Hi Nekan91,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I see you have a question about your Lightning to USB cable authenticity, and I'd like to help out.


The information shown on your cable is exactly as it should be for an Apple Lightning to USB cable, as shown here:

Identify counterfeit or uncertified Lightning connector accessories


The cable's serial number is not associated with your Apple ID account, like an iPhone serial number is, so it won't produce any results if searched at Check Your Service and Support Coverage.


Take care!

Hey Nekan91,


Thanks for the reply, and additional info. We appreciate it!


I can understand your question, as battery health is important. However, as long as the battery health is not below 80%, your battery is good. Below 80%, and it's time to get the battery replaced. Here's more information about battery health:

Here's some good information About Optimized Battery Charging on your iPhone.


if you want to see how apps are using the battery on your iPhone, this is a great article: About the battery usage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


I hope this information helps out!


Enjoy your day!
