Why You Shouldn't Charge An iPhone To 100%

  • Many iPhone users like to charger their device to 100%. Likely since it’s a satisfying number that ensures your device will last as long as possible. But it’s not something Apple says you should do on a regular basis, and I’ll explain why in this video.

      Yes, it is a choice, some will prefer to baby their battery and some will smack it as hard as they can? No problem either way if you understand what you are doing. My XS Max is at 95% after nearly three years and there was little hardship maintaining a healthy battery charging routine.

    There’s almost no real way to keep yourself from charging your battery up to 100 percent. I think depending on what kinda day is ahead of you charging to 100 percent makes perfect sense to me.

      Lol I almost never charge to 100%, no problem with that. One thing you can do is charge only as much as you need to have 20% left at the end of the day (that serves as an "emergency" reserve). Anything more than that isn't necessary. And of course, sometimes you need 100%, or you might just not want to think about that, that's fine. There are more and more phones which can take care of themselves;) It's always a trade-off between the short- and long-term needs.

    Remember also that extreme temperatures can cause battery degradation too, so if you can avoid it don't use your phone too much in direct sunlight, don't bury it under snow etc. At the end of the day you're more than likely to buy a new phone at some point in the future so just enjoy the devices you have whilst you have them and don't worry yourself about it. I got an M1 MacBook Pro and was very concerned with battery degradation for the first week or so but then realised that everything ages and there's nothing you can do to prevent it, plus it gets in the way of your enjoyment. Also, you can get a battery replacement if you have to. :)

I charge it when it’s at 0%/15% all the way to full charge. I only use it for watching UA-cam and music. I got the iPhone 13 pro Max when it came out and used it for gps, web, games, and watching at full brightness, and it’s at 97% battery life.

    Basically, what he said in the video is right (kinda).
    Don't use your phone extensively when it's below 20%. That will most definitely degrade the battery. Because your battery at this stage gets really hot as it pushes to deliver power.
    But it's perfectly fine to charge it to 100%.. but just don't leave it plugged in at 100%. That's exactly what optimized battery charging tries to prevent.

There is this super good video explains why your battery health is still at 100% after a year. Like yes this does slightly help but whatever you do the battery health will always drop from the amount of charge cycles.

    I've never understood the logic of protecting your battery's capacity by not using your battery's capacity. And I really don't think that it makes as much of a difference as some people think. I've always just charged and discharged my mobile devices however I want, almost always charging all the way to 100% when I can, and I've never had to replace a battery. My launch day 12 Pro Max is still saying 100% capacity. Your battery should remain in good health for years no matter what you do, unless you go out of your way to abuse it by exposing it to extreme temperatures on a regular basis.

    Y’all are thinking too much this. It’s true that you shouldn’t let your phone die, or go below 20%. But charging it to 80% it’s the same as charging it to 100%. Apple themselves explain that the battery works in fully charging and discharging patterns. So, if one day you use 60% of your battery, and the next one only 40%, you did a full battery cycle, it doesn’t matter at what percentage you started using it, and at what percentage you stopped. It keeps counting for those 100% full cycles. And for Gods sake, we are in 2022. New chargers and batteries just stop altogether the charging once they’re full. If you leave your phone charging overnight, it won’t keep charging again and again. It will just stop and don’t let any additional power to get in the battery. And the optimized charging it’s even smarter, it stops at 85% in the middle of the night, and based on your use, charges the percentage left minutes before you start using your phone, it usually guides by alarms and stuff. So stop being so damn fixated over a battery. It’s obvious it will discharge and lose capacity over time. It’s a battery, not the Holy Grail

And I´m almost sure your phone will turn itself off some time before the battery really reaches 0% of charging - due to avoid the deep drain issue.

    As a longtime Tesla owner, can confirm this is true. 40%-80% is ideal. HOWEVER, I don't agree that this is important in the context of a smartphone. The extra few minutes of battery life you might get with a better battery health percentage is not worth the amount of effort it takes to constantly worry about unplugging your iPhone at 80% or rushing to find a charger at 39%. The battery in iPhone will work just fine for many years, even as the health drops below 80%. By the time it's worth worrying about, you can simply replace the battery or upgrade your iPhone, which you were going to do anyways if you watch UA-cam channels like this one.

