Have you ever wondered how you can extend the lifespan of your iPhone's battery? Well, you're in luck because Apple has introduced a new feature called Optimized Battery Charging for its devices running iOS 13. This feature aims to help you get the most out of your battery by intelligently managing how your device charges, reducing the wear and tear on the battery over time.
Optimized Battery Charging works by using machine learning algorithms to learn your daily charging routine. Your iPhone will analyze your charging habits and adapt to them to prevent overcharging, a common cause of battery degradation. By understanding when you typically charge your device and how long it remains plugged in, your iPhone can avoid keeping the battery at maximum charge for prolonged periods, which can stress the battery and reduce its capacity over time.
When Optimized Battery Charging is enabled, your iPhone will slow down the charging process once it reaches 80% battery level. This helps prevent the battery from staying at a high charge level for an extended period, which can cause strain on the battery cells. Instead, your device will delay completing the charge until it predicts you will need it at full capacity, based on your charging patterns. This feature aims to complete the charge just in time for when you usually unplug your device for daily use.
If you are concerned about missing out on a fully charged battery due to this feature, don't worry! You can always override the optimized charging by simply unplugging your device and charging it to 100% manually. This flexibility allows you to fully charge your iPhone when you know you will need it for a longer period without compromising the effectiveness of Optimized Battery Charging in the long run.
It's essential to note that while Optimized Battery Charging can help extend your iPhone's battery lifespan, it is not a magic solution to prevent all battery degradation. Over time, all batteries degrade naturally with usage, and factors like temperature and how often you charge your device also play a role in your battery's health.
To enable Optimized Battery Charging on your iPhone, go to Settings, then Battery, and finally Battery Health. You can toggle the switch for Optimized Battery Charging to start taking advantage of this feature and better preserve your battery's health.
By using Optimized Battery Charging, you can make a small adjustment to your charging habits that can have a significant impact on prolonging the lifespan of your iPhone's battery. Give it a try and enjoy a healthier and longer-lasting battery on your beloved device!
