Any application to "test" the battery?

**SpikeJones** · 01-17-2013, 05:54 PM

Is there any application out there that will test the phone's battery? I may be paranoid, but sometimes when I look at my phone, the battery seems to be lower than it should be. Is there a test that I can run to determine the health of my battery?

Some battery widgets actually put battery health in the status, such as battery widget by elvision... (I think that's it.. the first one to pop up on play store when battery widget is searched)

That's the one I use. Nice little widget

Note 2, it's true, ,size is everything!

I've used that one for years... just stuck with me.

Even though I have battery percentage up top now, I like the widget. It helps keep shortcuts from getting created on my filled home screens

There used to be a way to see that in settings... May have been the spare parts app... came stock on my g1...