    There’s no message suggesting one should remove their device from power to discharge it to “improve” battery health. The screenshot you showed at 1:38 was for low power mode, a message that appears when the user reaches 20% battery charge remaining. The iPhone doesn’t “automatically” start throttling anything at 20% unless the user enables “Low Power Mode”. The iPhone (and iPad) do throttle at 2-3% though. You’ll notice dropped frame rates when scrolling through web pages and opening apps as well as the device getting extremely slow until it dies.

    Another explanation is the fact that when you charge above 80% or discharge below 20%, you are forcing the Lithium ions to be concentrated in one of the anode (above 80%) or cathode (below 20%) parts of the battery. The high concentration will drive an irreversible reaction between the lithium ions and the materials for the anode/cathode, consuming the lithium ions needed to store charge, which will decrease the battery overall capacity.
    Therefore, lithium ion batteries degrades the fastest when it is kept at 100% or 0% for long periods of time, which is why there is this advice of keeping the battery charge level between 80% and 20%. Also ideally one should store devices at about 50% if they are not going to be used for a long time to minimise battery degradation.
    I realised not a lot of tech UA-camrs brought this up about keeping battery charge balanced, so I just leave this info here for anyone who still don't understand why keeping it at 100% degrades your battery faster.

    • @billyb7465
      @billyb7465 2 роки тому

      Here's the thing that confuses me about that: how do we know what 80% of the battery *really* is? I always hear that above 80%/below 20% is bad, but wouldn't that be 80%/20% of the actual total battery capacity-not just the limited capacity the phone shows? Remember, the phone does not use the entire battery; there are safety limits put in place. So what we see as 100% on our screen, is not actually the battery's 100%.

    • @Henry-vz5hh
      @Henry-vz5hh 2 роки тому +1

      ​@@billyb7465 Percentages are just an estimate, true battery energy is indicated by voltage. Most manufacturers consider 4.2 volts to indicate a fully charged lithium-ion battery. Most research indicates that lithium-ion batteries have a "sweet spot" voltage near 4.0 volts, meaning charging past that point causes significant stress that increases more and more as the voltage rises. However, Apple charges their batteries to 4.4 volts.
      The thing is, lithium-ion batteries don't really have a true 100%, they just have whatever voltage the manufacturer decides should be the stop point for charging. That's why Apple is able to charge to 4.4 volts even though the standard for lithium-ion is 4.2 volts.
      So regarding your question of knowing what 80% really is, it's not really possible to know exactly. The good news is, that doesn't change what we know about best practices: if we charge to whatever Apple calls "80%" it will be very beneficial to the battery in comparison to charging to what they call 100%, because we know that Apple's "100%" is a voltage above the normal lithium-ion max voltage of 4.2 volts and far above the "sweet spot" lithium-ion voltage of near 4.0 volts.
      Apple's batteries are protected by charging circuits. The latest iPhones reach what they call "0%" near 3.2 volts and the phone automatically turns off at that point. Then, it operates in a reserve power mode, presumably until the battery becomes nearly empty at 3.0 volts. So it's true that the phone is not actually at 0% when it says it is, and it's true that it's above what most would consider to be 100% when it says it's at 100%, but none of this really impacts the principle discussed because the numbers are relative; charging from 20% to 80% is much better for the battery health than charging from 0% to 100%, ensuring that the battery always has a better max capacity than it otherwise would have.
      I recommend setting up an automation in the Shortcuts app. That way, no thought or effort is required to stop charging at 80% or 90%.

