When calibrating the cell phone, it seeks to eliminate from the database those erroneous files, which in this case are giving bad information on the percentage of the battery. In some cases you can calibrate the mobile phone without being rooted or needing root access , it all depends on the mobile you have, you can search for its characteristics and steps to calibrate it.

Update device software

It is easy to notice when this problem appears, as it suddenly begins to shut down , or other features such as dialing uncontrolled battery percentages , witnessing excessively rapid battery discharges , or even the so-called " battery paralysis " where the percentage remains frozen and then suddenly completely discharges.

How to prevent the battery from deteriorating quickly?

To avoid the same incidents in the future with the new battery, you should change your charging and mobile usage habits , mainly avoiding charging it for long hours after you have completed its charge percentage, charging it on, using chargers that are not original or even that are from other equipment and avoid using it while charging.
