Huawei P8 - Battery, Charging, and Power Consumption

15 Battery, charging, and power
consumption
15.1 Why does it take a long time to charge my phone?
1. Make sure the two ends of the data cable are properly attached to your phone and the
charger.
2. If you are using a small-load charger and a computer USB cable (that generally has a
limited current of 500 mA), the charging current is small, resulting in a long charging time. It
is recommended that you use the 5 V 1 A charger that comes with your phone.
3. Quickly reconnect your phone to the charger and make sure the charging cable connector is
properly inserted to your phone. Reinsert the charger to the charging dock and make sure the
charger is properly inserted to the charging dock.
4. When you are charging your phone, applications that are running in the background may
prolong the charging time. Go to Settings > Power saving > Protected apps and deselect
power-intensive applications and other unwanted applications. The those applications will be
closed after you turn off the screen.
5. If the problem persists, take your phone to an authorized Huawei service center.
15.2 Why does my phone sometimes repeatedly restart
after it is connected to a charger and powered on?
When your battery is over discharged, the power supply is insufficient when your phone is
connected to a small-load charger, resulting in insufficient current that causes the repeated
restarts of your phone. Use the 5V 1 A charger that comes with your phone to provide
sufficient current for your phone.
15.3 Will the indicator respond when my phone's battery
level is lower than 10%?
When the battery level is lower than 10% but higher than 2%, the LED is turned off, the
indicator doesn't blink, and event reminding will not be affected.
