About BatteryTemperatureDisplay
BatteryTemperatureDisplay shows Android phone’s real-time battery temperature. The information is always visible in an icon in the status bar and in a notification, even while you use other apps.
Practical uses of monitoring battery temperature:
🔥 Overheating detection during gaming or charging
Li-ion battery degrades and loses its capacity when heated over 40 degrees Celsius for prolonged time. This can happen during gaming, 4K video recording, wireless charging. Set alarm to immediately get notified before battery gets actually overheated.
🧩 Prevent solder cracks under phone's processor
Battery is the main channel for phone's process to dumpits heat. When your battery gets over 40 degrees Celsius under heavy load of gaming or video recording, phone processor is melting itself at that moment.
