Warning: Google will soon nerf the Pixel 6a’s battery due to an overheating issue
The latest Android 16 QPR1 beta on the Pixel 6a is counting down to a battery fail-safe
- Google will soon warn Pixel 6a owners about a potential battery overheating issue, following multiple reports of the device catching fire.
- A string we found in the latest Android beta states the phone’s battery capacity and charging speed will be limited after 400 charge cycles as a safety measure.
- Given the serious risk of fire, users who see the warning are strongly advised to replace the battery or upgrade their phone immediately.
Update, June 11, 2025 (4:51 PM ET): A spokesperson for Google has shared the following statement with Android Authority:
A subset of Pixel 6a phones will require a mandatory software update to reduce the risk of potential battery overheating. 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.
