Although the Z10 has a removable 1,800mAh battery, there are some few minor issues with this battery that users are facing. Recently, I have gotten a complaint by a Blackberry user, stating that every time his Blackberry is at 25% the phone would automatically shut off. While some people may conclude that it’s some software or update issues, well it’s not.
I have just recently bought a blackberry z10,its less than two months old but surprisingly it cannot run with its battery level at/below 25%,i dnt get warning signs for low battery anymore,it just switches off,what could be the problem?
There are several reasons why your blackberry Z10 Turn off at 30-15%. One of the reasons is security wipes. Security wipes should be taken keenly with precautions because when a user updates his Blackberry and performs a security wipe it affects the calibration sensor, thus causes the battery to die at a low percentage.

If overheated or overcharged, Li-ion batteries may suffer thermal runaway and cell rupture. In extreme cases this can lead to combustion. Deep discharge may short-circuit the cell, in which case recharging would be unsafe. To reduce these risks, Lithium-ion battery packs contain fail-safe circuitry that shuts down the battery when its voltage is outside the safe range of 3–4.2 V per cell. When stored for long periods the small current draw of the protection circuitry itself may drain the battery below its shut down voltage; normal chargers are then ineffective. Many types of lithium-ion cell cannot be charged safely below 0°C
