IPhone XR battery health

I brought iPhone XR in October 2019. Within 3 months of time battery health was showing 96%. Now in 9 months time battery health is 95%. Is it normal?. I used to charge my phone whenever it reaches 40% and charge up to 100% most of the time

iPhone XR, iOS 13

vinodpathiyappara,


Thank you for responding. Currently, there is no indication on the iPhone that shows the exact number of charge cycles left since this is reflected in the battery health percentage: Why Lithium-ion?


"Charge your Apple lithium-ion battery whenever you want. There’s no need to let it discharge 100% before recharging. Apple lithium-ion batteries work in charge cycles. You complete one charge cycle when you’ve used (discharged) an amount that equals 100% of your battery’s capacity — but not necessarily all from one charge. For instance, you might use 75% of your battery’s capacity one day, then recharge it fully overnight. If you use 25% the next day, you will have discharged a total of 100%, and the two days will add up to one charge cycle. It could take several days to complete a cycle. The capacity of any type of battery will diminish after a certain amount of recharging. With lithium-ion batteries, the capacity diminishes slightly with each complete charge cycle. Apple lithium-ion batteries are designed to hold at least 80% of their original capacity for a high number of charge cycles, which varies depending on the product".
