How do you know if a refurbished device has a new battery?

• metadat 4y ago
  Android F-Droid app store has battery condition checker apps that'll show how many charge cycles the current battery has on it.

    Best I've found is 'cpu info' on F-Droid, it shows the battery health and other useful hardware stats. I checked on 4 devices (2 year old, 2 year old, 4 year old, 8 year old) and all reported battery health as 'Good', so not super detailed.

    There is a massive amount of fraud surrounding unofficial batteries so I certainly wouldn’t put it past them to just reprogram the battery cycle count. It isn’t terribly hard to do.

  The refurbisher tells you (Samsung themselves in this case)
