Battery dropped from 48% to nearly 0%

[digimon11]

I was walking today at 0 degress C, and my battery went from 48% to 5% within a minute, another minute and it was 0%. Can anybody explain this?

Batteries don't like extreme cold.

That's below the safe operating temp for the phone and isn't good for the battery, get it cold enough and the screen can crack as well.

Is that in the settings or a app? I like all the information it shows and I would like to know all the little details that's going on with my phone so I can keep it running as good as possible.

O°C is just freezing. I would hope that being exposed to that would not damage anything.

Here's a good article to read: https://www.wired.com/story/why-your-phone-and-other-gadgets-fail-you-when-its-cold/

Yep True..... batteries don't like cold weather or you could need a new battery

Hence why I said if it gets cold enough, I don't know the exact temperature limit but when I worked for Verizon I had a group of guys come in after being out snowmobiling, all of their phones were dead and one had a shattered screen.

0°C/32°F is the minimum safe temp listed by Apple, most phone manufacturers don't list a temp range. It's cold enough to drain the battery, but not cold enough to actually cause damage.

Less than 15 minutes outside today in -2°F and my buddies Pixel powered off despite being kept in his pocket until he pulled it out to send a text. Made a comment about how fast the battery drains in the cold and powered off almost immediately.

Phones do not handle freezing temperatures.

Samsung lists the operating temperature range between 32 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
