Secret code to check the battery health on your Xiaomi

To withstand the heavy use of today’s smartphones, manufacturers have substantially improved rechargeable battery technology, using better-performing compounds like lithium-ion.

However, the fact of being recharged frequently produces a reduction in their useful life. After all, they are made up of electrodes and electrolytes that react chemically, but with less and less effectiveness.

How many cycles does a Xiaomy battery last?

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, like the ones used in Xiaomi phones, can withstand up to five hundred full discharges while retaining optimal energy on the next charge.

Unfortunately, after that number of recharging cycles, the battery’s power capacity would not be sufficient to take full advantage of all the possibilities of the smartphone, and it must be replaced.

Code to know the charge cycles on your Xiaomi phone

This information is very easy to get by entering a secret menu on the smartphone. From this menu you can also view the health status of the battery from expressions that mean Good or Bad. These are the steps you must follow.

Open the Phone app and dial the following code: *#*#6485#*#*

Once information appears on the phone screen, pay attention to the lines that start with the expressions MB_06 and MF_02.

MB_06 is the expression that precedes the battery health status (Good means good condition, while a different expression will mean the opposite. On the other hand, the numeric value next to the expression MF_02 will represent the number of charge cycles.
