😕 Battery life has taken a steep decline lately and even showing incorrect %. When I was at 9% I plugged it in and 3 minutes later it said 22%.
iPhone 6 Plus, null
I don't know what "battery health at 82%" means (in your post's title).
If there is a defect with your battery, it would be covered (assuming it is not due to some user-caused event).
About all you can do is bring your iPhone to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Center and let the technician evaluate your iPhone and advisee you how to proceed.
I added a link to a pic of what the Battery Life aapp says. I swear this site hates me lol I've had to edit my posts a few times already.
I have a 6S+ that's six months old and has 7% battery wear on it. Apple refused to even talk about the fact that, even before it hit 50 charge cycles, the battery was showing this wear. Until / unless the battery tests by their system show it as "Consumed", they won't do anything about it under warranty.
So 83% is considered a-okay to Apple? TThat's a bummer is there a percentage they do care around?
I don't trust those battery apps. Most of them actually insert some strange process on the device identified by Chinese characters. As indicated by sberman and the other poster, the device has to have decreased to below 50% capacity in the warranty period. You can actually do the battery check via chat and email with Apple. If you click on the support link, then select you have a battery question, they will email you a link. You click on the link and it will run a battery diagnostic on the device and provide you with a report.
JJesus it has to have decreased to 50% or below? That's like saying I need my home to be 50% on fire for my insurance to cover damages. Bad enough there's a charge for AppleCare+ services.
I'm skeptical of all of the "use this to make your battery last longer" apps.
Battery Life reads the chip on the battery to understand how many charge cycles have been recorded and how the battery is performing compared to its initial max charge capacity. I find it to be very accurate as Apple's tests have confirmed all information I've gathered with that app to be accurate.
It has a lot to do with charge cycles, as you know. If there are a high number of charge cycles, it is assumed the battery life will be lower. However if battery charge cycles are low and there is low life, it could be determined there is a problem. I just know to have the battery replaced, it has to have a low capacity level remaining. So, if there is a thought that the capacity is getting lower for no apparent reason, then have Apple diagnose the battery. They will tell you if it warranty replacement.
Thought so myself. it's nothing fancy just basic data and no power saving gimmicks to lure me in, just the data needed.
K, guessing I just call the normal APplecare number and then plug my phone in?
(This site seems to hate iPhones when posting, it's not using auto correct and random capitalization)
The problem with double capitalization and letters at the beginning of a post when using an iOS device has been a problem with the Jive software being used for the ASC. It has been around for a while, and has not been corrected. Don't worry, many of us are used to it.
I would think you would start here:
iPhone Battery & Power - Official Apple Support
Go to "Start a Service Request" at the bottom.
That's disappointing and weird its ignored. But thanks for the heads up, I thought I was loosing lol.
TThanks I'll do it when I get home. Looks like my phone really hates the script the site uses. 😕😁
Battery replacements are covered under warranty if the battery retains less than 80% original capacity. This is stated in the link provided by sberman. It used to be 50%, which obviously made a lot of people upset.
I've got an iPhone 6+ covered by AppleCare+ with battery health at 82% is the battery covered for replacement?
