charge use quick charger but apple original charger dont buy ciplak charger and then dont charge use laptop or computer usb port. that will make your battery health reduce. i experienced before use apple original charger and charge from plug point. once in a while powerbank ok .. don't frequent

how much your battery health?

Yes i found use ciplak charger or cable will spoil battery. My gf phone 95%. Yours?

Mine 100% dont use ciplak cable and dont charge use pc or laptop.

not all iphone support fast charge.. you can check at apple website. if not support then you can use apple normal charge which is they provided in box.

As a moderate gamer, i avoid charging the phone during intense gaming session in order to keep the phone battery health at it best. But my iphone mainly dedicated for gaming purpose only and the health at 87% after close to 2 years of usage.

XS Max. Slightly over a year old, battery at 99%.

I use neither an "ori" cable or an "ori" charger.

Charger at home is a four port Remax charger that I think outputs 2A. Coupled with an auto-disconnect cable.

Sometimes I use a wireless pad connected to a QC head.

During longer drives, or when my phone needs charging, I connect it to my in-car charger.

I also use a powerbank when the battery is low.

At the office, it alternates between a wireless charger, or a slow charger (I partially lied, this is the only "ori" head that I use).

I don't stress myself out with battery life too much. Charge when needed. I usually plug it in to a charger when battery drops below 80. Though sometimes I'll only remember to charge right before I sleep...when the battery is under 40%.

Don't stress out over your battery too much. The device is meant to be used.

PS: I use a combination of things in your poll. Only thing I rarely use is the quick charge, since I hardly have need for it.

I practice 30-80% rule but I prefer to charge it at around 50% and it takes about 45minutes to reach 70+%. Always charge my iPhone X in airplane mode. Do not use phone while charging. I only use original cable and charger. Battery health is 99%.

Looks like better dont charge when gaming

Wow nice 99%

Another 99% ! So u did not charge till 100%?

those wif >90% life, did u all charge when the batt dropped to certain level or keep on charge even battery still almost full?

i always charge the phone even though my batt already full.. yeah maybe i dont gaming much n left the phone charged overnight

I used to charge it to 100%, but when reviews recommended the 30-80% rule. I don’t charge the phone to 100% anymore. I also find this rule friendly as I don’t have to charge my phone longer in airplane mode.

I charge to 100% every time, but I avoid leaving it on the charger overnight.

Airplane mode..So hardcore

U start to charge when batt dropped to how many %?

My XS battery is now at 89 % despite taking care of it well . but its okay lah . its wear and tear

my battery 69% - but battery apps say good condition. iphone 6s plus

I think there’s a problem with either the battery, or how it logs it. Many Xs owners have reported horrible battery life in the thread. So I don’t think it’s your usage...but rather just how the battery behaves

I noticed after upgraded to iOS 13 my battery life is not as good as iOS 12
right now battery wear is 93%, 2 more weeks left until my warranty end

Depends how much of the battery is left. I charge it when it’s below 60%, if above 60% then I’ll charge it the next day - that’s how much faith I have in the battery of the 11 Pro Max

can i claim warranty ?

I try to charge when I see it drop below 80%. Not a hard rule. If I'm at my desk (office) and I notice it's dropped quite low, I'll just plug it in. Sometimes I forget, in which case I have an app on the watch (battery phone) that buzzes me when battery drops below 40%. At which case I will usually find a power source

Same. I used to not need to charge my phone at the office (unless I'm actually not doing much work then I'm on the phone more ). Nowadays, I find more need to charge the phone midway through the day.

Not too sure on that I'm afraid. You could check on the main thread. Maybe someone with a Xs can help you there. I know someone managed to claim warranty for their XS Max for some battery issue.

Last time using iPhone 7, battery health doesn't drop so easily even didn't take a care of it.

Now using iPhone XS, battery drops nonetheless. My 4 months old iPhone XS already rated at 97%.

will do , hopefully can change , my iPhone is still under warranty

XR

mainly use the included 5W charger at home, sometimes charge overnight to 100%

at office most of the time use wireless charger, and sometimes use fast charge from powerbank

after 6months, battery is still at 100%

wah, your iPhone battery can last that long, my iPhone 7(replacement unit) already 86% battery health with less than 1 year of use. Even normally(iPhone 5) can last 1.5 years

593 charge cycles with 84% battery health. good? any review on high capacity battery like those from yoobao? they said good with extra time

3rd party battery/3rd party service/DIY = void warranty, cannot service at apple authorised service center anymore( even if your phone is out of warranty )

mine no more warranty and i even dont trust apple authorized service center. they actually more like replacing center rather than servicing center. 3rd party are far more expert on servicing it than apple.

What I heard was AASP can’t service iPhone under warranty(need to send to Apple to replace/service), they have limitation on what they can service.

You must make the right choice on choosing 3rd party service center(3rd party don’t have original parts).... my experience with 3rd party service(at least the one I went to) quality isn’t good at all, 6 months then the battery cannot use at all and cause unexpected shutdown when unplug from wall power.

So my Pro Max battery health fell to 99% after few weeks only.

Hi, can I know what is 30-80 rule?
99% health after using the phone for how long?

There was this review/research on how to take care of your iPhone battery. It’s by keeping your battery charge between 30-80%. Also recommended to carry a battery bank when you want to follow that review if you are a heavy user. Apparently, it extend the battery health according to the review. My iPhone X this December will be 2 years old.

Oh, so you will charge it before it gets lesser than 30% and remove from charging when it hits 80%?

Yes. I also charged it in airplane mode so that it speed up the charging.

use between 15 - 65% range only

dont charge to full
dont deplete it

iPhone XS Max, one year old still 100%.

