When should you get a new phone battery?
When should you get a new phone battery?
Maximum Capacity is a percentage that measures current capacity versus 100% when your battery was new. A range of that percentage is normal, though a healthy battery should retain about 80% of its original capacity at 500 charge cycles. If capacity falls below 80%, Apple recommends replacing the battery.
Does charging your phone overnight ruin your battery?
Apple says that when your iPhone “remain(s) at full charge for prolonged periods of time, battery health can be affected.” Android phone manufacturers, including Samsung, say the same. This constant cycle eats away at your battery’s lifespan.

If you mix brands even of the same labelled voltage – you can experience problems. Due to different manufacturing processes, the exact voltages of batteries from different producers can vary slightly. This means a 1.5 volt battery from brand X could actually be 1.6 volts, while a 1.5 volt battery from brand Y could be 1.55 volts.
Do you have to replace the battery with the same rating?
BatteryStuff TechYou want to replace it with the same voltage and chemistry battery. Your mAh can differ, but generally you want to go with one that is the same rating or higher. If you go with a higher rated battery just make sure it will still fit, and be aware it will take longer to charge.
Can a 4.5 Ah battery be wired in parallel?
two 6 volt 4.5 Ah batteries wired in parallel are capable of providing 6 volt 9 amp hours (4.5 Ah + 4.5 Ah). four 1.2 volt 2,000 mAh wired in parallel can provide 1.2 volt 8,000 mAh (2,000 mAh x 4). But what happens if you wire batteries of different voltages and amp hour capacities together in parallel? This is the big “no go area”.
What does it mean to connect batteries in series?
For more information on wiring in series see Connecting batteries in series, or our article on building battery banks. The basic concept is that when connecting in parallel, you add the amp hour ratings of the batteries together, but the voltage remains the same. For example:
Who is the battery that could change the world?
Enter the battery that could change the world. It addresses both the energy density problem and the danger of fire if the battery is damaged. The NOVA documentary profiled the work of Professor Mike Zimmerman of Tufts University.
What happens if you store a new battery for 3 months?
Results showed if you store your battery charged at 100% at a temperature of over 40C for 3 months. The maximum battery capacity will drop to just 65%. So if you plan to be your using your new battery in high temperatures you should avoid it altogether if you want to escape from premature battery degradation.
Where can I buy new batteries for my cell phone?
