battery health decreasing fast

i got an xs max passed down to me and its battery health was on 86% when i received it. im using an ipad adaptor & third party charger cord. it was all okay for the first month of using it and it was still 86. i recently checked my battery health (after not checking it for about 3 weeks because i wanted to not have anxiety 🤣) and i was so shocked to find it on 81%. i do admit i have been using my phone a little bit too much (and seeing tiktok is draining all of my battery) but i checked it again today and now it’s on 80%. does anyone have advice to maybe slow it from decreasing too quickly? i really plan on having this phone for a long time

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.


As your Battery Health is now at 80%, it's time for a replacement. Contact Apple Support for service options.

Only go to Apple, an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or send your device to Apple for service (if applicable or available). Do not go to a 3rd party/unauthorized repair center or attempt a repair yourself. This is for the assurance of authorized and professional repairs that use genuine Apple parts. Please refer to this from Apple Support:


Beware of counterfeit parts
Some counterfeit and third party power adapters and batteries may not be designed properly and could result in safety issues. To ensure you receive a genuine Apple battery during a battery replacement, we recommend visiting an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider. If you need a replacement adapter to charge your Apple device, we recommend getting an Apple power adapter.
Also non-genuine replacement displays may have compromised visual quality and may fail to work correctly. Apple-certified screen repairs are performed by trusted experts who use genuine Apple parts.
