Is your phone running out of battery much faster than before? Do you have to charge it several times a day, or does it switch off for no reason? It might be time to check the condition of your battery.
Over time, a battery naturally loses some of its capacity. Here is 5 signs that it might be starting to wear out.
Your phone used to last the whole day, but now you have to recharge it by early afternoon? A significant drop in battery life is one of the first signs of a worn-out battery.
Does your smartphone show 20% or 30% battery, then suddenly switch off? This can happen when the battery can no longer supply enough power to the phone.
It’s particularly annoying when you’re out and about and need your phone.
A phone may get slightly warm during heavy use or whilst charging. However, if it regularly gets warm whilst you’re using it as normal, this could be a sign that something is wrong.
An ageing battery, in particular, can cause the device to overheat.
Does your battery level drop quickly from 80% to 50%, then to 20% in a very short space of time? Your battery has probably lost a significant amount of its capacity.
Of course, certain apps such as games, GPS or videos can use a lot of power. But if the problem occurs even during normal use, the battery may be to blame.
If the screen starts to lift or the back cover of your phone becomes warped, this could be a sign of a swollen battery.
In this case, Do not continue to use or charge your phone and have it checked by a professional as soon as possible.
