Emir BardakçıNeedless to say, knowledge about the ‘health’ of the battery of your devices is quite primary to maintain performance and work longevity. You can check in detail the health in Samsung using ADB(‘Android Debug Bridge’) mode commands. Herein, we can take a look at the below-provided steps for effectively checking battery health:.
Prerequisites
- ADB Installed: Ensure ADB is installed on your PC or Mac.

- USB Cable: Connect your device to the PC or Mac using the compatible USB cable. Steps to Retrieve Battery Information
Open your terminal or command prompt in your computer. Then, open a shell with ADB using the following command: adb shell dumpsys battery Examine the output for the following important pieces of information:
- mSavedBatteryUsage: “219”40
- mSavedBatteryAsoc: 99
What These Values Mean
Charge Cycles (mSavedBatteryUsage):
A charge cycle is considered every time you charge your battery from 0% to 100%. Partial charges accumulate to complete cycles over time. Higher charge cycles usually mean an older battery.
Battery Capacity (mSavedBatteryAsoc):
It is the percentage that describes the extent to which the battery retains its capacity compared to a completely new one. To put this into perspective, 99% conveys almost perfect health; below 80%, values may indicate that noticeable degradation is occurring in the battery performance.
Tips for Maintaining Battery Health
Avoid letting your battery drain completely before charging. Use genuine or certified chargers to avoid overvoltage. Avoid extreme temperatures of your device. By using this method, you can monitor your Samsung device’s battery health and take proactive measures to ensure its longevity.
