How to fix Samsung Galaxy S22, S22+ and S22 Ultra battery drain issues

The Samsung Galaxy S22 comes with a 3700 mAh battery which can provide up to 54 hours of battery life. The Samsung Galaxy S22+ has an even better battery capacity at 4500 mAh, which should provide up to 69 hours. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is the best out of this group with a 5000 mAh battery capacity that should provide up to 81 hours of battery life.

If you are finding that these smartphones are draining battery quicker than expected, then you can take a look at this guide from Seeking Tech to see what you can do to improve the battery life.

1. The first step we recommend taking is to make sure you aren’t using your Samsung phone in extreme temperatures.

If the device gets too hot, then you can take a look at this troubleshooting tutorial to see what actions you can take to cool it down.

2. We also recommend that you close any apps that you aren’t currently using if your Samsung S22 series phone have multiple apps opened.

Keep in mind that some videogames may cause your battery to drain faster. Applications that use any type of connection will also deplete the charge faster than usual.

3. Moreover, you should close or delete any background apps that you aren’t using.

4. If you aren’t using the Bluetooth, GPS and/or Wi-Fi, then we recommend turning these connections off as well.

5. Lowering the screen brightness will also help improve the battery life of your phone.

6. Restarting your Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ or Galaxy S22 Ultra is also helpful as it will help clear out any lingering conflicts and/or processes.

We suggest restarting your phone once a day to keep the battery usage efficient.

7. Make sure you keep the applications you have installed on your phone updated as the latest software versions may help apps become more battery efficient.

8. Of course, you should also keep the firmware of your Samsung Galaxy S22, Samsung Galaxy S22+ or Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra up to date as the latest release may help improve the battery life of these devices.

9. You can also use the Battery menu to make battery usage on your smartphone more efficient. In order to get to this menu, open the Settings App, select Battery and Device Care and then select Battery.

In the Battery menu, you turn on the power saving mode, limit the battery usage on apps running in the background and more.

10. You can also optimize your S22 series phone to manage any abnormal battery usages.

You can find the option to do so by taking the following steps:

  • Open the Settings App on your S22, S22 Plus or S22 Ultra.
  • From the first page of the Settings App, select Battery and Device Care.
  • Finally tap, Optimize Now.

To enable automatic optimization, you need to tap the icon with the three dots and then select Automation. Finally, make sure that the Auto Optimize Daily setting is turned on.

11. It is important to note that the internal batteries of the Samsung Galaxy S22, Samsung Galaxy S22+ and Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra have a limited lifespan. As a result, these internal batteries will hold less and less charge over time.

To extend the lifespans of these batteries, you can try taking the following precautions:

  • Avoid using and/or storing your phones in extreme temperatures.
  • Don’t use your phone when it is recharging at the same time.
  • We also recommend keeping the battery charge between the range of 20% to 80%. If the charge gets too low or too high, then it may stress out the internal battery of your phone.
