Hi there! Recently I found the battery life time became shorter than before. Then I used CSD Tool to test the battery. It passed every tests when discharrging. But if test the battery when charging, the voltage test would be failed (>4.35V). What does this mean? Does it mean the battery is in poor condition or something wrong in the phone? image description

While charging, the battery's voltage is higher than normally (otherwise it wouldn't charge :)), that's normal. For me shows 4.36V (over the max. amount) while full and charger connected.

I see. But the voltage is higher than 4.35V. It's that normal?

@fishegg I believe so. Remember that the charger is inputting 5V into the phone ;)

Yeah it's inputting 5V but the circuit in the phone may decrease it to 4.35V. Is that right? And I ask other to test his battery and his battery passed the test.

How full is your battery? For me it also passes the test while charging when the battery isn't close to full.
