It can not only help you prolong your battery lifetime by setting a charge alarm, but detect battery usage per app and let you know how long it takes to charge your phone to find the fastest charger and USB cable for your device.

Step 5: Tap History to view all the past records of your battery performance.

How do I Know the Battery Needs to be Replaced

Since you can easily learn your battery status from the above ways, you can tell whether your Android battery is in bad condition from several circumstances including the following examples.

1. The battery runs out very fast. This is the most simple and direct way to know that your battery is bad. Usually we can charge our new phone once to last for a couple of days, but after years of use, the battery may need to be recharged multiple times every day.
2. The battery becomes hot easily. If your mobile phone gets hot quite soon after you use it just for a while, it means the battery is damaged and requires replacement.
3. The battery cannot be fully recharged. If you have recharged your Android mobile for hours but it still cannot be charged to 100%, it should be replaced as well.
