Battery Draining Too Fast? Here’s How to Fix It
If your phone’s battery seems to run out faster than it should, try these tips from our Revibe tech experts for a quick and safe fix.
1. Check Your Battery Health (iOS Only)
Not all Android devices display battery health, so this step is for iPhone users.
Go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health.
Check the percentage next to Maximum Battery Capacity.
80% or above: Your battery is healthy and performing normally.
⚠️ Note: If your battery was replaced outside of Apple, you may see a notification like “Unknown Part” or a Warning Message. This is normal and does not affect your device’s performance.
2. Update Your Software
Keeping your software up to date helps improve battery life and fix bugs.
iOS Devices
Back up your device via iCloud or your computer.
Plug your device into a power source and connect to Wi-Fi.
Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
Install any available updates.
Android Devices
Go to Settings > System > System Update.
Follow the on-screen instructions to update.
3. Tips to Prolong Battery Life
Take Care of Your Battery
Avoid overheating your phone, especially when fully charged.
High temperatures (even outdoors) can drain your battery faster, even if the phone is idle.
Optimize Your Settings
Adjust these settings to save battery:
Shorten auto-lock time so the screen turns off sooner.
Dim the screen or enable auto-brightness.
Turn off sounds, vibrations, and keyboard feedback.
Close or reduce usage of battery-draining apps.
Enable Low Power Mode (iOS) or Power Saving Mode (Android).
Delete apps you no longer use.
Charge Smartly
Don’t always charge to 100% unless necessary.
Avoid letting your battery hit 0% and shut down.
Keep the battery between 20%–80% for optimal health.
Small, frequent charges (20% at a time) are better than one full charge.
General Tips for a Healthy Battery
Always update your apps to the latest versions.
Keep your software updated to maintain optimal battery performance.
