What is battery cycle count and why does it matter

A battery cycle count refers to the number of complete charge and discharge cycles a battery undergoes throughout its lifespan. Each time a battery goes from 100% to 0% and back to 100%, it completes one cycle. This metric is crucial because it helps determine the battery's health and longevity. As the cycle count increases, the battery's capacity to hold a charge decreases, leading to shorter battery life and reduced performance. Monitoring the cycle count allows users to take preventive measures to extend battery life and plan for replacements.

How many battery cycles does an iPhone battery last

An iPhone battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 500 complete charge cycles under normal conditions. This means that after approximately 500 cycles, the battery's performance may start to decline noticeably. However, with proper care and maintenance, you can extend the battery's lifespan beyond this threshold

Methods to check battery cycle count in iOS

Using the Settings App:

3. Ensure that "Share iPhone Analytics" is enabled.

4. Go to Analytics Data and look for a file named "log-aggregated".

5. Open the file and search for "BatteryCycleCount" to find the cycle count.

2. Run the shortcut to extract the battery cycle count from the analytics data.

Using third-party apps:

1. Download a battery health app like CoconutBattery or iMazing on your Mac.

2. Connect your iPhone to the Mac and use the app to check the battery cycle count.

How to maintain good battery health and maximise battery life

To maintain good battery health and maximise battery life, follow these tips:

1. Enable optimised battery charging: This feature reduces battery ageing by learning your charging routine and limiting the charge to 80% until you need it fully charged.

2. Avoid extreme temperatures: Keep your iPhone away from extreme heat or cold, as these conditions can degrade the battery faster.

3. Use original chargers: Always use Apple-certified chargers to ensure safe and efficient charging.

4. Avoid full discharges: Try to keep your battery level between 20% and 80% to reduce stress on the battery.

5.Turn off unnecessary features: Disable features like Background App Refresh and Location Services when not needed to save battery life.

By following these practices, you can extend the lifespan of your iPhone's battery and maintain its performance over time.
