Optimizing battery health with the new Battery protection feature (One UI 6.1)
Constantly charging your Galaxy phone to 100% can significantly shorten its battery's lifespan. To combat this, Samsung's One UI 6.1 introduces innovative battery protection features designed to extend the life of your device's battery. These features intelligently manage how your phone charges, preventing overcharging and optimizing battery health over time. By utilizing the protection mode that fits your need, you can ensure your battery charges only to an optimal level, thereby enhancing its overall longevity and performance.
Note: The battery protection feature is available only on select Galaxy models that have received the One UI 6.1 update or newer. Some older models may receive this update in the future, enabling this feature.
Battery protection features
On Galaxy models with One UI 6.1 or later, there are three battery protection features: Basic, Adaptive, and Maximum.
Basic: When your battery is charged to 100%, charging will stop until the battery level drops down to 95% and then charging will start again.
Adaptive: Use Maximum while you’re asleep and switch to Basic before you wake up. Sleep time is estimated based on your phone usage patterns.
Maximum: Your battery will stop charging when it reaches 80%.
Step 1. Open Settings > Battery.
Step 2. Tap Battery protection.
Step 3. Turn on the switch and select an option.
Note: On models with an operating system below One UI 6.1, the only option to extend the lifespan of your battery is to limit the maximum charge to 85%.
Additional information about Adaptive battery protection
This feature automatically recognises your sleep patterns and charges to 100% an hour before you wake up.
* Adaptive battery protection might not work well if you have irregular sleep patterns.
