Our iPhones have become essential in our day to day, we use them for everything from ordering food and communicating to guide us if we have lost. But for us to really take advantage of all these functions we need something essential: battery. A battery with problems will make us unable to use the iPhone properly.

Today we are going to review some of the most common problems related to the battery of our iOS devices, it does not matter if it is an iPhone, an iPad or an iPod Touch. We will also try to solve these problems step by step.

 

Common iPhone battery problems and how to fix them

First of all, you have to know how our iPhone's batteries work to understand the possible problems. All rechargeable batteries of any device are products with a limited lifespan, this means that over time, their capacity and performance decrease.

The iPhone downloads fast
You may notice that your iPhone's battery discharges very quickly, especially when it reaches the lower limits. The main thing is that you go to Settings> Battery> Health battery. If the maximum capacity is above 85%, it is not normal for your iPhone to download so fast, if it is less than 80% it is that the useful life is coming to an end and the only solution to improve the duration is to change the battery.

What you should check first is that no app is spending too much battery in Settings> Battery. In case the health of the battery is good and no app consumes too much, the best solution to this problem is to calibrate the battery of the iPhone as shown below.

 

The iPhone does not reach 100%

Another problem that can appear is that your iPhone, or your iPad, does not reach 100% after being many hours connected to the charger. It is mainly a problem of, let's call it understanding, between the software of the iPhone or the iPad and the battery.

The solution to this problem is, again, perform a calibration of the battery as we show you in the troubleshooting section. In this case, it is not a problem of an installed application, although it is advisable to update the device if you have not already done so.

 

iPhone warms up when charging
 

It is possible that in some moments the iPhone is hot due to its use, for example when playing demanding games, it is something that can also happen when charging the device. However this heating is normal, there should be no major problem unless you notice that the device burns.

In this case, it is best to remove the case you have on the iPhone. It is an Apple recommendation, so if you notice that it gets too hot to charge, do it without the case.

 

The iPhone shuts down before reaching 0%
 

Another of the most common problems is that the iPhone or the iPad are turned off before reaching 0 %. It is a problem that I have suffered at some time and it is due to a bad synchronization between the iPhone and the software that is responsible for managing the battery.

Basically, your iPhone does not know how much battery is left and the only way to solve it is by performing a calibration as we show you a little below.

 

The iPhone restarts itself

If the health of your device's battery is not good, you may have to activate the settings option called Peak Performance Capacity. This is an option that Apple introduced recently and that decreases the performance of the device if it is possible to suffer unexpected reboots.

The main problem is usually the health of the battery and the only way to prevent your iPhone from reoccurring is activating this option or changing the battery. To activate this option we go to Settings> Battery> Battery Health. If the health of the battery is good you can also try a battery calibration.
