Current Date: March 2026 (approximately 6 months of use)
One UI Version: 8.0 With Feb Security Update
I am experiencing a severe battery drain issue on my Galaxy S24 FE. When the battery level reaches approximately 10–15%, it begins dropping at an abnormally fast rate and shuts off completely within just 1 to 6 minutes — sometimes even faster.
To be specific, I have observed the following:
Battery at 15% → phone dead within 1–3 minutes on some occasions
Battery at 12% → phone dead within 5–6 minutes on others
There is no gradual warning or slow decline — it simply cuts off
Why this is unusual:
Lithium-ion batteries, by their nature, discharge more slowly at lower charge levels. The voltage curve flattens as the battery approaches 0%, meaning the last 10–15% should theoretically last longer, not shorter. My phone is doing the exact opposite — the final percentage drops are the fastest.
What I have tried so far:
[ ] Checked for software updates
[ ] Monitored Battery Usage in Settings
My concern:
This phone is only 6 months old. Premature battery degradation or a Battery Management System (BMS) miscalibration at this age is not acceptable.
I would like to know:
Is this a known issue with the S24 FE?
Is there a firmware fix available?
Would this be covered under Samsung's warranty for a battery replacement?
Same here after 5th Feb 2026 last update battery performance in dropping and I am a regular user with no such heavy gaming or editing tasks. #samsungindia, please advice and let us know what is the issue?
Utilizing adaptive battery mode can be beneficial, as it may modestly enhance battery longevity. I have personally observed a significant improvement since I began using it; previously, I would charge my device two to three times daily, whereas now it lasts an entire day on a single charge.
