Before proceeding with any test, check if the battery is swollen, or has leaks and bulges, as these issues are are easy to identity. If all looks good, try calibrating the battery.
What is Calibration?
If you are an Android user, then you must be aware of the OS feature called Battery Stats. It keeps track of the battery capacity, when it is full or empty. When the Battery Stats is corrupted, it displays incorrect data. For example, your phone might turn off even before it reaches zero percent.
Calibrating your Android phone battery means getting the Android OS to correct the information so that it reflects the actual battery levels.
When should you Calibrate your Phone Battery?
When a State of Charge (SOC) mismatch occurs or when your phone gives skeptic remaining times that are unlikely, it is time to calibrate the phone battery.
Calibrating your Phone Battery
After calibration, the battery’s charged percentage will be reset and will be in sync with the absolute charged state. You can then start using the phone normally. Some people suggest repeating the above steps twice to calibrate. It is actually not required; however, the thought may vary among individual experience.
How Often Should You Calibrate Your Battery?
There is no rule that asks you to calibrate the phone battery n number of times. Unless there is a genuine need, you need not calibrate your phone battery. However, two to three times a year is fine but if you continue to face the incorrect percentage issue, have your phone checked at the service center and if required, replace the battery. After all nothing lasts forever. Before winding up, if you think battery calibration increases the battery life, you are wrong. It does not!

At one time not long ago, it would show as high as “7 days, 14 hrs” left. I’ve calibrated the battery as shown here, but it isn’t a problem with calibrating the battery to the phone, it’s calibrating the phone to the battery. Every “solution” I find instructs how to calibrate the battery to the phone. My batteries are both 100% charged, and it says so on the phone. But what was 7 days 14 hrs left on 100% is now 2 days, 18 hrs left on 100%. The same readings on two different but fully charged batteries. Comment * Name * Email * Website
