Protect Battery function

sorgiulio — Wed, 13 May 2020 13:50:32 GMT

I've enabled Protect Battery option in Settings - Battery - Charging on my Tab S6 Lite because it looked like a good idea to preserve the battery life. Yet, when I charged the device, it charged up to 100%. I know this because I revert the setting to check and found out that the battery was 100% while I was expecting to see it at 85%. Is this option real? Why it didn't work for me? Thanks

When this option is selected 85% is the new 100%.

That is - for convenience it will still show 100% but only charges to 85%.

I'm not convinced this feature is working on my Tab s7+. If battery protection is on and I charge it to 94%, if I then switch protection off and restart the tablet it still show 94%. Should it not show something less tan 85% if it really was limiting the charge to 85%?

What I understand after reading the description of this Protect Battery function is that my battery will automatically change to to 100% upon reaching 85% when this function is activated. However, it seems like the battery level continues to increase past 85%. Similar to the other users, I tried turning off this function and waited for the device to restart but the battery showed to me was more than 85%.

Is this a software issue or is my tablet faulty?

Perhaps a Samsung Officer can enlighten us on this issue.

That's not how it works, with that setting 85% is full battery (100%), meaning that all the values are adjusted based on that. After the change 90% is the "old" 76%.

It says that it might need a full charge to reflect that change.

Thanks Rob. Do you know if that is a full charge with Protect Battery on (i.e. a true 85%) or a full charge with Protect Battery off (i.e. a true 100%)?

A full charge after you turn on the option.

That doesn't seem to make any difference unfortunately. I charged to 100% with PB on. I then switched PB off and restarted but it still showed 100% and wouldn't charge any more. After a bit of use it dropped down to 98% so I switched PB back on and restarted but it still showed 98%. Protect Battery definitely isn't working.

Doesn't work on my Tab S6 lite either. Continues to display the same % in the 85 - 100% range regardless of whether it's turned on or off. Samsung engineers haven't got back to me yet

You're right, there's a problem with the battery protect feature I. E. It doesn't work!
