How to Keep iPhone Battery Health at 100

Sorry for the bad news but you can’t. so lets go a little deeper in to it to understand details that we cant keep it to 100.

“Battery Life”, time your device takes before it needs to be connected to the charger.

“Battery Life Span”, is the time taken by iPhone battery until it needs the replacement.

If i can maximize both we will be able to get the best out of our iPhone no matter whichever you own.

 

The times we are being asked this question that how to keep iPhone’s battery at 100% health is countless, it feels like the iPhone users are really obsessed with their iPhone’s battery health. There are as many articles as you can read and countless videos on You tube guiding you the process.

 

As per our research and user experience let me tell you that the only thing or habit that can keep your iPhone’s battery health at 100 is to put it in the box and don’t use or charge it, isn’t that simple?

 

I always advice people who asked me how to keep iPhone battery and 100 to stop worrying about it and have fun with your device and most importantly stop checking it every now and then.

Battery Life

If you have not seen the iPhone battery health? It can be found in Settings – Battery – Battery Health. Let me add its just the number that you will find there could be 96, 98, 83 or 100. Yeah 100 is a feel good, look good number but it doesn’t tell you anything significant or meaningful about the battery health.

 

My iPhone for instance is at 98 after a year of use that a lot of use actually. I can assure you that after the charge cycles of almost 305 this number couldn’t be right. Apple claims that battery can hold 80% after at least 500 complete charging. This means that my iPhone is more than half way in the path to 80 and health only dropped by 2 as reported by my iPhone.

 

So lets make a point number is just feel good stuff nothing significant, unless you can change the laws of physics.

 

The bottom line what I researched is that on the way to normal battery wear and tear path the battery should loose 1 at least after every 25 recharge after 305 recharging my battery should stand somewhere around 10 but it actually only loose 2 digits it because iPhone’s battery has a much upper capacity than what apple actually claims, that’s why it takes months for battery health to fall below 100.

 

So, I believe there is nothing you can do to prolong the iPhone battery health meter other than using it less, this is called the normal process.

To protect your iPhone battery from loosing health speedily you can adopt few good habits like

  • iPhone at room temperature is a good idea
  • overcharging iPhone is a bad idea disconnect when it reached 100%
  • original apple 20W charger and original cable gives you best results.

Most importantly make your life easy and stop looking at the battery health, it would just drop abnormally to 80 overall but it will follow its natural course.
