Steps To Check Your Android Smartphone's Battery Health

Lithium-ion batteries that are found on Android smartphones and other electronic devices are not designed to last forever. With consistent usage, the battery's performance is affected over time.

Checking your phone's battery health routinely is a great way to make the most out of your phone, because it doesn't matter if your phone is running the latest Snapdragon processor if there's no battery left to make the most of it.
