Why your battery drains fast

Fast battery drain can be caused by battery age, background apps, high brightness, poor signal or software issues.

Common causes

  • Battery health is low or the battery is aged.
  • Apps are using battery in the background.
  • Weak signal forces the phone to work harder.
  • Brightness, location and Bluetooth are active for long periods.
  • Charging accessories are poor quality or unstable.

When to replace it

Consider replacement if the phone cannot last a normal day, shuts down unexpectedly, overheats while charging, or battery health is near/below 80%.
