Lithium-ion batteries wear out. After roughly 500 full charge cycles most phone batteries hold around 80% of their original capacity, and that is when everyday problems start.
The warning signs
- Battery health below 80% in Settings
- The phone shuts off with charge still showing
- It drains overnight even when idle
- It gets hot during light use or charging
- Apps feel slow because the phone throttles performance
- It only works while plugged in
- The back or screen is lifting — a swollen battery, stop using it
