Curiosities about the battery of your Galaxy phone

Typically, signs of battery deterioration include drastic decreases in battery life and unexpected blackouts.

Learn about unexpected device shutdowns.

Electrochemical deterioration of the battery

These events occur after repetitive use of the battery, which causes electrochemical deterioration.

High levels of deterioration could cause pronounced and instantaneous voltage drops, resulting in the device being shut down to preserve electrical components.

Temporary shutdown due to usage environment

An extremely cold environment can cause a greater voltage drop.

In this case, the device will shut down to protect its components.

Environment: Battery consumption increases in areas where there is little signal or overlapping signals or when screen brightness is increased in areas with a lot of sunlight or other light source.

Usage pattern: The Galaxy AMOLED display has a high contrast ratio which will increase battery consumption. Increased screen brightness, longer screen timeout intervals, high-performance apps, streaming high-resolution content, and location services or other enabled services also increase battery consumption.
