How to Limit Your iPhone to Charge Up to 80% Only?

Do you want to extend the battery life of your precious device? Do you wish you could limit the charging level to 80% instead of 100%? Well, you’re in luck, because there’s a simple way to do that. In this blog post, we’ll show you how to limit your iPhone to charge up to 80% only, and why it’s good for your battery health.

Why would you want to limit the charging level to 80%?

The answer to this question is very simple: lithium-ion batteries, which are used in iPhones and most other smartphones, degrade faster when they are fully charged or fully discharged. This means that if you always charge your iPhone to 100%, or let it drain to 0%, you’re reducing its lifespan and capacity over time. By keeping the battery level between 20% and 80%, you can prolong its life and performance.

New Feature in iOS 17 to Limit Your iPhone to Charge Up to 80% Only

If you want your iPhone battery to last longer, you should try the new feature in iOS 17 that comes with the iPhone 15 series. It lets you limit your phone’s charging to 80 %, which is good for your battery’s health. But you have to turn it on manually because it’s not the default option. The default option is still Optimized Battery Charging, which has been there since iOS 13.

Optimized Battery Charging learns from how you charge the iPhone battery every day and automatically stops charging at 80% until you need it. For example, if you usually plug in your iPhone at night and unplug it in the morning, Optimized Battery Charging will pause at 80% during the night and finish charging before you get up, so you’ll have a full battery when you want it.
