Stop DAMAGING Your iPhone's Battery! How to Maintain Battery Health!

[@irbose9895]

Life’s too short to worry about a phone battery, just replace the battery

[@brendadeleon1805]

Best comment 😎 I charge my phone anytime I feel like it with my wireless and fast chargers. Battery health on paper is at 81% but my phone lasts all day. If my battery starts really degrading I just get a new battery.

[@MegaSahil05]

I fuckin changed my battery at 80 percent after 2 years exact ! And yeaaahhhh boi I got 100 percent battery Healh now One thing more ! No matter how much you prevent your battery health to deplete, it will deplete no matter what Even apple says for 2 years your battery health will reach to 80 so don’t ponder so much on this issue just get your battery replaced and use it tension free Also I would suggest all those iPhone users using wireless charger and fast charging stop it 🛑 just use slow charging , which actually works to preserve your battery 🔋

Also, putting your phone on a MagSafe charger will not cause the phone to heat up too much. There are temperature regulators built in the hardware and software of both the charger and the phone. If the phone begins to heat up too much, the phone will slow down the current of the charge, allowing the temperature to decrease. Usually, if you just let your phone charge, and you don’t use it while charging, the temperature is fine. And you don’t need to micro-manage your charging habits. All of this has been taken into account by the battery and software engineers. These aren’t the same batteries you used 10 years ago.

[@rqpaul]

wireless charging causes the most damage to your battery :/

[@Andrewplays156]

Facts

[@seol1500]

It is still much hotter than conventional cable charging method due to energy loss of having extra coil. Yes, there is regulators built in that slows down charging, but it won't change the fact that it degrades battery faster than the conventional method. At least it's better than playing iphone games while charging. Similarly, if you use magsafe car mount with charging make sure to get one with cooling as you will be running apple carplay or navigational apps. These makes your phone super hot.

[@roshangogu2670]

It will only stop charging after 80 percentage when its hot

[@jumanakhorrami4305]

But my battery has been 90% for so long, when i started using the MegSafe it dropped to 89% :/… im not sure why honestly, any idea on how to properly use the megsafe?

Totally agree. We all banded together to get my mum an iPhone 13 Pro for Christmas. I've told her to charge it with the 5W charger that came with her iPhone 7. We've also enabled that optimised battery charging feature which should work well for her as she almost always charges her phone at the same time every day. I'm not a fan of wireless charging at all. I have a wireless charger in my car and only use it if absolutely necessary. Every phone I've tried charging on it (Galaxy S8, iPhone 11 and my now current Galaxy S21) all get pretty hot.

Great video. Despite how expensive Apple products are the batteries for iPhones are between $50-$70 to have replaced by Apple & if your under AppleCare it’s free. I don’t know why the hell people stress over this. People utterly obsess over battery health, it’s crazy. I can understand if battery replacements costs several hundred dollars or something like that. There’s nothing wrong with checking on it occasionally and learning a few simple charging tips. Don’t leave it in extreme temperatures, don’t drain it to 0% if you can help it & use official chargers. It’s not that complicated. Twisting yourself into knots over a piece of technology that’s going to wear out eventually is not worth the headache. You’ll never get to enjoy technology if you’re spending most of your day babying how you charge your battery.

[@beanapprentice1687]

It's simple: we should be minimizing the amount of waste we produce. Most old iPhone batteries just get tossed, since they are too small to be worth saving. Even if everyone put in the effort to extend their smartphone or smartwatch's battery life for just 1 extra year, it would make a noticeable impact on the amount of batteries ending up in landfills.

The issue is the quality of battery since day one even at 100%. Just charge, in middle East it is more than 40C, drop to near red alarm, charge it back to full. No issue at all as battery only last at most 3 to 4 years. If not changing phone, just get the battery replaced. All this tips do not prolong battery life as it is design to fail so you upgrade. Just use your phone and replace the battery when time comes.

After doing deep research on rechargeable Battery's I have learned they all need to be recycled properly. This is correct.

This way you are assured to get the Max capacity rating of the Battery & a longer life span.

Read about this as well. Generally speaking, lithium ion batteries have finite charge cycles. More you fully cycle, the shorter the lifespan of the battery. Constant top up rather than full cycling is optimal. Nothing I own gets below 30% at least before hitting a charge pad or plug.

[@mohammedmohaimen203]

So what should Charge from 30 to 80

[@shotgun6160]

I bought my iPhone 13 Pro after about 2-3 weeks that it came out ( mid october ). Today is April 26 and it is at 100% of battery health. I constantly keep my iPhone cool by taking the back cover off time to time ( expecially when charging, always take off the cover when you are charging the phone ) fanning at it with my lungs and by fanning some air with the back cover so that the phone temperature is lower than the temperature of my lips. Most of the times i keep the battery between 40 and 75% ( sometimes it goes to 34-35% and sometimes it happens that i charge it to 80%, but hardly ever higher than that ). I use the low power mode very often, expecially when gaming ( i play Cod Mobile very much ), with the low power mode this phone never heats up but because the A15 chipset is very powerful, you will not get performance drops if you are in low power mode ( except not having 120hz refresh rate on the screen ) and just when i normally use it sometimes i turn on the low power mode to save some battery and to prevent the heating ( with fanning on it time to time ). Just try to keep the temperature of the phone cool at all the times ( although it happened to me sometimes that it got hot ) and your phone will be fine. Don’t leave it under direct sunlight or inside the hot car. Try to turn on the low power mode when you are using something that can cause the heating of the phone ( i notice that when i watch the Instagram reels and i am not in low power mode it heats up pretty much ). Just be constantly aware of the temperature, love your phone and don’t let it get warm and you will be great. I know that some people don’t want to lose their time to do this but if your goal is to keep your phone as perfect as possible you have to put some effort. May God bless all of you in Jesus’ powerful name🙏🏻

[@dasnisenarathna2435]

[@pirobot668beta]

Lithium charging circuits, without exception, 'test' the battery at intervals to see if it is charged. This 'test' is essentially a momentary short-circuit of the battery while monitoring the battery voltage. While a reliable test, this stresses the battery quite a lot, can lead to heating. The more hours your phone spends on the charger, the more damage you are doing to the battery! Charge to 90%, take it off the charger...but never let them discharge below 20%!

