About the phrase " run out of"
When we are talking about the mobile phone, is it possible to say, " I've ran out of the battery." instead of " My mobile has ran out of the battery. ?
Thank you in advance.

People do say "I've run out of battery." as well as "My phone has run out of battery."
It's run rather than ran in the present perfect tense (has + past participle of verb). Ran would be used in the past simple like "My phone ran out of battery yesterday, that's why I didn't call."
You also don't need 'the' before battery.

It is possible to say" I've ran out of the battery" except WITHOUT the "the". :D
But whatever you say, DON'T say "the" battery. You sound like you learned English from an online program, which is what you don't want :D

I would say My phone's dead, it needs to be charged. :}
