A few months ago, a TV commercial was aired where a man was searching for a charger for his phone. You probably couldn’t ignore that ad! Today, smartphones are used so frequently that whether we’re at home, in the office, traveling, or in a meeting, we plug in our phones whenever we see a charger. But do you know how these chargers can harm your phone?
When charging your phone, you might not pay attention to how much voltage the charger is supplying. However, different chargers have different power outputs—some provide lower voltage, while others provide higher voltage. If you use a high-voltage charger, it can damage your phone, while a low-voltage charger can harm the battery. That’s why, before using any charger, it’s essential to check its voltage supply and whether it’s suitable for your phone. Are you wondering how to solve this problem? Let me tell you how you can get all the necessary information about any charger in the palm of your hand!
To check your smartphone’s battery information, download the “Ampere” application from the Google Play Store. Once downloaded, first connect your original charger to the phone and launch the application. Within a few seconds, you will see how much voltage your phone is receiving. Additionally, the app will display the maximum and minimum voltage, battery percentage, and temperature. Take a screenshot and save it for reference.
The next time you use a different charger, first open the “Ampere” application. Within a few moments, you will see the voltage supply of the new charger. Compare the new charger’s data with the screenshot of your original charger.
If the new charger provides slightly more or less voltage than the original, it is safe to use. However, if it supplies significantly higher or lower voltage, avoid using it. Using an unsuitable charger for a long time can quickly degrade your phone’s battery. At first, you may not notice any difference, but after a few days, the impact will be evident. If a charger provides nearly double the required voltage, stop charging immediately.
This application also helps you monitor your phone’s power consumption. From the “Battery Maintenance” option, you can optimize the battery, ensuring minimal power consumption and longer battery life. In the app’s top-right menu, go to “Settings” and click on “Basic Settings.”
In this section, enable the “Enhanced Measurement” option. Then return to the app’s home screen, where you will see updated information on your phone’s power usage. You can save battery by turning off mobile data, Wi-Fi, and reducing screen brightness.
Even if your original charger stops working, this app can help you choose a suitable replacement that provides the correct power supply.
