Why does my iPhone lose it’s charge so quickly?

Hi duansito.

There can be a number of reasons why your iPhone loses its charge quickly. It can be that the iPhone is not up to date with software updates, that the iPhone suffers from deep discharge cycles or it can even loose its battery more quickly by performing high intensive tasks, by running complicated apps.

Refer to the Following:

A. Extremely-Low Charge:

If the battery percentage state bar (top-right of screen) is yellow, then the battery needs to be charged, ASAP.

B. View the Battery Health:

Apple recommends you get a new battery, once the Battery Health reaches 80% or lower. When the Battery Health is 80% or lower, it is time for a new battery.

1. Go To: Settings
2. Tap: Battery
3. Tap: Battery Health
4. View: [the percentage]
5. Is it 80% or less?  If so, it is time for a new battery.

Please define “so quickly”. If you charge the phone overnight, every night, it should not need to be charged before the next night. If your phone does not pass this test either you are a very heavy user, or your phone’s battery has lost capacity.

Batteries are consumables; they lose a little capacity every time they are discharged, then recharged. On average this works out to about a 1% loss for every 25 “full charge cycles”. As one example, if you charge the phone overnight, every night (and that is what you should do; it is a best practice), it starts the day at 100%. If it drops to 20% by the end of the day before you charge it again overnight that counts as 0.8 full charge cycles (20% to 100%), or about 24 full charge cycles per month of use. For this example your battery capacity will lose about 1% per month. Of course, if the end-of-day level is higher than 20% the capacity loss will be a little less, and if it is lower than 20%, or you charge it during the day, the capacity loss will be higher.
