Hi everyone, I noticed something strange with my Galaxy a16 5g phone. When I enter recovery mode after a long time (like 1 hour or more), the battery drops by around 6%. But if I go to recovery mode again after that, it only drops by 0–1%, even if I go multiple times.

Also, in normal usage, my battery is working fine. No fast draining or heating.

I usually just restart the phone or wipe the cache partition in recovery. Still, this 6% drain happens only the first time.

It's because in recovery mode, the phone uses maximum brightness and CPU power.

Maybe your battery isn't calibrated.
