Incorrect low battery warning notification

[countryman69]

My A23 has started sending erroneous Low Battery Warning indicators.  For example, saying it is 10% when I have 75% according to the phone.  Googling of not much help.

I have power-cycled.

Can anyone help, please ?

Samsung A23 5G.  Android version 13   One UI  5.1

Are you sure it wasn't malware or a dodgy website?

Quite sure.

@countryman69: Where are you seeing the low battery indicators? Have you installed any third party applications since you first encountered the issue? 

If possible, please can you share a screenshot of the indicator, as this will be helpful for the troubleshooting process?

Thank you for your suggestion, Andrew.   No, no third-party apps loaded recently.  Started happening today. 

No other changes made to the phone that I am aware of.

The flash screen notification is only there for the briefest of time and then goes.

Oh the embarrassment ...it wasn't the phone but my Stihl bluetooth ear-defenders telling me that they needed charging.   The battery charge seems to last forever and it's the first time I've been down as far as 10%.
