Fast battery drain is frustrating — but it is rarely a mystery. Most of the time a few settings, apps, or charging habits are to blame. Here are seven common causes and what to do about each.
01Background app refresh
Apps updating in the background quietly burn power. Review which apps truly need it and turn the rest off.
02Screen brightness and always-on display
Lower brightness, shorten auto-lock, and disable always-on display if you do not need it.
03Ageing battery health
After hundreds of charge cycles, capacity drops. If health is below ~80%, a battery replacement is usually the best fix.