    • @nickwallette6201
      @nickwallette6201 3 роки тому +1

      It's the exact same battery chemistry, and so the exact same care-and-feeding rules apply.
      As to why a battery can drain while plugged in, there are basically two reasons for that:
      1) Charged state for Li-Ion cells is usually based on an educated guess. The charge controller (or the monitoring and safety controls built into the pack itself) keep track of the cell's current total capacity. This diminishes over time, so an _occasional_ complete charge/discharge cycle can help re-calibrate it by allowing the controller to see the extremes of completely charged and completely discharged (aka, the total capacity.)
      When the device is running on battery, it samples the load current being drawn from the battery at regular intervals and averages it to a figure of mA per Hour, or mAH. If you know the total capacity in mAH, and the running total of _consumed_ capacity in mAH, you essentially know the percentage used and available. Same goes while charging -- but with mAH in, rather than mAH out.
      The correct way to charge a Li-Ion cell is to dump power into it at _no more_ than a certain current. (The larger the cell, given a certain chemistry of cell, typically the higher rate of current you can safely consume and charge at.) As you dump current into the cell, the cell's voltage will rise. Once the cell charges up to a particular voltage, you either terminate the charge, or reduce the current until the voltage rises to a maximum cell voltage. Then you stop charging completely. (Any more transforms the cell into a pyrotechnics device.)
      This is all done by the controller, BTW - you don't have to be aware that this is happening, since expecting the user to unplug the device exactly when it's done charging is a fire waiting to happen.
      So, if the charge controller notices that the cell voltage is rising to its Constant-Current to Constant-Voltage transition period before the point it expected, based on calculated charged percentage, then it knows the cell is charged up to a higher percentage than it estimated. This could be because the cell's total capacity is less than expected. Likewise, if the voltage is NOT rising when expected to, it could be that the cell is at a LOWER percentage than anticipated. And so, this discrepancy can be reflected by a "backwards" movement in charged (or discharged) percentage, or a sudden jump in either direction.
      I.e., if the battery percentage changes in a non-intuitive way, it could just mean that the charge controller is adjusting its awareness of battery capacity and/or charge level, based on data collected while charging or discharging.
      2) Particularly now that we're using USB C, rather than bespoke chargers, you may not have a power supply capable of supplying the entirety of the computer's operating load while still being able to charge the battery. It's nice to be able to charge a laptop from a phone or tablet power brick, but that lower-power brick is physically limited, and isn't going to be capable of charging as fast, or while under load. So, even if you're plugged in, it may not be charging. But, it should still be _reducing_ the discharge rate, compared to running from battery alone.

    apple has controlled max charging buffering for years. batteries have to discharge a little and charge back up to stay healthy, but they also have a discharge /recharge elasticity that lowers capacitance after 500+ full cycles (a full cycle being 100% to 0%). Letting your phone naturally charge up to 100% and having apple control those last few percentages will get you the best bang for your effort on your iPhone. This is different than say, non-apple Bluetooth headphones, camera batteries, and other chargeable electronics where you don't want to let it sit with a high charge when not using it, or let it sit on a charger non stop.

    - Try to prevent it from getting excessively hot (for me this usually happens if I mount my phone to my car to use the GPS, because when the GPS is on, the screen is usually on too, and then because of how it is mounted, the back of the phone is often being baked by the sun). Find a way to mount it so the sun doesn't beat on it's back, and / or only use the audio of the GPS and turn off the screen and place it away from direct sunlight.

      No, as said in the video, you can leave it plugged in and it will charge to 80%, wait as long as possible and charge to 100% just before you need it. Idk how it exactly works, maybe you can limit the max charge to 80%.
      I usually charge my Android phone in the evening and in the morning if necessary.

      @@joelee1195 based on other comments, there's an option to limit the max charge to 80%. What it's doing currently is just waiting with topping up the final 20% until some 20 mins before you unplug it. If you need 100%, that's the best option you have, if you don't, you can set the limit.

    But if keep charging it every time it hits 40, and unplugging at 80, which might be a few times a day, won’t that reduce the number of charging cycles the battery can endure ? Typically lithium ion batteries can least about 600-700 charging cycle give or take a couple hundred so if I’m doing it three times a day instead of once won’t that reduce overall life ?

      I think charge cycles means from 0 to 100%

      Hello, charge cycles actually mean charging from 0 to 100%. For example, you charge it from 40%-60%, 50%-70%, 60%-80%, 30%-50% and 50%-70%, it is one charge cycle. O

    I’ve had my iPhone XR for almost 3 years. I’ve charged it to 100% every night and down to 10% almost every day and sometimes charging it back up to 100% twice in a day with heavy use and regularly have it down to 0%. My battery health is 90%. I’d say this is overkill to worry about.
