Analyzing Battery Status
The Battery Status dashboard provides insight into how selected devices utilize batteries and the conditions the batteries are used under. To analyze and predict the performance of smart batteries, see Analyzing Smart Battery Condition.
You can view the Battery Status dashboard by selecting it from the dashboard dropdown menu.
From the Battery Status dashboard, you can monitor how long batteries are charged, how quickly they are discharged, and which apps contribute to the drain.
You can customize this dashboard by adding or removing the available charts.
The table below lists and describes all of the available charts.
| Dashboard | Description |
|---|---|
| Top 5 Models | devices categorized by model |
| Top 5 OS Versions | devices categorized by operating systems |
| Top 5 Manufacturers | devices from each manufacturer |
| Top 5 Battery Sizes | devices categorized by battery size (mAh) |
| Remaining Battery Capacity | categorizes devices by remaining charging capacity. Charge capacity is calculated as a percentage of remaining charging capacity of the battery compared to when the battery was new. Good – capacity over 75%, Average – capacity between 50-74%, Bad – capacity between 0-49% |
| Battery Temperature | categorizes devices by average temperature during the selected time period. Normal – 0-35 degree C; Too Hot – greater than 35 degrees C; Too Cold – less than 0 degrees C; Both less than 0 and greater than 35 degrees C. |
| Charge Cycles | categorized by the number of charge cycles battery has gone through in a selected date range |
| Cumulative Charge Cycles | categorized by the number of times the battery has been charged to date |
| Charge Patterns | categorizes devices by the pattern most commonly used to charge them. The three charging patterns measured are: To Full – device is charged to full and then unplugged; Past Full – charged to full and then left plugged in; Spot – multiple times during the day (e.g., in and out of the cradle for short periods of time) |
| Charge Type | categorized by type of charging equipment employed |
| Charge Level at a selected time | categorized by battery charge percentage at the selected time |
| Discharge Rate per Hour | number of devices grouped by discharge rate percentage |
| Top 5 App Drain (Foreground) | categorized by applications causing battery drain |
