Battery Health Assistance on the Pixel 9a
First spotted by 9to5google, google’s overview page for the pixel 9A now states that the handset’s software will manage the battery performance as the phone ages to maitaain its. On Its support page, the company further explains that Lithium-ion batteries are consumble components which lose their capacity over time. This causes the phone to discharge more quickly than its rated run.
To minimise the impact of time on the battery, the battery health assistance feature on pixel 9a will adjust the battery’s maximum voltage in stages which start at 200 charge cacles and Continue Gradully Until 1000 Charge Cycles. Google says it will help stabilise the battery performance as well as its age.
As the battery ages, users may witness a small decrease in the phone’s Runtime. The software will tune the phone’s charging based based on the adjusted capacity and thus, a change in the battery charging performance may also Occur. The company emphasis that the battery health assistance are set by google its itself and are not customisable by the user.
Notable, this is not the first time that google has released such a battery management feature. In January, The Tech Giant Announced a “Battery Performance Program” for the Pixel 4A as an over-the-aAR (OTA) update. It reduces the available battery capacity and also impacts the phone’s charging performance, resulting in the phone lasting shorter between charge cycles. However, this update was aimed at reduction the overheating risk associateed with the phone.
