What battery health percentage is guaranteed?
We verify and record the exact battery health percentage for every handset. Devices feature verified battery health, typically 85% to 100% capacity. If a battery cell was replaced during lab testing, we use brand new tested quality cells and disclose this with 100% radical transparency.
