You’ve heard of battery calibration, but you’re not sure how it works or where to start. Don’t worry, we’re here for you! We understand how annoying it is when your iPhone lets you down at crucial moments. That’s why we’re here to help you with a simple and clear guide to calibrating your iPhone battery. No technical mumbo jumbo, just step-by-step instructions that anyone can follow. This way you can get started yourself and save money, time and, above all, a lot of frustration.

What is battery calibration and why is it important?

Before we get started, it’s helpful to know what exactly battery calibration is. Battery calibration is the process of re-syncing your battery and the software that displays the battery percentage. This ensures that your iPhone accurately displays how much power is left, so you won’t be surprised.

When should you calibrate your iPhone battery?

It’s not always necessary to calibrate your battery, but it can be useful in the following cases: - Your iPhone suddenly turns off at a high battery percentage. - The battery indicator gets stuck or suddenly jumps to a lower percentage. - You notice that the battery life has deteriorated significantly for no apparent reason.

Step-by-step guide: How to calibrate your iPhone battery

We will now go through the calibration process step by step. Follow these instructions carefully for best results.

Step 1: Fully charge

Charge your iPhone fully to 100%. Preferably use the original charger and cable to ensure smooth charging. Once your iPhone indicates 100%, leave it on the charger for at least an additional hour. This ensures that the battery is really fully charged.

Step 2: Use your iPhone until it runs out of battery

Unplug your iPhone from the charger and use it as you normally would. Your goal is to let the battery run down completely until the iPhone turns off on its own. This means you will continue using it until it won’t turn on.

Step 3: Let your iPhone rest for a few hours

After your iPhone is turned off, leave it turned off for at least 3 to 4 hours. This will help drain the remaining energy in the battery completely.

Step 4: Fully charge without interruption

Plug your iPhone back into the charger and let it charge all the way to 100%. Do not use or disconnect the device during this process. After it reaches 100%, leave it on the charger for an additional hour.

Step 5: Restart your iPhone

Unplug your charger and restart your iPhone. To do this, hold the power button until the Apple logo appears. Your battery is now calibrated and should display a more accurate battery percentage.

Tips for maintaining your iPhone battery

Now that your battery is calibrated, you want to keep it performing at its best for as long as possible. Here are some tips to help you do that: - Avoid extreme temperatures. Exposure to extreme heat or cold can decrease battery capacity. - Use the original charger and cable. This prevents damaging spikes or dips in the power supply. - Turn off unused features, such as Bluetooth, GPS, and background app refresh, when you don’t need them. - Update your iOS regularly. Software updates often include optimizations that improve battery life. - Charge regularly. It’s better to charge your iPhone in between charges than to let it run down completely every time.
