How many cycles is a phone battery good for?

A phone battery is typically designed to last around 500 to 600 cycles, and a cycle is defined as charging a completely dead battery to 100\% then draining it to zero again.

Are phone batteries deep cycle?

Typical lithium-ion batteries for mobile phones are supposed to retain 80\% of their charge capacity after 300-500 charge/discharge cycles. With most battery degradation occurring during deep discharge/charge cycles, it is actually better to limit the battery discharge during any one cycle before charging it again.

How many years does a deep cycle battery last?

Most deep cycle batteries can last up to six years with proper care and charging (depending on the frequency of use). It’s up to you to make sure that your battery isn’t being damaged by your charging routine.

How long do phone batteries last?

The average phone battery has about 300-500 charge cycles, which is about 16 months of usage (if you charge once per day), depending on how heavily you use your phone and how often it is charged. This is also dependant on the type and the capacity of the battery, and more factors.

What is the power cycle of a smartphone battery?

A cycle is from low power <5\% to 100\%. The number one killer of batteries in smartphones is temperature either extremely low or high. Do not leave your phone in your car during summer if you live in Phoenix and don’t take your phone snowmobiling if you’re in Utah. A power cycle can also be when you deplete 100\% battery in a 24 hour period.

How long does it take for a smartphone battery to charge?

Most Lithium-ion batteries are only rated for 400–500 complete charge cycles (1–1.5 years). Beyond that point, the battery capacity will drop below 80\% and it may take more time to charge as the battery chemistry changes. Some smartphones won’t allow their batteries to charge to their advertised physical capacity to keep degradation in check.

Can I see how many charge cycles my phone has gone through?

There are 3rd party apps like AccuBattery that can keep track of how many charge cycles it went through, but it will not track the very beginning when you first used the phone… it will only begin tracking the charge cycles when you first install the app.. so you will not know how many charge cycles it went through previously.
