So it is not recommended to use the stock fast charger for iPhone 11 Pro Max?

ya it is good they can included it in the box bcause no need separate buy it.
they included the fast charger but if fast charging will affect the battery health then it is not good already.  laugh.gif
10w normal ipad charger is good enough  :thumbsup:

Yup, I actually prefer fast charging to be optional... sometimes only use iPad charger for my iPhone 7

I got my phone 11pro on 7.11 with 100% of battery health as of now whilst a friend of mine got hers on the 13th where her battery health already decrease to 98% currently. I guess the battery health decrement is according to phone usage and also charging habit.

Some of that are myths.

The only reliable are, don't charge while using your phone. and charge your phone in a air circulated area, so it is not overheat.

Others said, don't charge your phone overnight or too long are myths. Our phone battery have the sensor of saying it is full and it will cut off the charge.

But some may say that, don't use up your batt to 0% as it will tick a counter. so the batt life will -1. Nobody has proven that is true or not.

it doesnt matter how to carefully charge or use it or monitor it, eventually it will drop. once it move from 100%, it will start dropping.

I used to be obsessive about battery health when my phone was still new. After several weeks I did not care anymore and just charged my phone whenever i have the opportunity.

Just got the iPhone about 2 weeks back. This time I intend to try keeping my charge to only once a day unless it has dropped to critical levels (10-20%) when I still need to stay out.

Previously used to keep it charged whenever I can haha.

I charge once daily too. And switches it off once in awhile to let the batt "rest". not sure if it helps.

My experience is no matter which way I tried, after 2-3 years, the battery will still drain very fast. It seems battery life will become bad normally after 2-3 years.

But I believe is important to charge with original charger than using some third party or unknown charger to avoid quick damage on the battery.

Guys, Please stop worrying about battery health too much. It will degrade no matter what. Just enjoy the phone as it is. Just follow what is written on the Apple website and it should degrade as how it's supposed to.

Exactly, like I mentioned before, it will degrade sooner or later, normally 2-3 years the battery will drain out very fast no matter how you protect previously.

mine still 100% from 2 months ago, no special care anything, just use normally as i didnt really care bout battery health.

just fyi my usage pattern:

1) no or sometime quick calls/gaming during charging.
2) when i at home or at office, i will charge my phone even the battery still shows 70-90% when i have the chance. i like it to be full always.
3) I never let my phone died due to no power. using 3utools, my battery still 0 charge times.
4) I seldom clear all apps. very seldom unless the app is buggy or hangs.
5) On some occasion i always use low power mode. like during working as u din use the phone much.
6) I charge my phone using MFI cables and cap ayam cable for my powerbank. and i din use apple adapter, i use ldnio plug outlet that also got usb port (fast charging)


i think thats all i can share with u. other ppl might have their own way.

one thing u have to understand is battery wear. the lower your battery percentage left, the greater wear your battery will receive when charging to full. no need to worry of continous charging when full. that just trickle charge which to maintain 100% charge.