- charge between 20% - 95%
- rarely charge overnight, but if I need to i always put on top of laptop cooler pad
- use waze always use the phone holder that holds your phone infront of the aircond vent to prevent overheating
- take off case when gaming

usually iPhone in malaysia battery degrades faster due to our climate situation, Apple says iPhone ideal working temperature is capped at 35 degrees.

Don’t care about it, just perform as design, use to the max. Always can replace new battery, small money.

Just charge it whenever u need it to be charged.

The phone is there to serve u, not the other way around.

My battery is 97% now, after almost using it for one year. I charge it whenever i like, few times (at least 3-5 times) a day.

Stock or fast charger?

both.. but usually at home i charge using stock 5W charger.

but sometimes got use Anker branded PD charger.

charge whenever charger and cable is around.
usually charge 6-7 hours at office, charge overnight at home daily.

X - 100% after 1 year
XS MAX - 100% after 1 year
11 Pro Max - still 100% after 2 months

Nice, Unbelievable result. Stock charger all the way?

charger doesnt really matter. the voltage/amp is regulated by your phone..
its the cable
learned a lesson with this. even stock cable
get a usb tester to check all cables. you be suprised. i had one cable.. couldnt charge my ipad mini 2/6th gen/pro properly but no issue on my x/7plus/7/xs max/11 pro/11 pro max. then checked with usb tester. the amps/voltage was inconsistent compared to a newer or other cables..
so afaik this might affect the phone

I do not charge overnight and do not charge until reach 100 percent. 90 percent good enough already.

I used to use rm3 cable, the battery terus spoil after few days. Now Im using ugreen lightning cable for my new phone, should be fine?

at office, samsung charger.
at home, samsung power bank / targus extension with usb port.
cables are cheap cable from ninjaz.

need help here.

i was a heavy mobile legends player and my battery health was 92% when i last played the game. since then i’ve quit the game.

so now i don’t play games anymore, but my battery health continues to drop, even faster when i was a mobile game player. now it’s 86% (i quit the game not even a month ago)

should i get it replaced or is there any way to set this? the only thing i’ve been using constantly now is netflix, which i doubt will drain my battery in this such manner.

iphone x here

Should get it replaced. Thats the only way

11 pro max around 7weeks using. last night before charging 100% health after charging 99% health. i notice the phone very hot when using fast charging nt sure is it related but i guess i will stop using 18w and use back 10w charger. my previous xs max 11 months just drop to 99% health but this 11 pro max used 7 weeks already 99%

ever since u got a usb tester. i found all the issues always laid at the cable rather than charger.
even apple stock cable decays.

just go to machines etc and get it replaced.

Best to stick to original stock 10W charger as opposed to 18W quick charger.

Will definitely have adverse effect on your battery life later on.

but but 18w is the ori charger come with the phone
using 10w charger now so far so good phone is cold

Isn’t the original stock charger is 5W? iPad original charger is 12w

The 18w is actually the fast charger for the phone, people are for some reason demanding fast charger bundled in the box for their phones for some reason instead of making it option like with the iPhone 8-11 ....

Im using Tronsmart W3PTA charger VoltiQ port. should be 12W also same with iPad charger.

cheap cable from ninjaz? are you kidding bro? i used it and my iphone battery spoilt

hard to believe your phone still max health

yes, cable like this only. not mfi certified.


Attached thumbnail(s)

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.
10w normal ipad charger is good enough

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

Double posted

Depends on how you use it

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.

This post has been edited by IMfae_: Nov 25 2019, 03:56 PM

actually i also feel phone usage habit > charging habit i.e maybe someone maxing the phone brightness while gaming, watching video or using waze etc.

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.

may i know where to get this usb tester?

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.

haha..true story bro

iPhones 6 plus,
93% battery

I never charge overnight except during travel.
Always maintain 50% to 100%
Seldom let it drop below 10%

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.

My charging routine

After work and back home normally I left 30-50%.. and I charge my phone while I’m bath / dinner.. then unplug and I charge overnight during my sleep time...

In using 2nd hand iPhone X , 90% battery health ( from this March ) until now 89%

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.

https://www.apple.com/batteries/maximizing-performance/

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.

You're the legend man. Have you replace your battery? 😅

Not yet.
But replaced mic and screen.

powerbank jer....

How do you check the battery's maximum achievable level?

Settings -> Battery -> Battery Health

u will see max capacity

if a iphone 7s is at 80% and the battery life drops by 10% within 10mins, is it time to replace battery? worth or not?

forgot to mention, i closed all background apps and batt is still draining so quickly...not sure why..

Ok thank you.

Battery not healthy.

me and my wife, both are using iPhone 11.

at first we both use Spigen Ultra Hybrid.

both battery health at 100%

then I change to Liquid Air, I noticed the phone got hot sometimes using that case. check battery health become 98%. wtf.

now change back to Ultra Hybrid.

my wife still 100% but mine already 98%.

damage done already haish

haish... for iphone 7s, worth to change the battery? or just change the phone

I heard the best thing to do is stay away from heat. If you phone panas, off it for a while.

There is no iphone 7s.

yup. the Liquid Air case will make my phone hot. not sure why.

6S plus at 94%

never let it go below 60% unless i dont have any power source. (the more it discharges the more wear is done) my friend got the same phone at the same time as mine but his is at 81% as he always insist on using the battery til <10%

always charged til 100% whenever i can

uses a heatsink when im charging at the desk

battery health at 84% for an iphone 8. consider ok? easily heat up now. (feel warn at the back)
