Next, click Power & Battery.

Below Power, you’ll find settings for turning off the display after a certain amount of inactivity. You can change the minutes from whatever default you have to a lower number. However, you should only change the battery power settings for the times when you need to save battery the most.

How to Check Battery Health on Android – How-To

 Battery life is a concern for most people, but what about battery health? This is important for the long-term usability of the phone. Unlike iPhones, Android devices don’t have a super easy way to check this.

So what is battery health? The term “battery life” generally refers to how long a battery can last while being charged. Battery health tells us how bad the battery is. Poor battery health means worse battery performance – discharges faster, gets hotter, etc. So you should know about battery health on your Android!

Check battery health on Android and Samsung Galaxy phones

Samsung, an Android maker, includes a way to check battery health. It does require an app, but it’s likely already on your phone. If you don’t have the Samsung Membership app, you can download it from the Play Store. Proceed as follows:

1. First, let’s swipe down from the top of the screen to reveal the Quick Settings tile. Click the gear icon to open the settings.

2. Next, scroll down and select “Battery and device maintenance”.

3. Under the Additional Care section, select Diagnosis.

4. This will open the Samsung Membership app with a bunch of icons you can check. Click the “Battery Status” icon to continue – if you haven’t already done so, you won’t see a checkmark.

5. Now you will see some information about the battery. The “lifetime” reading refers to the health of the battery. It will be “good”, “normal” or “weak”.

Other ways to check battery health

If you don’t have a Samsung Galaxy device, you can try a method that doesn’t require third-party apps.

This method uses Android’s hidden diagnostics menu, which can be accessed by entering a code into the phone dialer. However, these codes do not work on all devices and mobile networks.

Open the mobile app and enter *#*#4636#*#*. This will open a “Test” menu, which may include a “Battery Information” section. You will see the battery health listed here.

If that doesn’t work, then you need to use a third-party app. Thankfully, the Play Store has an awesome app called AccuBattery.

But unfortunately, you won’t get an answer right away. Because AccuBattery cannot access battery history information. It will only log data since you start the installation. After a few charge/discharge cycles, you’ll be able to see a reading of the battery’s health.

Should I keep my laptop plugged in all the time?

 Should I leave my laptop plugged in and charging when not out and about? What’s best for batteries? This is a tough question, and there is a lot of conflicting advice. Let’s take a look below!

You can’t overcharge your laptop’s battery

It is important to understand how standard Li-Ion and Li-Polymer batteries work in modern devices. There are a lot of myths about batteries out there. There is no way to “overcharge” these batteries. When you reach 100% charge and leave the laptop plugged in, the charger will stop charging the battery. The laptop will run directly from the power cord. After the battery is slightly discharged, the charger will turn on again and turn off the battery. There is no risk of damaging the battery by exceeding its capacity.

All batteries wear out over time

The more you charge the battery, the more it wears out. Different batteries have different ratings, but you can generally expect around 500 full charge cycles.

This doesn’t mean you should avoid discharging your battery. Storing the battery at high power is not good for it. On the other hand, letting the battery drain completely every time you use it sucks. On top of that, high temperatures also drain the battery faster.

In other words, if you’re going to keep your laptop’s battery in a closet somewhere, it’s best to keep it at around 50% charge capacity and make sure the closet is fairly cool. This will prolong the life of the battery.

If possible, remove the battery to avoid heat

If your laptop has a removable battery, you may need to remove the battery from the laptop if you plan to be plugged in for extended periods of time. This will ensure that the battery is not exposed to all the unnecessary heat.

But should I plug it in or not?

It’s not clear which is more bad for the battery. Keeping a battery at 100% capacity shortens its lifespan, but so does running it through repeated discharge and charge cycles. Basically, no matter what you do, your battery will wear out and lose capacity. That’s how batteries work.

Apple used to advise against leaving MacBooks plugged in all the time, but their battery advice page no longer has that advice. Some PC makers say it’s OK to leave a laptop plugged in all the time, while others advise against it for no reason.

Apple used to recommend charging and discharging laptop batteries at least once a month, but it doesn’t do that anymore. If you’re concerned about keeping your laptop plugged in, you may want to charge it once a month to be on the safe side. But whether this will help depends on the device and its battery technology, so there’s really no one-size-fits-all answer.

