Phone battery life is influenced by many factors, including usage habits, signal strength, and running apps. realme’s charging technology features full-link multiple protection mechanisms—from the adapter to the port and into the phone. We use custom smart control chips to manage voltage, current, and temperature across the entire circuit, real-time monitoring battery usage to provide comprehensive safety protection.
I. Diagnosis: Normal Drainage vs. Abnormal Drainage
Normal Drainage
Signs: Battery level drops relatively fast during high-power activities (e.g., heavy gaming, HD video recording, 5G data downloading, continuous navigation), but remains stable during standby or light use.
Action: This is a normal characteristic of electronic products. The drainage rate will return to normal once you stop the high-power application.
Abnormal Drainage (Needs Attention)
Signs: Battery level drops significantly while on standby (e.g., overnight while sleeping); the phone heats up severely and loses power rapidly during light use (e.g., just browsing the web); or the battery appears swollen or deformed.
Emergency Action: If the battery looks swollen or damaged, stop using the phone immediately and visit a realme Customer Service Center. If the physical appearance is normal but drainage is unusual, please try the general solutions below.
II. General Solutions: Quick Troubleshooting & Long-term Optimization
1. Quick Troubleshooting: Battery draining fast right now? Check these settings
If you notice the battery is draining much faster than usual, please check the following:
Check High-Power Apps: Go to Settings > Battery > Battery usage, and see if any app is running abnormally in the background. If so, force stop the app or uninstall and reinstall it.
Adjust Screen Settings: The screen is often the biggest power consumer. We recommend turning on Auto brightness and shortening the Auto screen off time (setting it to 30 seconds or 1 minute is recommended).
Manage Connections: Turn off features like GPS, Bluetooth, and Personal Hotspot via the Control Center when not in use. These features drain power by constantly searching for signals.
Turn on Power Saving Mode: Go to Settings > Battery and enable Power saving mode or Super power saving mode. The system will automatically limit background activity and reduce some visual effects to extend battery life.
2. Long-term Optimization: Maintaining peak battery health
Optimize Signal Environment: In areas with weak reception, the phone increases power to search for a signal, leading to higher battery drain. Try to use the phone in areas with good signal, or temporarily switch to Airplane Mode in areas with no signal.
Keep System Updated: Go to Settings > About device > Top Version Card to update your system to the latest version. New versions often include optimizations for power management and system stability.
Healthy Charging Habits: Avoid draining the battery completely before recharging. "Top-up charging" (charging whenever you can) is better for battery health. Always use the original charger and cable to ensure efficiency and safety.
Check Battery Health: Lithium batteries are consumables, and their capacity naturally decreases over time. If your phone has been in use for a long time and battery life is severely insufficient, we recommend visiting a realme Customer Service Center to check if a battery replacement is needed.
