hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and I want to show you how I maintain my
battery health as close to 100% as possible and of course you're going to
say you've got an 11 Pro Max it's going to be as close to 100% but I wanted to
show you how I maintain it on phones that have been used for as much as one
year all the way up to three years of regular use and so here I have four
different phones and I'm going to go over each one of them their usage and
what their battery health is like then we're going to talk about the things
that you can do to maintain that battery health there's a lot of different
information out there and I'll just show you what I do and you can read all of
these different papers about what they tell you to do but with an iPhone it's
much simpler than I think you realize so you cannot maintain 100% permanently
while you're using your phone and that's just the nature of lithium-ion batteries
they have a set number of cycles before they'll actually degrade an Apple
actually says that after two years you can expect about eighty percent of your
battery health remaining 20% should be depleted at that point or close to that
but you can do better than that as well so here I have an iPhone 6s plus and
you'll see it has some usage it's got some staining around it in fact the
front has some scratches on it and this particular phone has been used at least
three years full time and if we go into the settings and go to battery you'll
see this one is the only phone that is not currently in full-time use but the
battery health on this one is 85% so 85 percent is pretty good Apple says 80%
after two years is the expected usage on these phones so let me set this down and
we'll move on to the next and the next one is a jet-black iPhone 7 I've shown
this in my videos before some people have said it's an iPhone 8 but it's
actually jet black and it's a seven and this came out a few years ago in 2016
this is an aluminum surface that's painted so let's go ahead and take a
look at the battery health so if we go into settings will go to battery we'll
wait for it to load and you'll notice that it has a sim card in it it's got
signal and it's been used over the last 10 days or so we'll go to battery health
and this one is at 87% so that's pretty good it's
in full-time usage in fact this was used full-time by my wife for a couple of
years and then it was used by other people after that until the iPhone X
came out now if we look at the iPhone X that we have here you can tell that by
the different speaker holes on the bottom we have the XS over here but the
iPhone X will go into the settings will go to battery and we'll wait for it to
load again it has normal signal and you'll see it was used regularly over
the past 10 days or so and it has ninety-one percent battery health so
this one's doing pretty well after two years of full-time use after two years
and then finally we have the iPhone XS this is the most heavily used phone out
of all of them and if we go to settings we'll go over to battery here again
you'll see the usage here four hours of screen on time or four hours and 15
minutes of screen on time the battery health is 94% and like I said this is
the most heavily used phone of all of them and so I wanted to show you how I
keep these as good as possible when it comes to battery health and the first
thing you need to understand is heat is your number-one enemy of battery in fact
maintaining a regular temperature of around 75 degrees Fahrenheit or about 23
degrees Celsius is really the ideal temperature for lithium-ion batteries
and if you are in a climate that's 100 degrees or very very warm all the time
and you're charging it and using it it's going to degrade the battery more
quickly than it is in a climate that is always mild or moderate and
unfortunately in some areas you just can't do anything about that where I
live thankfully most things are air-conditioned and most places are
anywhere between about 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit at any given time between
cars or homes and things like that so that is going to be your number one
factor and if you're using a phone while charging it that's absolutely fine in
fact this iPhone X was used while playing games and charging at the same
time but again if you're in a warm climate take the case off of it because
you may have a lot of heat buildup behind
and it will get very warm however Apple is very aggressive in actually managing
the battery temperature and the heat so they'll actually pull the voltage down
and actually slow the processor down to keep the phone from overheating so
that's some of the things you can do so if you're using a case that's completely
sealing the phone off maybe a lifeproof case or something like that consider
removing it while charging it so using it while playing games is completely
fine as long as it's not a hundred degrees all the time so just keep that
in mind and then the other thing is this is going to be more controversial
because a lot of people say keep your phone between 20 and 80 percent well
every one of these phones was charged all night long every single night and
the reason I normally say to do this is because keeping it closer to 100% and
keep in mind you cannot overcharge your phone once it hits 100% the iPhone will
actually pull the voltage down and just trickle charge the phone so keeping it
at 100% is actually not cycling your battery when your battery is cycling up
say down to 10% and then back up to 100 it only has a certain amount of cycles
that it can handle so keeping it closer to 100 is actually cycling it less or
for example the other thing is now that we have optimized battery charging this
is even better so this will charge it to 80% hold it there until it normally
senses movement in the morning when this feature is fully working that's what it
does so when it senses movement it knows I need to be fully charged by say 8 a.m.
so I'll charge to 80% hold it there until we get close enough that I know I
can maintain that charge and then charge up to 100% by the time the phone is in
use so as long as it's doing that that's even better because to keep it at 100%
is not as good as keeping it below that but trying to maintain that it's really
not worth your time because you're only going to save one to three percent of
this battery health over the period of two years
so trying to manage all of that I tell people charge this overnight and in fact
this chart this phone was in the case and charged on this Samsung fast charger
every single night that's Wireless so I use a wireless charger charge
like that and this has 91 percent battery health after 2 years of usage
and then finally the last question is should I fast charge or not it doesn't
matter if you're fast charging it I actually use a MacBook Pro charger on my
phone all of the time on my iPhone 11 Pro Max my XS Max it's not that much
voltage in fact if you compared it to say a car such as a Tesla they're
pushing 40 to 60 amps into the car at once and these are nowhere near that so
they are maintaining the temperature of the battery and that's the key my iPhone
XS Max which I actually have only used for six months until the newer phones
came out this one has 100% battery health and this was my everyday phone
for six months so if we go to the battery health it's at 100% and this was
my main phone for the past six months until the 11Pro Max came out but if you
have a phone that came to the five watt charger use that or use an iPad charger
and while this was being played with games such as Mario run while charging
it was being used with a iPad charger so you really can use whatever you need to
like I said Apple is very aggressive at managing the heat within the phone so I
tell people don't worry about it and that is how I've charged every one of my
phones and the other thing is I charge this throughout the day when it's in my
car it's plugged into a charger so I have carplay in some of my cars or I
used to and in other cars I just have a charger I leave it on the charger all
the time when I'm driving because I'm using those features if I'm using
navigation that uses a lot of power so I leave it on the charger there's no harm
in doing that and in fact like I said unless you're in an environment where
it's very hot all the time just enjoy your phone and use it all of these
phones have never had their battery replaced and they've held up this well
so hopefully that helps you maintain your battery health just enjoy using
your phone charge it when you need to and that's it