Discharging and recharging occasionally can help “calibrate” the battery

Giving your laptop an occasional full charge cycle can help calibrate the battery on many laptops. This ensures that the laptop knows exactly how much power it has left and can show you an accurate estimate. In other words, if your battery isn’t properly calibrated, Windows might think you have 20% battery left when it’s actually 0%, and your laptop will shut down without giving you much warning.

This calibration process doesn’t prolong the battery’s life or make it hold more power, it just ensures that the computer gives you an accurate estimate.

Your laptop’s battery won’t last forever, no matter what you do, its capacity will gradually decrease over time. Of course, even if the laptop’s battery capacity drops, you can still keep using it while plugged in.

How to keep your MacBook battery healthy and extend its lifespan

 The latest Apple Silicon MacBook offers incredible all-day battery life in optimal conditions. However, battery health inevitably declines with age, so how do you maintain that performance in the long term? Here are a few things you can do, check them out!

Keep Optimized Charging On

iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks can take advantage of a feature called Optimized Charging to monitor your usage patterns and adjust charging behavior accordingly. The optimal balance point for lithium batteries is between 40% and 80%. Charging to 100% or letting your battery percentage drop too low is considered bad for the battery. A fully charged battery stores a higher voltage, which puts more stress on the battery.

You can find this setting under System Preferences > Battery > Battery. Once your Mac learns your daily habits, it waits for your device to be fully charged so the battery spends less time at 100%.

If you charge your laptop overnight and go to work every day at 8am, your MacBook will wait for the last 20% or so of the top-up. If for some reason you happen to leave an hour early, you may find that your battery is not fully charged. The same applies to iPhone and iPad.

Don’t leave your MacBook plugged in all the time

It’s impossible to “overcharge” a MacBook battery while it’s plugged into a power source. If you keep it plugged in, the battery won’t overheat or damage any other components. The one exception is if you start noticing bulging batteries, a serious problem that can lead to injury.

The aforementioned optimized charging feature can keep your laptop plugged in, but it’s not foolproof. If your laptop never leaves your desk, or your schedule is particularly erratic, macOS may not be able to determine when to delay charging the battery.

That’s why it’s best not to leave the machine on the charger all the time. Ideally, you’ll want to drop the battery down to 40% before charging it to around 80% for best results. This ensures that the battery is not overstressed by the high pressure required to reach 90% or 100%.

Avoid exposing your MacBook to extreme temperatures

Generally speaking, extreme temperatures are bad for your MacBook. Extreme heat is notoriously bad for technology, and researchers have found that extreme cold can crack the metal used in lithium batteries, separating the cathode from the rest of the battery. Storing the cathode at sub-freezing temperatures “caused the battery to lose up to 5% of its capacity after 100 charges compared to batteries stored at higher temperatures.”

The solution is to make sure your laptop isn’t exposed to extreme temperatures. Don’t leave it in the car overnight in winter. MacBooks are not ruggedized laptops and are not designed for extreme weather conditions.

Consider using AlDente Pro to manage charging

If you’re really keen on preserving your MacBook battery for as long as possible, the free app AlDente might be of interest to you. The app allows you to set charging limits so that your MacBook stops falling below maximum capacity at a percentage of your choosing. By default, this is 80%.

The free version only has a charge limiter and discharge mode, allowing the MacBook to run on battery even when plugged in. This allows you to discharge the battery to a “healthier” percentage without removing the power connector.

AlDente only works with macOS Big Sur or later, and works best on most MacBooks produced in 2016 or later. Earlier laptops lost support for some features, but most post-2013 models support the all-important charge limiter feature.

Check your MacBook battery health

If you want to know the state of your battery, you can go to System Preferences > Battery > Battery and click on “Battery Health…”.

To see a more detailed look, including charge cycle counts, click the Apple logo in the upper-left corner of the screen, then click About This Mac, then click System Report on the Overview tab. Scroll down to “Power” and under “Health Information” you should be able to see the battery’s cycle count.

Why my MacBook battery isn’t charging and how to check

 Batteries occupy so much of our lives that they are now everywhere. Whether it’s a watch worn on the wrist or a computer that most people use for their day-to-day work, the battery is always there.

This is because of the amazing benefits of batteries, such as portable power and extended usage, that make everything around us need batteries. However, in addition to all these amazing benefits, there are some problems.

