Note that Google has publicly announced that the software update would reduce the battery capacity of some devices, at the beginning of the month:

> For some devices (“Impacted Devices”), the software update reduces available battery capacity and impacts charging performance.

> You can tell which battery you have physically by the number next to the QR code. 8230015901 is ATL (good) and 8230020501 is LSN (bad). If you're replacing your battery, make sure it's ATL.

Where do I find this info on my phone?

You can run this:

  adb shell cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/serial_number

Requires adb: https://developer.android.com/tools/adb

Merci! Yep looks like my phone is affected. I guess using lineage means it's safe?

It means you should try to get your 120€/$100 voucher or free battery replacement :-)
