Help Signs of a dead battery...

[RASelkirk]

Hi All,

I've got an old Sammy Note4 that I use to communicate with my RasPI, it seems to have died. Even plugged in and showing 100%, it refuses to boot (3 boot loop cycles, then off). Could this be a battery issue? I bought a "new" Chicom knockoff on E-Bay about 2 years ago to replace the original, which would shut down when it got to 45%. This batt seemed OK until a few weeks ago when it started doing the same thing. At least the original batt would boot when plugged in...

Well, it was partially the battery. I bought and installed a new one and the phone seems fine, but fast charging is disabled and no longer available. Good thing I'm no longer depending on this phone for daily use.

yeah my note 4 most likely needs a new battery, but it is stuffed someplace in my drawer. i pulled it out to try and use as an mp3 player to no avail.....i keep forgetting to get a new battery for it.

....right now my thoughts have been for the new note 10+ coming out. no room for other phones at the moment....LOL
