Battery health

This is the number that decides it. Everything below updates the moment you pick one.

iPhone: Settings › Battery › Battery Health & Charging. Pixel: Settings › Battery › Battery health. Samsung: the Samsung Members app › Diagnostics › Battery status.

A new battery restarts most of the wear clock. It does not move the security-update cutoff. Nothing does. Buying second-hand does not reset it either: a refurbished unit still has a battery of its original age unless it was actually replaced.

One number needed

Tell us your battery health and you get a straight answer.

Pick your battery health above. It is the one number that separates "this needs a cheap part" from "this needs replacing".

How to get that number

  1. Find your battery health. iPhone: Settings › Battery › Battery Health & Charging. Pixel: Settings › Battery › Battery health. Samsung: the Samsung Members app › Diagnostics › Battery status.
  2. Pick the band it falls into in the dropdown above.
  3. Read the verdict here. It updates as you change it; there is nothing to submit.
