AccuBattery for Android will check the battery and increase its service life
Android / / December 19, 2019
AccuBattery reads data from the battery controller and packs them in a visual shell. The app will help you to choose the most optimal charging, compute applications that spend most charge your phone, as well as learn about the current deterioration of the battery.
Development AccuBattery began after a small team of Dutch engineers puzzled as to how to extend the battery life. No, not slow discharge during the day, and make sure that the battery does not lose its capacity after months of continuous operation. The problem is particularly acute in the light of the fact that many of today's smartphones come with a non-removable power supplies.
In search of an answer, developers spent a series of tests and got a couple of important conclusions. First, charge the phone throughout the night - a very bad habit, which, unfortunately, typical of the majority.
According to researchers, the battery loses its capacity during overload. The reason for this are the chemical processes occurring in the battery. Although all smartphones have an internal switch that stops charging when reaching 100%, power continues to ooze out, which affects the resistance to oxidation of certain chemical substances. So, if you still need a full "tank", disconnect the phone from the mains as soon as possible after it is charged at 100%.
Secondly, it is best to charge the battery up to 80%. So its service life can be increased once in two or even four times. In this connection, in AccuBattery built "alarm", which feeds the active signals when the optimum level of charge. It is located in the "Loading".
See "Charging"
At the top of the window is a circle, the green part of which shows the current battery percentage, and the blue - acceptable. The default threshold is 80%, but it can be increased or decreased. Move the slider, and notice how it affected the damage to the battery.
A little further on the reduced forecast for the battery under mixed use, and is switched on and off screen. Estimates are based on the basis of your habits when working with a smartphone in the last seven days.
Finally, scroll more below to learn how to quickly charge your gadget from different power sources. For example, connect the "native" charging, turn off the smartphone for a couple of minutes, and then look in the unit Charge speed. In it are given accurate information about how much time is left until the optimum charge. Repeat steps with another charger or external battery, to compare the speed.
See "Discharge"
This section provides statistics about the battery consumption since the last charging. Go to Battery usage subsection where the series contains the following information:
- What percentage spent at the screen is switched on or off and for how long.
- Which applications spend the largest amount of ampere-hours (mAh).
- How long the phone is in sleep mode and how often it was interrupted.
Then you can see a list of applications that are actively using the battery. The authors AccuBattery emphasize that their measurement method is more accurate than the one that uses the Android system itself.
Sections "Health" and "History"
Section "Health" - a source of pride AccuBattery creators. When connected to a power source app keeps track of how much energy is supplied to the battery, and what percentage this represents of the total charge. From the data obtained calculate the estimated residual capacity. To more accurately determine the current capacity necessary to carry out several long charging cycles.
Comparing the nominal capacity of the battery with a net, you can find out how much it has decreased to such use. In addition to this you will present two charts: the first the reduced wear and tear of every day use, and the second - the level of real capacity as a percentage of the factory.
In the "History" stores information about each charge and discharge. Tap any of them to view the details, if the general information is not enough.
conclusion
AccuBattery - a new app on Google Play, so it is not without a pair of annoying flaws. For example, you can not switch between screens easy flipping and it is impossible to remove the application from the notification bar.
Thus AccuBattery copes with assigned duties: helping to pick the fastest exercise, calculate the most energy-intensive applications and find out how much the battery has become smaller over time, operation.
