Yes. Battery monitoring, history, family sharing and alerts are free, with no subscription or ads. Download the multi-device battery monitoring app “Maqbis” on Android 7 or later and start checking your battery.

The multi-device battery monitoring app “Maqbis” works on Android 7 or later. The upcoming app update adds support for 22 languages, including Arabic and English. Some readings, such as current and battery capacity, depend on the data your phone provides.

Your account links your phone to its data and enables battery sharing. Sign in with Google or an email address. Your battery is only shared through an invitation.

On your own phone, you see battery condition and history. For another phone, you see the readings it sends after its owner agrees to share. Check the last update to see how recent they are.

Battery level is the charge remaining right now. Battery health tells you how much original capacity remains. For example, estimated health of 80% means it holds about 80% of the charge it held when new, even when fully charged.

The multi-device battery monitoring app “Maqbis” needs enough readings to estimate capacity and health. Some phones do not provide the necessary data. A missing reading does not mean the battery is faulty. Use your phone normally; there is no need to drain it to zero.

The charger’s rating is its maximum output. The multi-device battery monitoring app “Maqbis” shows power at the battery, which changes during charging and with temperature. Check the session chart: one reading is not enough to judge the charger.

Battery drain is the charge used over the last 24 hours. It can exceed 100% if you recharge and use the phone again that day. Remaining time is an estimate that changes with use and charging speed.

In the sharing list, select the person, choose “Stop sharing” and confirm. Their access ends without affecting anyone else. Send a new invitation to share with them again.

Check the last update. The phone may have lost internet access or the app may have stopped in the background, leaving the last reading on screen. Ask its owner to check the connection and open the multi-device battery monitoring app “Maqbis” to update it.

You get alerts for low battery, high temperature and a completed charge. The multi-device battery monitoring app “Maqbis” also flags slow charging and a phone that is plugged in but not charging. Allow the multi-device battery monitoring app “Maqbis” notifications on your phone to receive alerts.

Yes. Choose the level in the alert settings. If the battery keeps dropping, another alert may arrive at specific lower levels, rather than at every 1% drop.
