1. AccuBattery (Android App)

DescriptionAccuBattery measures your battery's actual capacity in mAh and calculates the discharge rate after each charge. It tracks the discharge rate via app, estimates the remaining time, and generates detailed cycle reports.

• Pros:
  • Alarms to disconnect at 80 %, avoiding constant full load.
  • Statistics on usage for each application (games, networks, GPS).
  • Daily/weekly/monthly degradation report, with clear graphics.
• Cons:
  • Available only on Android; nothing for iOS users.
  • Some advanced features only in Premium (US$3.49/month or US$29.99/year).
  • The interface can be a bit overwhelming at first… but you'll quickly get used to it.

By using AccuBattery, you'll have comprehensive information: oh, you know how many mAh you "lose" each day, and so you can decide whether it's worth closing that app that consumes too much.

2. CoconutBattery (macOS/iOS App)

DescriptionCoconutBattery is a desktop tool for macOS (and, via cable, for iPhone) that displays battery health status, cycle count, and internal temperature in real time. It allows you to export CSV reports and compare historical data.

• Pros:
  • Laboratory-accurate health and cycle readings.
  • Historical graphs showing the degradation curve.
  • Easy data export for external analysis or backup.
• Cons:
  • Requires wired connection on iOS; does not work wirelessly.
  • Lack of integrated recommendations: does not notify 80 %, although it does report the status.
  • Mac only; Windows and Linux users are excluded.

With CoconutBattery, you get a car mechanic-style diagnostic: you know exactly how your MacBook or iPhone battery is aging, but you have to manually apply the fixes.

3. USB-C Power Meter (Physical Gadget)

DescriptionThis small device connects between your USB-C charger and your smartphone or laptop, measuring voltage, amperage, and temperature in real time while charging. No apps required: it reads the data on its OLED display.

• Pros:
  • Instant and accurate data, without relying on software.
  • Compatible with any USB-C charger (mobile, tablet, laptop).
  • Compact and portable design: fits in your pocket.
• Cons:
  • Requires manual reading of values; no history.
  • Moderate price (US $20–30), depending on the brand and quality of the meter.
  • It doesn't automatically warn of overloads; you should keep an eye on the display.

This gadget is ideal for those who want to know immediately if the charger or cable is failing, without having to rely solely on apps.

You can download the apps from their stores
