Hey guys, 
Its saying action required for my s8 battery but it's not loosing any battery life performance. Its still holding a charger and lasts for 6 hours. I was wondering if its telling me to replace the battery in the future or now? Should i even replace it if its still working fine? I just need a second opinion

If it is not broke don't fix it 🤣🤣

An S8 is an old phone and you would be way better to put the major dollars that it would cost to get the battery replaced into a new phone.

Price it out and am pretty sure you will agree

If you're good with a six hour charge then hold out.

You're welcome. Btw check YouTube for how to replace the battery when the time comes, from what I've seen its not too bad. Best of luck!

Agree with @Ray2.

The other thing that may be more of a concern, than just how long before you have to charge the battery again, is that older batteries can begin to swell. This could be a fire hazard.
