iPhone 15 users can set Charge Limit for battery health

You can extend your iPhone's battery life by not charging it to 100%. Most modern smartphones can last a full day on a single charge. Instead of focusing on daily battery life, it is better to consider how long the battery remains healthy over time. Keeping the battery at a full charge can cause stress and reduce its lifespan. If you have an iPhone, it may already be using a feature called Optimized Battery Charging. This tool helps protect your battery by learning your charging habits and delaying full charges until morning. For iPhone 15 and newer models, you can use another feature called Charge Limit. This allows you to set a maximum percentage for charging, between 80% and 100%. This feature helps reduce strain on your battery while still giving you control over its charge. Apple suggests that using Charge Limit can benefit your battery’s lifespan. Even charging to 95% can be good for long-term health. However, if your phone does charge to 100% occasionally, it is not a major concern. Experts acknowledge that various factors influence battery health beyond just reaching full charge. The Charge Limit may not prevent your iPhone from charging to 100%. Apple states this may happen to keep battery estimates accurate.
