How do I maintain battery health while playing video games on iPhone?

My battery health is reducing continuously I think because of playing vedio games. Can I maximize the time period so I can use this for more time period?

The harder you make your battery work, the more often you need to charge your battery. And the more you charge your battery, the faster Battery Health declines. Battery Health only goes one direction and that is down. When the health of your battery declines to 80% or less, it will then be time to pay Apple to replace the battery.


You shouldn't let the battery fully deplete or go below 20%. You should charge it every night, ALL night with Optimized Charging turned on. Read this as well --> Batteries - Maximizing Performance - Apple
