In everyday life, it is common to check the remaining battery percentage on your cell phone to ensure that the device will last until the end of the day or to know if you will need to run to the socket.
But what about battery health, have you checked it? Just like any other component of your Galaxy, the battery has a useful life and, as time passes and the number of cycles increases, it loses storage capacity.
Today, continuing our list of tips and tutorials, check out below how to check the health of your Samsung Galaxy’s battery.

How to check the health of your Samsung Galaxy battery
Smartphone and tablet batteries, regardless of brand, undergo a chemical process every time they are charged and discharged, and the user’s habits, as well as the natural degradation of the component, give them a certain level of health. This, in other words, reflects the maximum capacity supported by the part.
That is, if your battery has 3,900 mAh and the health is at 80%, for example, this implies that the maximum charge capacity for that battery is 3,120 mAh. So, the 100% indicated by the system no longer represents the value when the device was new, but rather the new 3,120 mAh.
But this is normal, and in fact, you shouldn’t feel a big difference in autonomy as long as the device has a battery health above 70-80%. Because of this, manufacturers and applications usually categorize these levels as within normal limits.
On the Galaxy, as it is an Android device, there are some ways to check the battery health – as we teach in this other tutorial. However, Samsung itself provides a more “official” way to do this check. Check it out below.
How to see your Galaxy’s battery health
Samsung allows the user to view their battery health by installing the ‘Samsung Members’ app. So, before you even continue, make sure the app is installed on your smartphone.
If not, install it from the link below or directly through the Play Store. Once complete, open the app and perform the basic configuration, following the steps described on the screen.
Now that you have completed installing and configuring the app, the steps are very simple. Check out how to check your battery health below:
- On your smartphone, open the “Config.”;
- Now, scroll down the menu and tap on “Device support”;
- Scroll down the menu and tap “Diagnosis”.
- If this option is not appearing for you, make sure once again that Samsung Members is installed on your device.
- In the new menu, tap “Phone diagnostics”;
- A screen with several icons will open within Samsung Members. Tap “Battery status”;
- The new screen will tell you your current battery status and health. In the screenshot below, the status is “Normal” and the health is “Good”.
The “Duration” parameter represents the health of your device’s battery, and it can be “Bom”, “Normal” or “Weak”. As mentioned before, you should only feel a significant difference in the autonomy of your device when the battery reaches values below 70% or “Weak”. Any value above 80% can be considered good or normal.

How to preserve battery health for longer
Due to the degradation of chemical components, lithium batteries tend to lose their capacity over time, but this is a natural process! However, some good habits can extend the useful life of this component.
Whenever possible, avoid using your Galaxy in very hot environments and save the battery from completely discharging, when the device ends up “dying”. Furthermore, do not let your smartphone or tablet charge to 100% and try to keep the battery charge percentage always between 20% and 80%.
On some Samsung devices, the system itself offers options to protect the battery. To learn more about them and how to activate them, check out our other tutorial:
In general, remember: frequent, small refills are better than full refills. Always choose to use original cables and chargers or, at least, certified items, and avoid using the device while it is connected to power.
If you are going to store a device for some time, it is preferable to leave it partially charged rather than fully charged or completely discharged. Even when stopped, lithium batteries age and lose their charging capacity.