One of the most common problems is that the battery won’t charge. So here we are going to discuss everything you need to know in this regard.

My battery is not charging fast

Small devices such as cell phones can be fully charged in an hour or a few minutes. The same goes for tablets and laptops, which require more free time. However, sometimes things get worse and the fast charging feature may not work properly. Although this can make your life very difficult as these devices take a long time to charge. Here, we’ll discuss some of the reasons and how to deal with it.

What could cause a battery not to charge fast?

If your device supports fast charging and still isn’t fast charging, there is a problem somewhere. Here, we’ll discuss some of the most common problems and how to deal with them:

Charger failure

The first thing to check is the charger. Either you are not using the correct charger or the charger is broken. In both cases, you’ll need to replace the charger to get fast charging

faulty cable

If replacing the charger doesn’t fix the problem, then there’s a problem with the cable, and you can change the charger to fix the problem.

Some problems with your device

There may be some issues with your device, some of which are listed below:

1. Dirty connection ports do not allow proper connection for fast charging.

2. Replacing faulty motherboard components such as controllers may stop the fast charging function.

3. A faulty battery will not charge quickly.

The battery on my MacBook Air is not charging:

Whether you have an older or newer model, there may be issues with not being charged. So if this happens to you, you can do it.

Check the apps you’re using on your MacBook Air.

The first thing you need to check is the apps running on your MacBook Air. This is a laptop that’s not designed for high performance, although it still delivers amazing performance. For performance-demanding and time-consuming tasks, the MacBook Pro is the best choice.

So if you’re using some application that requires a lot of hardware, then it shouldn’t be a problem. Here the laptop is using more power than required for charging, so the charging process is not taking place.

Check charger support.

If no apps are breaking, then you need to check the charger. Does your MacBook Air support a charger? Are there issues such as a faulty charger or a faulty connector?

Try restarting your MacBook.

If the charger is fine, then you can try restarting your MacBook Air, as it will reset the hardware inside. This may help restore charging functionality.

Repairing your MacBook would be the best option.

If the problem persists, then you need to service your MacBook Air because there may be a problem with the ports, the motherboard, or the battery itself.

What you need to know: 4 behaviors that destroy your smartphone battery

 There is a lot of information on what to do with your smartphone battery. We can argue about best practices, but there are some obvious bad things that can quickly ruin a battery. Knowing ahead of time and avoiding these actions will be good for your battery!

It’s inevitable that smartphone batteries will get worse over time. There are systems that slow it down as much as possible, but there are things that speed up the process and even skip right to the end of it. Let’s take a look at what actions will destroy your phone battery!

Use cheap or damaged cables

One of the worst and most dangerous things you can do is use a cheap or incompatible cable on your phone. If you’ve ever heard a story about a phone catching fire, it’s usually a faulty cable. It’s best to stick to charging accessories from the phone manufacturer or a trusted brand. Avoid super cheap accessories that don’t have many reviews. iPhone users can look for the “Made for iPhone” label for safety. All of this also applies to wireless chargers.

run it to zero

Charge cycles are the biggest factor affecting battery life. The constant cycle of charging and discharging slowly degrades the health of the battery. Worse yet, when your phone is constantly looping from 0%. It’s best to keep your phone’s battery as low as possible between 20-80%. Some phones have features to help you do this. Shorter charge cycles are better for the battery, so try not to get it below 20%.

stay plugged in

It’s also going in the opposite direction. Keeping your phone at 100% power all the time is as bad as letting it go to 0%. Charging your phone overnight isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but you shouldn’t charge it more than you need.

When the battery reaches 100%, it will protect itself by stopping charging. However, once it drops back to 99%, it will charge back to 100% again. This little cycle repeats over and over and is bad for the battery.

The good news is that iPhones and some Android phones now feature “adaptive” or “optimized” charging that can reduce those charging cycles overnight. They keep the battery around 80% for most of the night, then finish the last 20% around your usual wake-up time.

subject to extreme heat

Most electronics don’t like heat. This is especially true for batteries, including those in cell phones. Overheating can shorten battery life. That’s another reason why leaving your phone plugged in all the time isn’t great.

Heat can also come from other sources. Play resource-intensive games, leave your phone in a hot car, or let it bask on the beach. All of these things can overheat your phone and damage the battery in the process.

