The correct way your iPhone is charged is essential to keep your battery healthy and last longer. Here are some official recommendations and best practices:
1.*Turn on the "Optimized Battery Charging" feature**
Apple's system can learn the user's charging habits. When this feature is turned on, the system records when the user usually charges and automatically slows down the charging speed when the charge reaches 80% so that the battery can complete the charging process at low temperatures. This helps to reduce battery aging and extend the life of the battery.
2.*Avoid using your phone while charging**:
Performing high-intensity tasks at the same time, such as playing games, watching**, or making calls, while the phone is charging, can increase the burden on the battery and cause it to overheat. Although occasional use does not cause significant effects, it is recommended to minimize the use of the phone while charging for the sake of battery health.
3.*Choose the right charger**:
Although Apple phones support fast charging up to 20W, using too high charging power may cause the battery to overheat, which can affect battery health. Apple's official recommendation for the best option is a 5W charger, as a slower charging speed helps reduce heat generation and stress on the battery.
4.*Avoid full discharge**:
Although modern smartphones are designed not to require a full discharge again, a fully discharged battery can still accelerate battery aging. Therefore, it is recommended to start charging when the battery level drops below 20%.
5.*Use original charger and cable**:
Non-original chargers and data cables may not provide stable and sufficient current, which may damage the battery or reduce charging efficiency.
6.*Charge at the right temperature**:
Charging a battery in an overheated or overcold condition is not good for battery health. The optimal charging temperature is generally between room temperature (0 to 35 degrees Celsius).
7.*Check the battery health status regularly**
You can check the health of your battery by setting up the battery section in the app. If you notice that your battery's health is deteriorating quickly, you may need to visit a professional repair service to have your battery inspected or replaced.
The above suggestions can help users better maintain the Apple phone battery, extend the life of the battery, and maintain the performance of the phone. Following proper charging and maintenance habits can effectively reduce battery aging and make the device more stable and reliable.
