If you’ve ever wondered how well the battery on your iPhone has aged over time, you may find that checking the battery cycle count can help you get a rough idea of battery health and usage. Knowing how many battery cycles your iPhone has been through can help to determine if the device...
While many don’t understand why this feature is restricted to the iPhone 15 series, perhaps Apple wanted to calculate the battery cycles from the start on a new iPhone. Adding the feature on an older iPhone via an update may require retrieving historical charging data – which may not be ...
Before we find out how to check battery cycles, it’s helpful to understand what a battery cycle is. Put simply, one battery cycle occurs when your Mac’s battery runs down to 0%. Most of us don’t let the battery run down to 0%. So, battery cycles usually occur a bit at a tim...
Whenever you use your MacBook, its battery goes through charge cycles. A charge cycle completes when you use all of the battery's power, but a cycle doesn't need to occur over the course of a single charge. For example, if you recharge your notebook fully after only using 50% of the...
Calibrate iPhone battery Now you're ready to calibrate your iPhone battery. Please be more patience; It'll need several full charge/discharge cycles to complete. Drain iPhone battery completely Drain the iPhone battery completely, make sure there is no battery power left. The right way is to ...
Step 2: Measure the No-load Voltage of the Battery After that, you can measure the no load voltage of the battery by connecting the test lead to the battery terminals directly. It says "no-load" because the input resistance of the multimeter during the voltage measurement is very high, ty...
4. Use third-party app to see MacBook battery cycle Battery cycle count limit of all MacBook models How do you calculate a battery cycle? A battery cycle count is calculated based on the use of all the battery’s power, but not necessarily on a single charge. For example, if your...
"Cycles" is one of those terms that gets thrown around a lot when discussing batteries, but what does it actually mean? Before we define that, we first have to understand exactly how batteries work. A battery contains stored chemical energy that is converted into electrical energy when ...
Your MacBook's battery works through part of a charge cycle every time you use it. The misconception is that you use a cycle count every time you plug in your MacBook to charge. When in fact, charge cycles only count how much battery you've actually drained. ...
According to Apple, the iPhone battery is designed to retain 80% of its maximum capacity by the time it reaches 500 charge cycles. However, if you see a much higher battery cycle count with similar battery health, it means that you have good charging habits and you've preserved the battery...
