• Are you doing everything you can to bring out the best in your battery?
• Is my iPhone or Android battery living up to your requirements?
• I know those are tough questions, but they are critically important to answer if you want the most out of your device.

Here are some vetted ways of checking your battery’s health.

The logically titled Battery Life app is able to give you a straightforward, no-nonsense display of how much battery capacity you have remaining on your iPhone.

Android users: your phone also stores data about the health of its battery cell. To access it, try entering the code *#*#4636#*#* in your dialer –this should take you to a service menu where battery details are shown. If the code doesn’t work, try Battery by MicroPinch (Download link).

Tips to Check iPhone Battery Health without Activating

If you want to check the battery health of an iPhone without activating it, there are a few additional tips you can follow:

• Use a SIM Card Tray Tool: You can use a SIM card tray removal tool or a small paper clip to eject the SIM card tray of the iPhone. Look into the SIM card slot, and you may find some information about the battery, including its health status.
• Contact the Seller or Previous Owner: If you purchased the iPhone from a seller or received it as a hand-me-down, you can contact them and ask about the battery’s health. They may have information or documentation regarding the device’s battery health.
• Authorized Service Centers: Visit an Apple Store or bring your iPhone to one of the Fix My Gadget authorized service centers and explain your situation. We can check the battery health of the iPhone for you, even if it’s not activated.

Remember, these alternative methods may provide a different level of accuracy than checking the battery’s health through the device’s settings. Suppose you’re concerned about the battery health of an iPhone. In that case, activating the device and checking the battery health directly using the built-in settings or consulting an authorized service provider for a comprehensive assessment is recommended.
