Default Is there a program that tells you the true battery wear level?

I've been looking at apps but none of them tell me the Original charge capacity vs the current wear level (current charge capacity).

Thanks

Try "Battery Calibration" from the market. It will clear out your old battery stats and shows you the correct battery charge. Follow these steps:

1. Download and install "Battery Calibration"
2. Charge your phone to 100%
3. Without unplugging, press the "Calibrate" button in the app
4. After calibrating is done, unplug the phone
5. Use the phone till it drains out to 0% and turns off
6. Charge it to 100% without a break

Now your phone should show you the correct battery stats. This app is a must-have if you've flashed a new ROM onto your phone. But you can use it to calibrate your battery whenever you feel that it is not reflecting the correct charge.

Or if you have CWM recovery installed, just boot into recovery and wipe the battery stats when ur battery is at 100% and still plugged in.

People.... he is NOT asking about the calibration nonsense (pure placebo, the apps do not do anything useful). He wants to know the nominal vs. current capacity, i.e. the wear level.

@OP: Sorry, neither do I. Maybe the info is just not accessible by SW.

I just want an app that shows me the % used / hour.

Actually, it is hard to tell the battery charging and weal levelling. It may vary due to the usage, temperature, environment variables (humidity etc) and the ROM too.

I don't that there is such applications available in market.

Google play only lists the apps which is showing the battery charged/remaining percentage only.

Default Re: Is there a program that tells you the true battery wear level?

Usually batteries last for around 400-500 charge cycles. A charge cycle is completed when you discharge the phone to 0% and charge it to 100%. If you charge your phone once everyday, your battery will last around a year and a half I.e. 18 months.If you charge your phone twice everyday, the battery will last for around 9 months and so on

Not necessary. I charge twice a day and my battery lasted for the last 2 years.

Everyone email snapdragon devs to have them incorporate battery information on weartear. N cycle counts into that app