Good recommendations in general, but I'd add: 1) Sometimes our phones do get hot. Whatever you do, don't charge it when it's hot. That just makes it a lot hotter. Wait till you can find a cooler environment, or a time when you're not stressing the phone with a game, etc., before charging. 2) Regarding not letting your battery drop to 0%, this is true, but as I understand it, when your phone says it is at a 0% charge, that is not precisely true. There is a few percent buffer built in so your battery never actually hits 0% before it initiates the shutdown procedure. So I don't worry much about going to "zero". Still, if your phone drops to under 20% or so, and you know you'll need to use it, put it into low-power mode. It'll stretch out the remaining charge a lot. 3) Not storing a phone at 100%: absolutely true. I've even taken to only charging my phone up to 80% or so before turning the charger off unless I know I'll be needing a higher charge soon for a long, GPS-traced hike, for example..

[@GA-wq8xq]

Apple need to have a setting to allow the phone to recharge overnight to 80%

[@GregConquest]

@@GA-wq8xq I agree. Apple has finally made MacOS charge only to 80% if your usage history shows you don't discharge the battery deeply*. I wish they would do the same for iOS. Then, when you know you'll be needing a deeper charge, you just tell it to charge fully. That is how it works on the Mac. * It's not actually working very well. Only occasionally does my Mac suspend charging at 80%. It is still a new feature. Edit: iPhones already do have "optimized charging". This does charge your phone up to just 80% or so when you connect to a charger and go to bed. Then it waits till just before you normally wake up to top off the charge. Better than nothing, but a firmer limit would be even better.

I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max purchased on feb 2021, it went down to 99% battery condition like 3 days ago. All I do is to avoid it from going below 45% (only if possible, I’ve drained my battery like twice just because I got home late and didn’t have a charger). I use fast charge, I found out that charging it from 45% doesn’t heat the device as much as charging from a lower level.

Another tip: Don't use the phone while it's charging.

[@halami2149]

Ehhh, I’d argue if you’re using a slow/standard charger (5w), that’s better to charge while using. Why? Well, let’s say your battery is at 50% and you’ll be charging it for 1 hour, and it normally takes that amount of time to charge to 80. But while you’re using it, it would take 2 hours maybe. So, you’ve made that 30% last longer, using less cycle life. Something I’ve noticed is when I’m on a video call with friends, and I have my phone on a 5w wireless charging stand, the battery seems to barely go up or down, it stayed at about 75% the whole time we talked (which was a couple hours). So it’s better to let the battery go down then go up? Not really, because that’s using more cycle life, as I said

[@sleepless51]

@@halami2149 I get the logic you follow but Cycle is when you charge up to 100 and then drain down to 0. So if you follow the suggestion to charge up to ~80 and drain down to ~20, cycles shouldn’t bother it. Another thing, you don’t want the battery or the phone to heat up. That decreases the battery life span in general. But that’s what happens when you use it while it’s charging, it heats up abnormally.

[@halami2149]

@@sleepless51 My phone doesn’t get hot when I’m using my 5W charger, it might if I was playing games. But charge cycles are still being counted when doing normal charges. Going from 100 down to 50 and then doing that again is a full cycle, since it’s 50% being used twice, equaling 100%. That’s what I mean by cycles. Going from 0-100 is a full cycle, but it’s not the only thing that counts towards the overall cycle count

If the battery will be used as 0-100% - it'll be slowly dying. If you'll use it as 20-80% - it'll also be slowly dying. If you won't use it at all, and put it on a shelf - it'll be slowly dying as well. So, don't think about it too much, and just ... use your devices. One thing kills your batteries quicker than others - it's the fast chargers. As the rule of thumb, the *safest* current will be 1/10 _(1/6 max)_ based on your cell's capacity _(close to 1A max for ~5000mAh cells, for example)._ Even the desulfation process _(on the car batteries)_ is done on a lowest possible current for the same reason. =) The slower you charge your batteries - the better their condition will be over time.

[@NarayanKrishnaSingh]

If we can not charge iPhone to 100%, it should not let charge to the 100% level. Either it should give a kind of "warning" sound before reaching 100% or it should have a mechanism not to charge to 100% by itself even though the charging connection is connected.

[@jonas8266]

It's best to leave your phone at 50% all the time, but that's literally impossible.. So it's recommended to keep it between 40% and 60%. I always charge mine to about 65% - That gives me enough juice to finish the day on about 40-42%. I never use fast charging or charging overnight. I charge my 13 Pro Max with a 5W charger and if absolutely needed, I use a 10W charger. (Which feels fast when I'm used to 5W lol) If I use 10W or above, then I place my phone cooler on it so it cools down the battery. Ok, now when I read it myself, I finally realize that I need a real hobby... ;-;
