In today’s time, our phone is not just a device, but it has become a part of our life. Especially if you have an iPhone, then you must be a little more conscious about its performance and battery. But have you ever wondered what is the real condition of your iPhone’s battery.
Why checking iPhone battery health is important
Suppose your car is not running well and you don’t know if it’s running out of fuel or there’s some problem with the engine. Similarly, if the iPhone battery is draining quickly, you need to know where the problem is.
Checking battery health lets you know how strong your battery is, how much charge it can hold and if it’s time to replace it. iPhone has a built-in feature that tells you all this – and yes, you don’t need to download any app for this.
The easiest way to check iPhone battery health
- First, go to the Settings of your iPhone.
- From there, scroll down and tap on the Battery option.
- Now you will see a new option – Battery Health and Charging. Tap on it.
Here you will see two important things:
- Maximum Capacity
- Peak Performance Capability
- Maximum capacity means how much charge your battery can store now compared to when it was new. If it’s below 80%, the battery has weakened.
- Peak performance capacity tells you if your iPhone is still working as fast and smoothly as before.
How to keep your iPhone battery healthy
- Protect your phone from extreme heat or cold.
- Don’t wait for the battery to reach 0% or 100% – it’s better to keep the charge between 20% and 80%.
- Avoid charging too fast.
- Use the original Apple charger.
