Battery health is an important factor to consider when using an iPhone. Nobody wants to run out of battery in the middle of the day, and nobody wants a phone that dies quickly. In this guide, we will show you how to check your battery health and find out if there is anything wrong with it. We will also provide tips on how to improve your battery life.<\/p>\n

How to check battery health on iPhone?<\/h2>\n

iPhones are known for their battery life, and for a good reason. Even with heavy use, most people can get a full day out of their iPhone without needing to recharge. However, over time, batteries naturally degrade and lose the ability to hold a charge as long as they did when they were new.<\/p>\n

If you’re concerned about the health of your iPhone’s battery, there’s a built-in tool that can give you some insight. Here’s how to check iPhone battery health.<\/p>\n

To check your iPhone’s battery health, open the Settings app and tap Battery. On the Battery screen, you’ll see two numbers: Maximum Capacity and Peak Performance Capacity.<\/p>\n

Maximum Capacity is the total capacity of your iPhone’s battery when it was new. As the battery ages, it will naturally lose some of its capacity.<\/p>\n

Peak Performance Capacity is a measure of your battery’s ability to deliver peak power. If your battery is unable to deliver peak power, you may experience unexpected shutdowns or performance issues.<\/p>\n

If you want more detailed information about your battery’s health, you can install a third-party app like coconutBattery. With coconutBattery, you can see not only your current maximum capacity and peak performance capacity but also your “Design Capacity.”<\/p>\n

Design Capacity is the total amount of power that your battery is designed to hold. As with Maximum Capacity, this number will decrease as your battery ages.<\/p>\n

You can also use coconutBattery to see the “Cycle Count” of your battery<\/a>. The Cycle Count is the number of times your battery has been completely discharged and then recharged. Every time you charge your iPhone to 100% that counts as one cycle.<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, a battery is considered worn when it has a capacity of 80% or less. However, this number is not set in stone, and some people are comfortable with a lower capacity as long as their iPhone is still performing well.<\/p>\n

If you’re happy with the performance of your iPhone and don’t mind the occasional recharge, then you don’t need to worry about the health of your battery. However, if you’re experiencing unexpected shutdowns or reduced performance, it’s worth taking a closer look at your battery health.<\/p>\n

How do I know if my iPhone battery is bad?<\/h2>\n

If your iPhone is older than two years, chances are its battery isn’t going to be as good as it used to be. Apple’s batteries are designed to retain up to 80% of their original capacity at 500 complete charge cycles, so if you’re constantly topping up your phone<\/a> throughout the day, you might start seeing some noticeable degradation in battery life.<\/p>\n

There are a few telltale signs that your iPhone’s battery might be on the way out:<\/p>\n
