Regularly checking the battery status of your Android phone will see to it that its performance won't decline. However, some cases may need replacement.

In this situation, you need to check the battery's health through the settings of your device or third-party apps. To get started, just refer to the guide below.

Check Android Battery Health from the Settings Menu

How to Know If Your Phone's Battery Is Still Good

Starting from the Settings menu, look for your Android phone's battery condition. You should note that some terms might differ from one device to another, but this should work on most Android handsets.

1. Navigate the Settings app. Tap Battery from the top-level menu. Alternatively, if this doesn't appear there, you can find it via the search bar located at the top of the screen.
2. Head to Settings until you see Battery usage. This will tell you which apps consume the most power so you can have something in your mind about what particular apps you need to limit.
3. Manage Apps That Drain the Battery: Of course, if an app is draining your battery too much it will appear there along with options such as 'Force Stop,' 'Disable,' or 'Optimize' to close or optimize apps so they perform better.

You will find some information on the battery in some Chinese brands of cell phones like Xiaomi, Redmi, or POCO, including the temperature of the battery. In case the temperature is under 50° or 122° Fahrenheit, then it means your cell phone battery is not overheating.

Access Android's Hidden Diagnostic Menu with a Dial Code

Although Android Phones have hidden diagnostic menus you can access only through the dial pad by inputting special codes, to actually see whether it's supported on your device or not, some of these menus tell you the status of your battery. Here's how to get this done.

2. Access Battery Info: Upon activating this code, the program will direct you to the display. Here, you can see the Battery Information. Click it. You get to access the charge level, health status, and the temperature.
