Does a Maximum Capacity of 92% Battery Health impact on the performance of my iPhone XR or should I consider getting a new battery?

Hi RossNSW,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. At 92%, your iPhone performance should not be impacted by your battery health. This information from iPhone Battery and Performance helps explain a bit further.


"A normal battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 500 complete charge cycles when operating under normal conditions. The one-year warranty includes service coverage for a defective battery. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers battery service for a charge. Learn more about charge cycles.


As your battery health degrades, so can its ability to deliver peak performance. The Battery Health screen includes a section for Peak Performance Capability where the following messages may appear."


Take care.
