If the battery of your iPhone is constantly empty...
It is not unusual for a battery to lose power gradually over time. The built-in lithium-ion batteries only have a limited life span. With each charging cycle the capacity is decreasing. Sometimes the circumstances are only temporary - for example intense cold affects the battery, but fortunately not permanently. If your battery is permanently damaged, you will probably notice one of the following signs:
Your battery loses power significantly sooner.
The rapid discharge can be a sign that it is advisable to replace the battery. Monitor the battery level during the day. Some apps or updates may also cause your battery to perform poorly. Question this before you decide too early to replace the battery.
Your iPhone can no longer be charged to 100%.
No matter how long you charge your smartphone - your battery does not reach 100% charge anymore. The internal materials have already degraded so much that the electrical energy can no longer be held.
The power of your battery suddenly drops more than 10%.
Do you know this one? You pull your iPhone off the charger and suddenly the charge level of your battery drops from 80% to 70%? Then it is time to act! This is one of the most important signs that a battery exchange is reasonable.
The battery becomes thick, the back cover of your iPhone deforms or is strikingly hot.
Something's definitely wrong here. You should stop using your device to avoid any overload. In the worst case, your smartphone could catch fire.
How to maximize your battery life
The lithium-ions used in the smartphone battery have a limited life span. Therefore, the performance decreases with the usage of the battery. But some behaviors also lead to your battery losing capacity faster than necessary. To get the most out of your iPhone battery, avoid the following:
1. Your software is not up to date.
Apple frequently provides improved energy saving functions with its software updates. So make sure to install the latest version on your iPhone.
2. You ignore the extreme.
If your battery is so empty that your iPhone switches itself off, the battery will be permanently damaged. But even a charge to 100% is not recommended. Both stress the battery and reduce its performance. We recommend keeping your battery level between 30% and 80%. You should also avoid weather extremes: Apple itself states that the iPhone works best in an ambient temperature between 0°C and 35°C.
3. your iPhone is permanently connected to electricity.
Do not leave your iPhone connected to the power supply longer than necessary, including at night while you sleep. If the battery is close to its upper capacity limit for several hours, performance will be permanently affected.
The best possible quality level
There are no original batteries for the iPhone available on the market. Apple only offers them to a selected circle. Only Apple-owned repair shops, certified repair shops and service partners have the possibility to use the original batteries. That's why we offer the highest quality spare parts for Apple available on the market. This is known as OEM, Original Equipment Manufacturer.