The good news is that you probably don’t have to worry about damaging your smartphone’s battery. Most of this stuff is common sense. Stick with good charging accessories, don’t over-vent or juice, and keep your device at a comfortable temperature. You’ll get the most out of your battery.

Is smartphone fast charging bad for phone batteries?

 Fast charging is a convenient way to top up your phone’s battery, provided your device supports it and you have a charger that can put out the power you need. But will this time-saving method negatively impact battery life? Let’s take a look together!

Fast charging isn’t inherently dangerous to your phone’s battery. A fast charger can’t “overload” the battery because the smartphone will only ask for as much power as the device can handle. This means you can safely use a USB charger that puts out more power at the device’s maximum charging rate.

Smartphone batteries can only use fast charging for a limited time. This is because lithium-ion batteries are charged in three stages: a slow “trickle charge”, a constant-current state where the voltage increases over time, and a final constant-voltage state where the current is slowly reduced to prevent overcharging and damage the battery.

Fast charging can only work in a constant current state, which is why many smartphone manufacturers promote fast charging windows, such as “charge to 50% in 30 minutes” and the like. Once the final constant voltage phase begins, charging resumes at the standard rate.

Fast charging may generate more heat

The faster energy is stored in a lithium-ion battery, the more heat is generated. This means that fast charging generates more heat than standard “slow” charging. This can be a problem because overheating can degrade the performance of Li-ion batteries. Fast charging may shorten the life of the battery compared to using a standard charger.

Most research into the heat generated by fast-charging lithium-ion batteries has focused on electric vehicle batteries, which are much larger than those in smartphones. The results of these studies suggest that certain fast charging methods degrade batteries at a much faster rate than standard charging.

Since extreme temperatures are the enemy of any lithium-ion battery, using the phone in extremely hot or cold environments or exposing the device to full sunlight can also damage the battery.

To get the most out of your battery, reserve fast charging when you need to quickly charge your smartphone. Use the standard charger at other times when you have free time.

Smartphone batteries are replaceable

The cost of replacing a smartphone battery is relatively low compared to the price of a new phone. Many Android devices have easy-to-use user-replaceable batteries, while others can be repaired by the manufacturer or third parties for a modest fee. Batteries degrade over time, even under ideal use. Knowing when the battery needs to be replaced (and how to improve performance) can be helpful.

Reasons and solutions for my computer to freeze soon after running out of power

 Laptop batteries draining at a faster rate can be a problem. Your laptop battery can drain very quickly for many reasons. It could also be because your laptop has some software related issues. If your laptop battery is old, chances are the battery will drain faster and you will need to replace it for better performance. Therefore, you should rule out all causes to find a specific one. Let’s take a look below!

Laptop battery drains fast:

Many people complain that their laptop batteries are draining quickly. This could be due to many reasons. You should check all the reasons for the rapid discharge of the battery.

old battery

The most common reason is that your battery is nearing the end of its life and you need a quick replacement. This is due to the self-discharge phenomenon of the battery, where certain reactions take place with the chemicals present inside the battery. These reactions reduce the amount of stored charge the battery can hold.

overprocessing

If there is too much processing running in the background, it could also be because of a heavier application, such as a heavy game or such files, that drain the battery faster. Too many programs running at the same time can also cause the battery to drain. Sometimes background apps drain battery faster than apps running on the desktop.

system changes

Any short circuit that occurs without your knowledge will also cause the battery to drain faster. You should check the circuit for problems. A worn alternator belt can also be a problem, which is why you should consider it. If there are loose disconnects or broken wires, that’s why you’re draining the battery faster and we should take care of it by replacing the circuit.

advanced options

Some of the advanced options present in the laptop cause its performance to increase, which requires high power. This affects battery life and makes it drain faster.

If your laptop’s screen brightness is high, this could also be the cause of the drained battery. This is a common cause of battery drain if Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are enabled. Turning off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi is recommended if you want to save battery longer.

peripheral equipment

This can also cause your laptop battery to drain faster if there are too many peripherals. Any malfunction of drivers and Windows can also be a problem, which is why you have to refresh Windows and drivers from time to time to avoid such complications.

What if my Mac’s battery is dying soon?

Lately, most people are complaining that their Mac’s battery is dying quickly. This is because of various complications.

Check battery status.

