on Controlling the Battery Charging
Greetings,
Kindly advise if an iPad or an iPhone has a feature to set a maximum percentage for the battery charging.
I’m using an iPad Pro and I’m trying to look for such a feature.
Kindly see below for a (somehow) lengthy “backstory” of this.
The advent of gadgets with a non-detachable battery has definitely changed the course of how should the gadget owners take care of these gadgets in terms of ensuring that the battery lifespan is maximized.
As a “tech savvy,” I’m one of those who believe that a detachable battery design has an advantage when it comes to maintaining the battery lifespan. However, I agree, as well, that the corporations manufacturing electronic devices have considered many approaches (and, likely, let go of some of the advantages of a detachable battery design) when they’ve considered to shift to utilize a non-detachable battery design.
I’m one of those who still believe that a battery that is continuously connected to a main power source even if it’s already fully-charged will likely degrade faster. I’m also still a believer of the concept that a battery that is repetitively being charged to a maximum percentage (i.e. 100%) will “quickly” deteriorate.
To me, unless there are scientifically-proven researches and experiments showing that the aforementioned belief or stand can be ignored or can be abandoned or, even, has been debunked, I’m inclined to still consider them in the set of my guiding principles in maintaining my electronic gadgets.
Of course, I’m not blind to the fact that, sooner or later, a gadget’s battery will really deteriorate. My point is : As a “tech savvy,” when asked, I’m inclined to give tips or advice as to what can a person take into consideration if he/she/they want to ensure that the battery will “survive” until its (projected) end-of-life.
When I was using a gadget with a detachable battery (like a laptop), I periodically use the said gadget without a battery; i.e. connected to the main power source. At times, when the battery is fully-charged, I detach it from the gadget and just use the main power source. As the technology improves, most gadgets have shifted to the non-detachable battery design. With such a design, I’m always trying to find the settings to limit the battery charging to a certain percentage (e.g. 80%, 85%, or around these figures). I’m even considering to periodically use normal charging speed as I believe that a “fast-charging” or “super-fast-charging” approach might also shorten the lifespan of a battery.
I scouted for some references and I found this : About iPad and iPhone Charge Management Feature - Apple Support. However, I cannot seem to see this as a good reference for the iPad Pro that I have.
I hope this community will be able to help me; and, as a bonus, I would love to listen to the opinion of others with regard to the belief that I shared.
Regards,
RRB
