The battery health percentage of our iPhone is an indicator that allows us to know the battery capacity wear to maintain charge. An indicator that can be consulted and that can also be traced back (in most cases). How? Let’s explain why and talk about everything.
A percentage that we can increase, in most cases
lithium ion batteries Loses ability to hold charge with use. It’s something that goes far beyond Apple, because it’s directly linked to the chemistry of all the batteries of all the devices on the market. Since iOS 12, the operating system tries to calculate this loss of capacity, and this is what it tells us in the settings of our iPhone.
So 96% capacity means that although the battery continues to charge up to 100%, that 100% is only 96% of the capacity the battery could store when it left the factory. information we can find in Settings > Drums > battery healthbut which may, as we have said, involve an error of precision.
What can we do about it? Two things. The first is to discharge the iPhone completely, until it turns off, then to charge it non-stop to 100%. A process that we must repeat at least three times. With this we help battery charge capacity estimates contain more information to represent your state and we may see a change in this percentage.
The other option is to reset our iPhone. A hard reset on Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone without restoring our backup, the system recalculates the battery capacity, which in most cases, means a percentage increaseas our colleagues from Xataka Móvil tell us.
That said, there are two things to keep in mind. The first is that just as the percentage tends to go up, it can also go down slightly. The second is that we shouldn’t obsess over the battery health percentage. In the end, it is something that will fade with time and use, inevitable. In the event of an event, a iPhone battery replacement is a great option and much cheaper
Meanwhile, if we see an abnormally low percentage, before going to an Apple Store, we can try to restore our iPhone and let the system calculate the battery status again. Thus, we will have clearer information on whether we should take action in this regard. In the end, everything is said, with the huge battery capacity and chip efficiency and the system in general, especially if we talk about the iPhone 13 Pro Max, it is difficult to see the drop in capacity day by day. It’s much better that we focus on enjoying our iPhone, really.
