8 Essential Tips To Keep Your I Phone's Battery Healthy
1. Avoid extreme temperatures
Lithium-ion batteries are sensitive to extreme temperatures. Apple has also shared an official comfort zone temperature range for iOS devices.
The recommended operating range is 0° C to 35° C (32°F to 95° F). Although, it’s not practically possible as a lot of places have temperatures way beyond the recommended operating range. So, you can either use thick cases to keep them warm or avoid leaving your phone exposed to sunlight on a hot day.
Also, refrain from leaving your iPhone in closed spaces (like cars) where there’s less ventilation as it causes a rise in room temperature. A lot of people leave their phones in their cars or the glove compartment, that raises the phone’s temperature.
2. Avoid completely depleting the battery
Almost all Lithium-ion batteries have a structure like this:(Overcharge Protection Buffer) – [Usable capacity] – (Under-Voltage Protection Buffer) – *Danger Zone* – [Total Cell Failure].
The danger zone is the grimy area from where you could recover but there’s no guarantee of performance after that. As this damages the battery capacity of the iPhone permanently.
4. Use MFi charging accessories only
One of the most common reasons that result in a bad iPhone battery health is the use of charging accessories that are not certified by Apple. Always make sure that both the charging cable and the adapter are MFi certified.
MFi is the abbreviation of Made for iPod, Made for iPhone, and Made for iPad. Only brands that pass Apple’s rigorous device and facility tests can put the MFi logo on their products. So, make sure to always look out for the MFi logo on the charging accessories.
7. Remove cover during charging
Charging generates heat so your iPhone may heat up while charging. If that’s the case, then you should remove your iPhone’s cover to ensure that the heat generated during charging is dissipated properly. Some thick cases and covers trap the heat and that leads the iPhone to heat up unnecessarily while charging.This may result in damaging the battery health. It is most commonly found in thick leather foldable cases which have card pockets and other tiny accessibility features. If you own those big and thick rubber cartoon covers so avoid charging your iPhone in those covers as they heat up your iPhone.
