is it better to charge iphone 13 pro every night with optimised night charging on or is it better to charge my phone at random times but limit charge between 20%-80%? which option would be the best to keep or maximise the battery health at 100%?
iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18
You’re not going to keep it at 100%.
Batteries naturally lose their ability to hold a charge with age and use. There is no way to stop that..
Set the charging to whatever works best for you and don’t stress over it. When the battery health hits 80%, get the battery replaced.

Batteries, like people are individuals. No two people age exactly the same and batteries don’t age the same either. The exact usage, chemical makeup, storage conditions, exposure to heat and cold and about a dozen other factors mean that every battery ages differently. Battery aging is not a linear (straight line) and degrades at different rates as the chemicals in the battery age and other factors mentioned above. The graph below shows the 4 batteries that were recharged differently and look how differently the batteries capacity changed with age. There is nothing linear in the aging process.
Apple expects your battery health to be at 80% after 24 months. If your battery health misses that expectation, contact Apple Support.

Enable Optimized Battery Charging in the battery settings.....and connect the power supply to the phone at night and leave it connected all night.....every night.
I'll get more than 4 years of use from my current battery by doing this, when the battery was designed to go about 2 years before needing a replacement.
My opinion.....If your phone has options to set a battery limit, I would ignore that since limits require that you charge the battery more often......so more wear and tear that way.
Thanks for your quick reply. I know that I can’t stop that battery health from going down but which way is better to at least get more usage of the battery before replacing?
