| May 29 at 10:34 | comment | added | zantafio | Just as an additional update I want to add that I realized I also have an old budget Android phone from 2018 which I had used for a mobile app development three years ago. This device was also in storage for more than two years and works with no problems. Seems the problem can not be just Lithium batteries. | |
| May 27 at 22:56 | comment | added | zantafio | In order to remove the battery you have to open the device. I did this on my previous iPhones up until the current SE model. After that this process is getting too messy.# | |
| May 27 at 22:55 | comment | added | bmike♦ | No - you would need to watch the charge level - stop it at 50% and then set a reminder to check every 6 months to bring it back to 50% and repeat @Seamus The only issue here is the device can't keep enough voltage to run - not that anything else needs fixing. | |
| May 27 at 22:00 | comment | added | Seamus | I'm curious... Was it an option to remove the battery before putting it into storage? Is the non-volatile memory in one of these phones actually non-volatile - or does it require power? | |

| May 26 at 17:37 | comment | added | zantafio | ah. i see. however, when i plug it into the wall charger it starts the boot loop :/ maybe that loop is draining the reminder of the battery? The phone does get warm. | |

| May 26 at 16:10 | comment | added | zantafio | Thank you. Yes, I should have followed that guidance.... Alas I did not. Now trying what you suggested and charging the device on various chargers and cables. The device is definately pristine. Never used except that shoirt time to set it up with all apps and data. | |
