iPhone Charging - Best Practices To Get Long Battery Life By zollotech

Hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech, and I wanted to give you some best practices in maximizing your battery's capacity and length over time. Many people ask me almost every day how often I charge when I charge the phone, how to charge the phone, and it's pretty simple, but I wanted to go over some different things now. First, this contains a lithium polymer battery lithium polymer batteries do not have a memory like previous batteries did such as NICAP or nickel cadmium batteries. It doesn't matter at what point you charge it. It won't really ruin the battery. So with nickel cadmium, you could charge them up to 100 percent.

If you charge them at 50, it would pretty much only charge to 50 over time. That's not the case with lithium polymer, so you can charge them if it's at twenty percent at a ninety percent, it really makes no difference, and the next thing is, you cannot calibrate the battery. The battery in an iPhone is not really calibrate. The software does that, for you, it knows when it's fully charged, it knows when it's fully discharged and then basically calibrates itself, based on that, you can't really set it in a calibration mode and drain it all the way and charge it. That makes no difference.

I know a lot of people tell you otherwise, but according to apple themselves, there's no need to do that, and my experience has shown there is no need to do that. It will make no difference now. One thing to know is, after two years of use apple says: you should have at least eighty percent of your battery life. Now this is not always the case, but if we go to this app here, lyrics info lite, we can actually see the battery life over time and right here this says battery wear level. Now this is almost one year old, and you'll see right here.

It says the current battery capacity is at 96.55 percent. That means that's. How much is remaining after a year of daily use and what I normally charge with is an iPad charger that tends to charge it faster it. It will not shorten your battery lifespan, it's not that powerful to do that really, and this is the normal iPhone charger you've got if you've got an iPad one. You can charge with that.

I charge with this all the time and since the first iPad came out, that is all I've ever charged. My iPhones with I very rarely use this, and I very rarely use anything other than official apple adapters and there are some battery packs I've used from different companies when I'm on the go, maybe to charge, but most of the time, almost 99 of the time. I'm using this to charge and many people ask me when to charge the battery, and it really makes no difference. I actually charge it. When I go to bed, I leave it plugged in I wake up, I unplug it, and it doesn't matter because you can't overcharge the battery.

The battery is managed by the phone's software and hardware and it actually once it hits 100 percent it shuts off. It does not allow it to keep charging the phone, because you would ruin your battery that way it's managed through the phone. So you can't overcharge it now. You can drain it all the way down and then charge it, but it really makes no difference. If I'm on the go and I need battery, I plug it in if I'm at eighty percent I plug it in my car, it will charge all the way up.

It makes no difference how you do that many people have been told otherwise, and I'm not sure where that's coming from, but over the many iPhones plug it in when you need to unplug it when you're done it won't make a difference. You don't ever need to monitor it. You don't need to look at it. It makes no difference whatsoever now. One of the other things, though, if you want to maximize battery life and lifespan, is to make sure you're up-to-date with software, but also the main thing is to avoid extreme temperatures so 62 to 72 degrees, Fahrenheit or 16 to 22 degrees Celsius.

Those are the optimal temperatures for the iPhone, and obviously you can't be in those temperatures at all times, but basically apple says if you can avoid 95 or higher in Fahrenheit or 35 degrees Celsius or higher and where I live. Sometimes it's 100 degrees outside all the time, and you can't really avoid it. But when you can,, it's probably a good idea, you're going from your car to an air-conditioned building, that's fine, that's not a big deal, and it will actually shut off and overheat if it does that to save itself from actually killing the battery. So if it gets too hot, it gives you an overhead message shuts the screen off, and you can't use it until it comes down in temperature. Now, there's also a flip side of that lower than 32 degrees, Fahrenheit or zero degrees Celsius can also be bad for the battery and actually will cause it to drain faster and that's just something.

Putting your battery in a freezer doesn't necessarily extend its life. It's actually bad for over time or actually will drain your battery faster in the iPhone. So that's just something and that's coming straight from apple. That's what they've actually said. Another thing to extend the longevity of your phone is to take it out of a case when you're charging, and that doesn't mean every case.

It means cases that are sealed, maybe a lightproof case or something like that. That's constantly sealed it may get too hot. So if the back gets really hot, when you're charging that's what apple suggests is take it out of the case when you're actually charging it. So if you're charging it the back's, really warm, and it's in a case, and you're noticing that take it out of the case for a little until it's done charging, and then it will be fine. That's actually apple's recommendation now.

Finally, if you're planning to store your old iPhone, you want to leave it at 50 charge. So right now, I'm at 34. You ideally want to leave it at 50 according to apple, if you're going to leave it in any storage, that sort of thing getting rid of an old iPhone, leave it at 50 charge and leave it in a cool dry place. That's less than 90 degrees, Fahrenheit or 32 degrees Celsius. If you're going to do that, you need to come back every six months or so and top it off to about 50 percent.

It can go 50, 60 percent, but apple recommends that if you're going to do that over time, you really need to be careful and keep it at 50 percent to optimize the battery over time. If you don't do that, and it drains all the way down, it goes to a point where it really needs to be charged again. Apple will have it charged 20 minutes before. Just the software built in is how it's designed. Then it will power back on.

So if it's gotten to that really low power state now I'll leave a link to all of these tips in the description below. This is actually straight from apple, many of their maximizing battery life and lifespan tips, and I use my phone differently than many others. I've done different videos on that, and I get pretty good battery life over time and my battery has lasted really well over time, and I've had no issues whatsoever. My battery life today, I'm at 34 percent and I have five hours and 50 minutes usage, 15 hours and 15 minutes of standby, so I tend to get pretty good battery life and that's all I do when I go to bed at night, I plug it into the iPad charger. When I wake up, I unplug it if I'm down during the day, even to 50 70, and I want to plug it in, it- makes no difference I'll just plug it in it won't make a difference whatsoever, it's fully regulated by the phone itself.

That's it for the tips on maximizing your battery life and charging it. Let me know if you've had any other experiences, though in the comments below, if you haven't subscribed already, please subscribe and like as always thanks for watching this is Aaron I'll, see you next time you.
