How to Know If Your Cell Phone Battery Needs to Be Replaced
Cell phones run on batteries that are rechargedthrough connection to an electrical socket when they are drained of power. Cell
phone batteries are square, flat, installed in the back of the device and
covered by a protective cover. Since cell phones are left on for most of the
day, the battery is in almost constant use. Cell phone batteries do not last
forever and it is important to identify the warning signs that indicate a
battery needs to be replaced.
Step1
Determine the purchase date of the cell phone or theinstallation date of the battery. Cell phone batteries only last between one to
two years, which equates to approximately 300 to 500 charging cycles. If the
phone battery is older than two years, it should be replaced.
Step2
Turn the phone off and place it into the charger or insert thecharger connector into the cell phone. Allow the cell phone to charge for the
amount of time recommended by the manufacturer. The average charging time is
usually between four to six hours.
Step3
Step4
Wait until the phone come on and then check the battery levelicon located on the cell phone's main display panel. If the battery level is
lower than full, it indicates that the battery is not fully charged. This means
that the battery is getting old and the level of charge it holds will continue
to decrease. Replace the battery as soon as possible.
Step5
Use the phone as normal and pay attention to the battery level.
If the phone dies within a few hours, or the battery level drops rapidly, this
is a sign that the battery should be replaced.
