Cell Phone Battery at 61%
Jan 10, 2022 10:54:27 #
For some reason, 61% seems to be the magic number indicating a bad cell phone battery. The battery in my son's two-year-old Moto E6 was showing 61%, regardless of whether is was charged or being used. Looking online, that figure seems to be rather common for bad batteries. They say that a phone that is used constantly could experience battery problems (and "61%") after about two years. That's how old his phone is. I don't use my Moto E6 much, so the battery still seems okay. My Samsung is three years old and still working.
If you're considering buying a new cell phone, you might want to look for one with a replaceable battery.

Replaceable Battery in a Cell Phone?
Is that like a Sturdy, Lightweight and Cheap Tripod.?

I don't know about the newer iPhones, but I had the battery replaced in my last iPhone after about 5 years. This was done at the neighborhood fix-it shop. The current one is several years old and charges to 100% still.

Always had iPhones and never had a battery issue. And, no, we do not get new ones regularly. We wait until the OS can’t be upgraded. Needless to say our children and grandchildren think we’re dinosaurs. (So do the very young sales people at BestBuys😉.)

Probably not the same problem, but Android phones (2 different ones of mine) will sometimes get stuck at a certain percentage: They won't charge, or indicate that they have discharged from that percentage (until they die completely). Rebooting the phone will make they start working again.
