How to Check Battery Health and Status on Your Samsung Galaxy Smartphone

To check the battery status and health of your Samsung Galaxy smartphone, you have several easy methods:

1. Show Battery Percentage in Status Bar (to see remaining charge %):

   • Open Settings.

   • Go to Display > Status Bar (or in newer One UI versions, Settings > Notifications > Status Bar).

   • Toggle on Show Battery Percentage to see the battery % in the top status bar at all times.

2. Check Battery Health and Detailed Status (capacity, condition):

   • Open the Samsung Members app (pre-installed on most Samsung phones).

   • Tap the Support tab at the bottom.

   • Select Phone Diagnostics.

   • Scroll down and tap Battery Status.
     The phone will run a quick test and show you the battery health condition and capacity, such as whether it is “Good” and above 80% capacity (which is considered healthy).

3. Using the Phone Settings Menu (on some Samsung phones):

   • Open Settings > Battery > Battery Health (if available).
     This displays battery capacity and usage statistics.

4. Dialer Code (works on some models):

   • Open the phone app and dial *#*#4636#*#* to access a hidden diagnostic menu with battery info. Note this does not work on all Samsung models.

5. Third-Party Apps:
   Apps like AccuBattery, Ampere, or CPU-Z provide detailed battery health and usage stats if built-in options are insufficient.

Summary:
For most users, the easiest and most reliable way is via the Samsung Members app > Support > Phone Diagnostics > Battery Status to check your Galaxy phone’s battery health and capacity. To simply see the battery percentage on-screen, enable it in Settings > Display > Status Bar
