Bad Level | Under 80 | Above 300 | Under 80 |
You can set the criteria values through provisioning profile made by PMDM or Scan2Stage.

Check what apps use the battery highly, and consider optimizing the app.
You can see the usage statistic in Settings > Battery same as where you check the battery lifetime.
The way to check the battery usage is different by Android version. Expand a proper section and check the battery usage.
Tap the more options
on the upper-right side of the screen, and tap Battery usage.
You can see the statistic of battery usage by apps.
If you suspect that the reason why the battery drains fast is because of the system operation, you can see the full device usage (containing system such as screen, network, etc.) by more options > Show full device usage.
Tap the battery icon. You can see the statistic of battery usage by apps and system operation.
Scroll down to the battery usage graph.
Scroll down to the battery usage graph, and tap the graph to see the detailed battery usages.
Optimizing the App
