Galaxy Battery protection feature in One UI 6.1
Keeping your battery at a full 100% charge for a long time can reduce its lifespan. Learn how to optimise your battery with battery protection features to make it last longer.
Battery protection features
On Galaxy models with One UI 6.1 or later, there are three battery protection features: Basic, Adaptive, and Maximum.
Basic: Whenever your battery is charged to 100%, charging will automatically stop until the battery level drops down to 95% before it starts charging again.
Adaptive: Your device will switch to 'Maximum' mode while you’re asleep and back to 'Basic' mode before you wake up. Your Sleep time is estimated based on your phone usage patterns.
Maximum: Your battery will stop charging when it reaches 80%.
Step 1. Open Settings > Battery.
Step 2. Tap Battery protection.
Step 3. Turn on the switch and select an option.
Note: On models with an operating system below One UI 6.1, the only option to extend the lifespan of your battery is to limit the maximum charge to 85%.
Additional information about Adaptive battery protection
This feature automatically recognises your sleep patterns and charges to 100% an hour before you wake up.
* Adaptive battery protection might not work well if you have irregular sleep patterns.
Note: The battery charging optimisation feature may vary depending on the Galaxy phone model.
