Google will reduce Pixel 6A battery capacity due to overheating issues

“A subset of Pixel 6A phones will require a mandatory software update to reduce the risk of potential battery overheating,” Google’s Alex Moriconi says in a statement to The Verge. “The update will enable battery management features that will reduce capacity and charging performance after the battery reaches 400 charge cycles. We’ll contact impacted customers next month, with all the information they need to address the issue.”

In April, Google also announced an extended repair program for battery swelling issues with the Pixel 7A.
