Battery health is a parameter that measures the “health” of the battery in your Samsung Galaxy phone. This state deteriorates over time, due to multiple factors, including the limited number of charging cycles that a battery supports, leaving the cell phone charging overnight or the use of fast charging . This is how you eventually end up with a swollen or inflated battery that needs to be changed..
Normally you cannot see this information by default on Samsung devices, but it is possible to access it by installing the official Samsung Members app , which gives you access from the phone's own settings not only to the battery status but also to the diagnosis or operation. of various components of the device.

So, to look at the battery status of your Samsung, you just have to proceed like this:
Phone Diagnostics menu (visible thanks to the Samsung Members app) on Samsung Galaxy A52 with Android 14 (One UI 6) - Install the Samsung Members app from the Play Store . If you already have it installed and the Update button appears, click on it.
- Open system settings.
- Choose “Device Care.”
- Select “Diagnosis” (if the Samsung Policies screen appears, accept everything it asks to continue).
- Phone diagnosis.
- Battery status.
If the battery status indicates Good or Normal , then you can continue using the phone normally. If Bad appears , your battery is probably short-lived and may even be inflated . It is advisable in this case to change it..
As I said, the advantage of using the Samsung Members application is that this application “activates” the Battery Status option in the same phone settings . Let's say that this information is hidden by default and with this app you unhide it.
Another good thing is that this official Samsung app allows you to evaluate the status of practically all the components of the phone , including but not only the touch screen, sensors, mobile network, WiFi, Location, Microphone, Camera, Bluetooth, USB, Speaker , Physical buttons, Vibration, Flashlight, Fingerprint Reader, etc. You can use it as an alternative to USSD codes that are used to view the status of these components..
