How do you know when to change your battery?

How do you know when to change your battery? The i batteryPhone It is essential for the device to function properly and is what guarantees its functionality throughout the day. However, its malfunction can cause many problems.

However, Apple admitted that, with the time of use of the battery, O performance of the device is reducedTherefore, the new iOS updates promise features containing more information about the battery.

In the meantime, we've put together some tips to help you identify possible battery problems, as well as knowing when to change it and how it works.

Lithium Ions

However, iPhone devices have a battery made with lithium ions. This technology promises better performance for the device.

In fact, through advanced engineering, the iPhone battery was developed to be lighter, compared to the old ones, to last longer and load more fast

All rechargeable batteries have limited useful life. This means that, at some point, they will have to exchanger to avoid reducing the capacity of the device.

In this post, we'll show you the signs that indicate it's time to change your iPhone's battery.

How and when to change?

In fact, it is not that easy to find out when to change the battery. The best option is not to let it reach the minimum capacity level, which is 40%. After that, she starts harm income of the device.

In fact, the Battery Life app, available for free on the Apple Store for iOS, shows important data about your battery's health. In addition to showing the duration before charging and the level of deterioration, Battery Life informs you about cycles, temperature and voltage.

What happens to the iPhone battery

At the end of last year, Apple confirmed the information that the use of the battery and its chemical aging interfere with the performance of the iPhone.

In fact, as a justification, the company states that the battery gets worse over time and, especially with a low charge, loses its ability to provide peaks of energy, potentially turning off the device unexpectedly.

To prevent this from happening, the iPhone battery has a protection. Disabling this protection, although possible, is not recommended by Apple.

Battery Health

So the new iPhone setting shows “battery health”. Apple guarantees 80% autonomy in up to 500 cycles of the battery. If the capacity is lower, the tool will warn you.

1. To access the feature, update your iPhone's iOS. Search for the option Battery Health (Beta) in Settings; Battery. By default, the tool is disabled.

If the performance is not great, the Peak Performance Capability should display the warning saying that the supply is normal.

However, the performance control tool also measures the maximum battery capacity, which refers to the device's performance compared to when the battery was new.

With good battery health and factory protection disabled, the device will run faster. However, as the iPhone battery ages, the cell phone may turn off before the charge reaches 0%.

The 500 cycles

However, the battery is guaranteed to function properly for up to 500 cycles. To find out how many cycles your iPhone battery has used, go to Settings > Battery.

In fact, if a problem is detected, the message“Battery may need repair” will appear on the screen. If nothing appears, your battery is still working perfectly.

However, if your device has a charging problem and no repair information appears, your battery most likely has a defect that is not related to the cycles.

If your cell phone is on 1 year warranty offered by Apple or if you are a customer AppleCare+, the iPhone battery can be changed free at an authorized store.

Signs that the battery is compromising the development of the device

However, as the iPhone's battery ages, the cell phone's development is being compromised. Some problems with the device may arise due to the battery, for example:

• You applications take time more to start.

• The iPhone turns off by itself. The device switches off automatically when it reaches 0%. However, if your iPhone battery is having problems, it may suddenly shut down with different battery levels.

• You are receiving messages from iOS warning you that something is wrong. Alerts appear when detected that the power output can no longer support a full load.

• The battery swells or overheats. This means that the iPhone battery is working harder than it should. It may be time to change it.

• There is darkening of the Backlight.

• O volume speaker is lower.

• However, background applications have to be reloaded frequently.

What is not affected

However, some applications and some functions work independently of battery problems, such as:

• Apple Pay, which is the digital wallet from Apple.

• Location accuracy and GPS.

• Signs of internet and telephone mobile.

• Quality of photos and videos captured by camera iPhone.

Tips to make your battery last longer:

• ANDvite expose the device to extreme temperatures. The ideal is between 16 and 22 ºC.

• Take the device out of the case when placing it to charge. This prevents overheating.

• No put the iPhone to charge unnecessarily. Even though there is no longer the risk of making the battery last less, as in the past, the practice is not legal for optimal battery functioning.

• Finally, if the device is going to be left unused for a long time, leave it with at least 50% load.
