About 80% Limit with iPhone 15 models

With iPhone 15 models, you can choose between Optimized Battery Charging, 80% Limit, and None.

When you choose 80% Limit, your iPhone will charge up to about 80 percent and then stop charging. If the battery charge level gets down to 75 percent, charging will resume until your battery charge level reaches about 80 percent again.

With 80% Limit enabled, your iPhone will occasionally charge to 100 percent to maintain accurate battery state-of-charge estimates.

why??

As stated already by muguy:

Is it stopping at 88% when left on the charger or did you stop charging when it went to 88%? It should go to the full 100% occasionally even when set on the 80% Limit.

Yes… same thing happened with my phone. Even there is sudden surge in cycle counts.

cycle count is When you use your iPhone, its battery goes through charge cycles. You complete one charge cycle when you've used an amount that represents 100 per cent of your battery's capacity.

when we set battery level 80%, the cycle count should not increase ..

Is this happening purposely to decrease the battery health?

When using my iPhone 15 Pro Max, and with charging limited to 80%, I've noticed the following:


  • When using official charging cable - phone gets to 80% and maintains this. Charging icon still appears though.
  • When using a non apple magsafe battery pack - same as above.


Does anyone else's still show the charging symbol when at 80%? is it normal?


I thought the phone was to stop taking a charge and only start charging again at 75%
