- Battery health is chemical wear and cannot be reversed.
- No app or calibration raises the figure.
- With a new battery, the figure reads high again.
- Optimised Battery Charging slows wear.
- Heat wears batteries the most.
01Why does it not go up?
A lithium battery’s capacity falls with charge cycles, heat and time. The figure on the Battery Health screen shows this fall. Calibration, fully draining and recharging or apps do not renew the battery’s chemistry, so they do not raise the figure for good.
| Method | Raises battery health? |
|---|---|
| Fully draining and recharging | No |
| Apps | No |
| Software update | No; it may only correct the reading |
| Battery replacement | Yes, a new battery |
02Slowing the wear
- Optimised Battery Charging. Keep it on under Settings › Battery › Charging; it delays the last part of charging until you need it.
- Charge limit. Supported models have an option to stop charging at a lower level.
- Keep it cool. Avoid heating the phone in the sun, in the car or with heavy gaming while charging.
- Proper charger. Use a sound, compatible cable and adapter.
Menu names can differ slightly by iOS version.
03When to replace it
If Battery Health recommends “Service”, or the phone shuts down while showing charge, the battery needs replacing. The process is in iPhone battery replacement, and the options on our battery replacement page.
