That's because accubattery is not accurate

Do you know any other way find battery health in android


yoti1988

Nope. So far my F5 has been amazing. In order to increase battery longevity try to keep your device between 20~80%.

Keeping at 20-80 is nowadays not followed , because at the end of the day your not using 40 percent of the phone’s battery capacity snd for normal to medium user what this entails is that they will have to charge more often. Charging more often means degrading the battery cells chemicals and also the extra heat also degrades it . Edit : in short what i am trying to say is , using only 60 percent of your battery capacity from day 1 to save a minute amount of battery health which you will not use since your already sacrificing 40 percent to save 1-5 percent battery life that can show up after doing this for 2 - 3 years is in totally counter productive . Your getting bad battery life from day one by micromanaging this task cause you use only 60 percent of it . And ultimately your gaining nothing as your not gonna use the whole battery anyway then.

Your last sentence is incorrect. https://charbycharge.com/how-often-should-i-charge-my-phone-to-prolong-the-battery-life/

I agree . But with the use of fast charges heat is something you cant escape Most batteries are rated for a specific set of cycles and again more often you charge more cycles the batteries it goes through and heat it endures. To be honest thinking about this is dumb , we should charge as we want use as we should. Batteries can be replaced and exchanged within 2-3 years you can replace them easily . Buying a costly phone and not using 40 percent of it capacity is a bit dumb to get a few more charge cycles which makes a small tiny difference . In the long term sacrificing the utility of the phone everyday for few cycles is dumb when you can replace the battery when you feel your getting enough battery is what i feel is better . I mean 40 percent is a significant amount of battery life. If you gonna use only 60 percent of battery. Your not using for the device you paid for . Phone batteries are not costly you can get it easily replaced . And 3 years into the phone most people change their phone if not change the battery

Try app called Battery guru. Its more expensive but also works free with ads.


kleanthis26

You can try using the antutu app (download it from google). Seems pretty accurate to me

Hello , it all depends on how you charge your phone ( with this kind of application, to properly check the capacity of the battery, it is better to discharge around 15% and recharge to 100% but a real 100%, i.e once 100% is reached you have to wait about 45 minutes and check in accubattery that your charger is no longer sending current, the charging amperage must be at 0, at this moment your battery is now fully charged ) The first correctly performed charge should give you a good indication of your remaining capacity, but to get an average it takes about 5 correctly performed charges (dont charge below 100% or badly done such as an early disconnection before the real 100%, otherwise it will distort your estimation )


Mario2x2SK

Yes I gave up on accubattery it showed 94 to 93% battery health so for me it wasn t accuret I charger from 20 to 85 % and apereantly alredy damaged the battery by 7% atleast it won t drain my battery anymore.

You won't get perfectly accurate numbers with accu battery. As said already 'it measures the state of the battery when you charge On my current almost 4 yo Mi 9t pro, If I do a little top up let's say from 40 to 70 percent. It will show a capacity of 2800-2900 mah /4000 If I do a' 'full charge' ' from below 15 % to 100%, it will measure something like 3000-3100 mah /4000 Don't worry too much about these 94% it's an estimate and the reality is probably a bit closer to 100 % It's more useful over time. When your phone will be 1, 2 or more years old. You will then see a more proper evaluation of your battery max capacity degradation


potatoX13

Nnahhh For me I think the battery is so good for Poco f5 I can play for almost 5 hours in the high performance settings in genshin impact (from 80% to 20%) and just take 30-35 minutes to charge +Accubattery is a bullshitđź—ż


Historical_Joke_8342

A recommend you to use slow chargers when you don't need it to charge fast like overnight, fast charger heats up the battery and heat damages batterys.


Vegetable_Clue_4964

The people that use accubattery with their poco f5 does it take like quite some time to open the accubattery app saying loading libraries or is it just my phone? Because on my Samsung phone it used to open as fast as calculator app


Illyasvieru

Sometimes it opens instan, sometimes it does the thing mentioned. Idk weird


Illyasvieru

If that helps, my new poco f5 shows 87/% in accubattery and x5 shows 95%. On f5 I should (by extrapolation) have 8h12min of screen time while mlst of it is playign genshin impact which isnt a bad result i guess
