How to Fix iPhone Battery Sudden Drops

If your iPhone battery is suddenly dropping, you will need to fix it by recalibrating your iPhone battery.
iPhone batteries will lose health over time, so older iPhones will not show an accurate percentage.
Once you recalibrate it, it should fix the read-out of your battery percentage.
On newer iPhones, iPhone 11, 12, and 13, this process should be automatic. You can see it under the iPhone battery menu. Access this menu under settings and plug in your iPhone to charge.
Step 1: Drain your iPhone battery until your iPhone dies.
Step 2: Plug in your iPhone and turn it off to charge it. Do this overnight for a full charge.
Step 3: Turn on iPhone and force reset with volume up, volume down, and hold the power button.
Once the iPhone is turned on again, the calibration is complete.

Good info. I just replaced the battery on my 2020 SE because it was down to 80% after 2-1/2 years. I would have tried that first, if I had known.

I have an iPhone xs battery recharged from the American company arison, the battery is on 71% on 3am when I woke up in the morning on 9 am it went down to 40%

[@tuts4140]

My 13 pro life battery is 86% it’s decent but by 6 pm I have to charge it. Been looking to just replacing the battery for $89 which isn’t bad. But if I can avoid it I will

The option for older iPhones is an official apple procedure ? Can you share it please ?

I want to ask a question do you know why an iPhone stays at unable to install that app when all apps are downloaded and now my phone till yesterday is stuck frozen

[@badmuszulaihaadenike4912]

Can i use solar to charge it

[@jakejones5736]

About every couple of months or so, my iPhone 13 battery rapidly discharges while on standby. For example: From 9 AM yesterday to 1PM today, with regular use (texting and internet search), it went from 85% down to 65%. That's a mere 20% drop in 28 hours while in use. Then, while on standby with NO use, it rapidly fell to zero around 5PM! So, in the course of just 4 short hours, in standby mode only, 65% of the battery power was consumed! The phone store recommended a complete reset which I was unwilling to jump through the hoops. So what could be the cause, and why does this happen once in a great while? For what it's worth, every time it's the exact same issue. The battery graph shows a steep straight line drop down to zero.

[@susanmcguire4664]

Thanks for sharing this information. I am still using an iphone 5 mobile phone and my battery power does seem to drop from 20% to 0 often. I was wondering why this was the case. At the moment I can not afford to buy a more modern phone so doing this might help me. I am very happy to have watched your video here. Thanks very much, have a great day.

[@Howfinity]

Hi. This is very common for old batteries. They lose life over time and they don’t keep an accurate reading. So they will go from 20 to 0. There isn’t really much you can do about it

[@saqibfiaz8038]

Same problem to me if the phone is 50% and its go to 0% is it battery problem is it true?

okay? but did it work?

But if your phone doesn’t go up to 0% it just die suddenly what will you need to do? Just follow the same procedures?

HAVE AN IPHONE XR I SLEPT With it on charge all night i woke up and it said it wasa dead but the phone was very hot , now when i try charge it if it does come on it goes to 3 percent and dies very quickly even when on charge . i also use an allarm clock charger which i rest my phone on since port is broken any tips?

I got a new battery for my iPhone 8+ 2w ago and battery still goes up and down

[@raymondmidwell3339]

I was told few years ago to let it die once every 3 months then charge to 100 percent to calibrate the battery

[@CJdeprvation]

once it’s 100% do u take it off or do u let it be on 100% for a few hours? please let me know

[@maleeshaisuranga8703]

that first battery calibrate method, is it work with iphone se2020? i got 94% capacity but i also got the battery service massege and having suddenly battery drops...

[@EatMyRPG7327]

I have mine a few months and it’s at 97% is that ok?

[@German_NaziForce]

That's happen to me

[@8crafter]

also, the max battery capacity is not accurate, it compares it to an average max capacity of all iPhones of that model that is set by apple but there is a way to check the actual max capacity using a shortcut, also my iPhone 7 says that the max capacity is still at 86% even though it is actually only at 77%

[@mhxxd4]

What shortcut?

[@8crafter]

Mine says 75% and service..lasts 5 hours maybe..or drains when off ..guess battery has completely had it?

[@naghamha2753]

I did it this way twice on my 13 pro max But I didn’t restart it the same way as you now the battery isnot the same as before 😢

[@henglay9728]

If my phone have a maximum capacity of 56% does it mean if it charged higher than that percentage does my maximum capacity go down

[@tristoffsworld855]

My phone dosent charge pla help it charged and then it didn’t charge again

[@illuviium]

If you knew anything about iPhones and batteries in general, you’d know that leaving your device plugged in after it caps battery percentage is inherently horrible for shelf life of batteries. Suggesting to leave the device plugged in over night will age your battery like milk.

[@defo.not_zaza]

I thought it’d just stops charging at 100

[@illuviium]

@@defo.not_zazait stops charging at 100% yes. It’s not like you ever see a phones battery go to 101%-107% etc.. I’m saying, for ages it has been touted that leaving a battery charging over night has always been frowned upon because very little know that batteries, although they finish charging, begin to lose their longevity when they continue receiving juice without anywhere to expel it. That’s why people who leave their phones plugged in overnight consistently , start to observe a noticeably lower performing battery that not only makes your phone glitch sometimes, but will also make you lose battery faster over the course of a day when you KNOW it never used to be like that. Leaving a phone plugged in over night is very very bad for the battery. It makes it weaker and it makes the 100% charges last way less and it makes applications and videos consume much more energy. My point being, one of his fixes for this sudden battery drop is ironic because one of the fixes is a major no no for phones

[@mahee96]

I am an electronics engineer and I can assure you that you must be joking at least according to my semester book and the scientists who designed lithium-ion batteries. Please do a read on lithium-ion batteries and how does overcharging, trickle charging, undercharging, leaving it to zero(full drain), temperature(operating, charging) affect the battery life… Oh and don’t miss to read about charging cycles/memory effect section too. Happy reading! and power to knowledge 💪

[@illuviium]

@@mahee96that’s cute You had to go to school to learn that. Yet if you just do a simple google search , you’ll see that batteries are affected by overcharging. The longevity of a battery most certainly deteriorates with overcharging. Imagine hopping online to tell people you’re an engineer and your information is wrong? Sad

[@roseagt5902]

I own an iPhone 11 at max battery 74% which goes from any percentage, could be 70, could be 40, to 12-10% whenever it is unplugged for a charging source. Sometimes immediately, sometimes 5min after, and sometimes in 30min. Then it powers itself off. It also skips when it charges?
