In one of our previous articles, we focused on calibrating or shaping laptop batteries. MacBookWhile many users use MacBook just like me, i.e. constantly connected to an external monitor, with the fact that they transfer it once every six months, at iPhone the situation is completely different. In the case of such used MacBookThe problem arises in that the battery is constantly charged at full capacity. 100%, which results in electrons in the battery not moving and can be damaged.
However, most iPhones suffer from a completely different problem, often offering them to users when they still have, for example, 10-15% battery left. In this case, the same phenomenon occurs, only it only affects the part of the battery that never runs out. Pro proper maintenance of the lithium battery, which iPhone uses it is necessary for all electrons to move at least once a month.
So if you are one of the users who iPhone regularly connect to a power source before the display goes out due to low battery, shaping or if you want, calibrating the battery is for you. I will also add that properly maintained iPhone should offer 400% of the original battery capacity after more than 80 full charge cycles. This means that if you iPhone initially lasted 10 hours on a charge, after 400 full charge cycles, it should be able to achieve 8 hours of operation with the same use. One charge cycle is then understood as discharging a fully charged device to 0% battery and then charging it to 100% battery capacity. In the case of the iPad, the iPad battery should retain 80% of its capacity even after more than 1000 full charge cycles.
If you feel that the battery life is weaker now in the winter than in the remaining warm months of the year, believe that it is not a defect of the device or the battery. Every battery in the world, even the one in the Lexus, is dependent on the ambient temperature. The lower the temperature, the lower the battery life. Alone Apple then recommends iPhone use only in temperatures between 0 and 35 degrees Celsius. More about how to use iPhone in winter you will find out in the article how to use iPhone in freezing weather and what to watch out for.
How to calibrate the battery iPhone
This procedure will ensure that iPhone will actually measure the real battery capacity and will not stop its operation before the battery is actually completely discharged. The above procedure will ensure that the phone will work with the real battery capacity and will also display it. NestIt happens that the phone incorrectly displays the real battery capacity and turns off before the battery actually runs out of power.
- Discharge iPhone so that it turns itself off due to low battery.
- Connect iPhone to a standard charger and let it charge at 100%.
- Disconnect iPhone from the charger and restart the device by holding down the sleep button and home button until the phone restarts.
How to shape a battery iPhone
Pro battery molding iPhone se recommends the following procedure. However, it is not necessary to use it if you clean it at least once a month iPhone you fully charge and discharge it until it turns itself off. Unlike the above procedure, forming the battery ensures the movement of all electrons in the battery, which is necessary at least once a month to ensure that the battery maintains its capacity for as long as possible and does not destroy itself.
- Discharge iPhone so that it turns itself off due to low battery.
- Connect iPhone to a charger or USB port and charge it until the battery is fully charged. 100%.
- By doing this, you ensure the movement of all electrons in the battery, which is necessary to properly maintain the battery's capacity.
The same procedure for calibrating and forming a battery, of course, applies not only to mobile phones. iPhone, but also the iPod touch music player or the iPad tablet. For all the company's devices Apple with a built-in battery, it is important to miniat least once a month to keep all the electrons moving, which you can ensure by fully charging and discharging the device until it turns off by itself due to low battery. About how to maintain the battery in laptop computers MacBook you can read in the article formatting batteries easily and quickly.
Information on how to maintain the battery in iPhone comes from apple.com/batteries/iphone
Wow... I haven't seen the article about the "forming" of the battery yet... It's new to me that the battery in the phoneone can be shaped...
Up until now, I was worried about the battery in the phoneone is being formatted. So in Slovakia it is definitely formatted, and in the Czech Republic it is "fromed"
I have to notchat a copy of the original article, because no one in the robot will believe me...
Have a nice day with battery molding.

AppStore: application BatteryDoctor (free). A perfect assistant for charging, energy saving, etc. I have never solved these monkey problems and even the oldest one iPhone The 2G in my collection still has a nice lifespan after 5 years :-)
Otherwise, in the worst case, replacing the battery is a few crowns and a few minutes of work, for iPhone 4 or 4S is a nice 2 to 3 minutes. IPhone 5 10 minutes, iPhone 3G/3GS 10 minutes.
There are also many covers on the market with a built-in additional battery, probably around +1400 mAh.
Pedro – you are quite embarrassed, because the batteries are formed without discussion (even in Slovakia), on the contrary, the term formatting is often used by mistake.
It's not a tragedy that you don't know this, it's a very common mistake, but if you're going to make fun of the author of the article, you should be a little knowledgeable in the field, otherwise it's a bummer :-)
Hello, in the article "How to properly charge iOS device" you write this: "The only thing recommended is that if you do not use your device for a long time, it is advisable to miniat least once a month nochat completely discharge and recharge again 100%", so that a charging cycle takes place at least once a month and a chemical reaction takes place inside the battery. If you use the device regularly, this cycle is unnecessary to perform". Today you write a recommendation to charge at least once a month even if iPhone uses. Can you elaborate? Thank you
iPhonecoffee:
I also wanted to have a collection of iPhones from the first to the last, especially when I buy new ones iphone so it is better to sell the old ones so that the new ones can be sent cheaper, but I still had the 3Gc a year and a half after I bought it iphone 4, there was a strong emotional connection to the first mobile phone of his own - and an iPhone in addition
I'm sorry Pedro, but I have to dig too.
The worst thing of all is when someone starts to tease and be sarcastic and guess what?! Then nestWhat's surprising, right?
ProA classic embarrassment :-D
Oh, and fuck the article, you'd better save the comments here :-)
Sorry for the OT
Hello. I would be interested in the effect of the restart.
Now I don't know where the truth is. A lot has already been said about certain regular cycles, i.e. the complete discharge and subsequent full charge of the battery once in a certain period. On the other hand, there are also many articles where I point out that modern batteries (including those in iDevices) can this cycle, or completely discharging the battery will eventually damage it, or reduce its capacity... So what is the truth now? I didn't make it up, just look at the website...
Amnart - I have that "strong emotional connection" too :-) just for that 2G :-)
idarkco: as he wrote Roman... and batteries have long had control technology built into them that prevents them from being under-discharged or overcharged :)
So I don't know, but it was always taught that lipol batteries have the advantage that they don't have a battery memory, they can't be overcharged and therefore no formatting is needed. (Perhaps versus NiMh). I understand that it's not wrong to drain the battery completely from time to time, (and I myself, although I don't know why, sometimes do that), but this seems a little over the line. By the way, isn't it written somewhere what this will gain?
Roman, to put it professionally, it's absolutely the biggest piece of crap I've ever read. I don't want to check if I have it apple to the party, because you certainly did not invent it, but if it is there, then you are deceiving the consumer. why? use batteries in iphone they are lithium polymer, abbreviated LiPo. The battery does not have a memory effect and is built for approx. 1000 charges without loss of capacity or with a loss of 10%, but the most sensitive is when the voltage drops to minimum, that is low battery. therefore, the battery should be "discharged" completely until it "goes out". iphone", when will iphone a charging icon will appear on the display, they are crucial for their future functionality. not only will their lifespan be reduced, but there is also a risk of their damage, even to the point that the battery will lose up to 70% of its capacity within a few cycles. so point 1) in the procedure is only a suggestion for a person to visit the service in a short time and secure the investments of the owner of the device, so my professional advice is to charge at any time just to eliminate battery discharge. short-term cycles are ok even 3-5 times a day. coffee
It is interesting that today they write something else there:
Charge your Apple Lithium-ion battery whenever you want. There's no need to let it discharge 100% before recharging.
