What to Know About the Battery Percentage on Your Phone
It’s helpful to see a specific number for your battery life rather than a solid green or yellow bar, but there are pros and cons to this. Here’s a quick overview.
The number isn’t always accurate. Sometimes, the number may be higher or lower than the actual value. This inconsistency is particularly true with older phones with batteries that are beginning to age. Don’t rely on that 2% remaining charge being accurate if you’re in a jam.100% doesn’t always mean 100%. Because of how smartphone manufacturers design phones, 100% doesn’t always mean the battery is fully charged. Often phone software charges to the value it feels is most efficient for you while ensuring your battery remains in optimal condition. Obsessing over battery life could make it worse. Constantly turning your phone’s screen on to check the battery life isn’t good for what battery life you have left. It will just gradually run the battery down while stressing you out. Only use the battery percentage as a guide, and don’t worry too much.
