Battery health is a major concern for smartphone users over time. Some iPhone users have reported in the past about having troubles with charging on their phones. Their iPhone would charge up normally to 80%, after which it will stay stuck there for a while. Charging it for a longer period of time does get the battery to trickle a bit, but the time it takes to get to 100% is unacceptable. This is troubling a lot of iPhone users, and if you are also one of them, this article will help you out.
This is not a hardware issue or a software defect. So do not worry about getting your battery replaced. This is actually a new software feature that has been added to iOS and iPadOS. Both these devices come with Lithium-ion batteries, and they deteriorate over time. So Apple has included this optimized charging feature that slows down the device’s charging to ensure that your device is never overcharged. Based on your usage pattern and charging routines, the OS determines when is a good time for your device to be fully charged. But one can disable this feature, and if you are looking for a way to do it, this article will help you out.
How to fix an iPhone battery not charging over 80%?
Always having the battery at 100% takes a toll on it. And users have a habit of charging their phones overnight. So the software disables the charging when the device reaches 80% to preserve it from overcharging. This feature only kicks in based on the usage pattern. If the user has a routine of using the phone throughout the day, the OS will enable charging up the device to 100%. But sometimes, when you don’t want this optimized charging feature to work in the background, and you want your device to charge up normally, you can disable it too.
