Use an Approved Charger

Ensure you're using a Samsung-approved charger. Unapproved chargers or cables can damage the battery and void your warranty.
2
Avoid Old Chargers
Old chargers may not supply enough power to newer devices, leading to slower or incomplete charging.
3
Check Charger Compatibility

Use Safe Mode to Diagnose
If battery drain persists, enable Safe Mode to identify if third-party apps are causing the issue:
- Power off and restart the device.
- Hold the volume-down key when the Samsung logo appears until the lock screen shows.
- "Safe Mode" will appear in the lower-left corner.
- Monitor battery consumption for 2-3 hours. To exit Safe Mode, simply restart the device.
