Check Battery Health and Know When to Replace it

Replacing the battery at the right time keeps your device running in good health. OnePlus has done a great job by introducing this feature. By checking the battery’s health, you will know when it’s time to replace the battery on your OnePlus device.

If the battery status is showing healthy or normal (above 80% capacity), you don’t need to replace your battery. But when it shows poor (below 75%), you should consider changing the battery.

The OnePlus Diagnostic app works on all the OnePlus smartphones running Android 6.0 or above. This means it will work on all the OnePlus smartphones starting OnePlus 3 and above.