If your Mac notebook battery is draining quickly, you should check the battery status immediately. The Mac’s battery must be the cause of the problem, as laptop (including Mac) batteries have certain complications. You should contact your Mac laptop vendor to investigate the matter for better guidance.

Turn on the battery percentage.

To track your Mac’s battery, it is recommended to turn on the battery percentage. This will give you a clear picture of the hourly battery drain caused by your computer. You can also turn on battery saver as it will stop apps running in the background.

How can I stop my laptop battery from draining so fast?

There are many ways to stop your laptop battery from draining at a faster rate. There are steps you can take to help extend your laptop’s battery life.

Monitor screen brightness and power settings

To keep the battery last longer, the first thing you can do is keep the screen brightness. You should also monitor the power settings in the laptop’s settings options. You can make other power settings that allow you to run an optimized plan on your computer.

Reduce network connections.

You should go to connection settings and look for the number of connections linked to your computer. It is recommended to shield the extra connections as they are one of the reasons why the battery drains faster.

Remove unnecessary programs.

You should look for programs installed on your computer and uninstall programs you no longer need. This will also reduce the number of background apps. Background apps can also stop running if you turn on your computer’s battery saver mode.

Update software.

Software issues can also be the cause of a drained battery. That’s why you must keep your software updated.

Cell Phone Battery Test – Tells you your cell phone battery performance

 Everyone now has at least one cell phone, and some even have more than one to separate work and personal life. No matter what type of phone you own, concerns about your phone’s battery are real. People need these batteries to work for long periods of time, and in fact battery life is an important factor in deciding a phone choice. Mobile phone batteries can be easily tested to measure their capacity and performance. There are many ways to test your phone battery. If you already have a phone and want to know if it has the best battery performance, try the phone battery test app. Let’s take a look together!

Cell Phone Battery Tester

is a very easy way to check your phone battery. However, before trying to understand its performance, it’s a good idea to check our battery health. For Android phones, dial the code “*#*#4636#*#*” to open the hidden menu. It gives you information about your phone’s battery and usage statistics. If there is a problem with your battery, it will show up here. Otherwise, it will indicate that your phone’s battery health is “good.”

To check your iPhone’s battery health, go to Settings and click Battery. Once there, click on Battery Health and a panel will appear that will indicate if your battery is healthy. It shows three main characteristics of the battery, namely its health, maximum capacity and peak performance capability. The Max Capacity feature shows how your battery compares today and when you bought it new. A lower percentage means less battery capacity and less time for the phone to work until it needs to be recharged. In the Peak Performance Capacity section, the overall health of the battery displays a message that the battery is at normal peak performance.

Once you’re sure your battery is running fine, it’s time to check your battery capacity using the app.

Cell Phone Battery Tester App

Using an app to test your phone battery is a very convenient and results-oriented method. There are many apps on the Play Store for android phones and iPhones. Here are some suggestions for reliable cell phone battery testing apps:

The benefits of using a cell phone battery tester app

Installing these apps on your phone can optimize battery performance by up to 25%. These apps are very effective at blocking unwanted pop-ups and ads designed to steal customer information. These apps help find out what’s draining your battery and offer actionable solutions to fix them.

Cell Phone Battery Test Multimeter

A multimeter is a handy little device for measuring various electrical readings. Multimeters are suitable for measuring amperage, voltage, resistance and current continuity within circuits. It has both analog and digital types. This device can be ideal for testing cell phone batteries. These devices have special sensors that allow you to accurately read battery capabilities. The only thing is that you have to check the battery when it is dead or off. Here is a step-by-step guide to performing a cell phone battery test with a multimeter:

Step 1 – Turn off the phone battery and open the case.

Step 2 – With the battery facing down and the terminal facing the multimeter operator.

Step 3 – Read the voltage on the battery and set the multimeter to that voltage.

Step 4 – Identify the positive and negative of the battery.

Step 5 – Hold the 2 probes of the multimeter in your hand and touch one of them with the positive side. While maintaining contact, touch the second probe to the second terminal.

Step 6 – Check the multimeter reading. If it’s close to the voltage set on the device, the battery is charged and working fine.

A multimeter will mostly tell you the battery level. So you can compare the value with the value displayed on the phone screen. If the problem is fast battery drain, the culprit is probably battery chemistry. Chemicals can lose their effectiveness over time, especially with overuse, as the chemicals wear out and battery performance degrades.
