iPhone 16 battery charge
I set my battery charge to 80% and for a month it charged only up to 80%.
Now it started to charge up to 100% while I did not change the settings.
Why?
What should I do to fix this problem?
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
Question marked as
According to Apple's Support documentation, the battery will charge up to 100% "occasionally". The big question here might be how often "occasionally" might be.
When I tried the 80% Limit for a few months as an experiment, "occasionally" could be as often as 3-4 times a month.
So....my opinion.....the 80% Limit is more of a gimmick than anything else. I have to charge the battery more often using this setting and it does not make it through the day often enough for me.
I get much better performance with the battery starting at 100% each day. If the 80% limit might provide a few more months of battery life....in theory.....frankly I could care less.
What should I do to fix this problem?
You might consider doing what I am doing.......and ignore the 80% Limit setting.
