Any rechargeable battery, as it is used, loses its effectiveness and requires recharging more often. IPhone 7 Plus is no exception. As a rule, replacing the iPhone battery becomes necessary after 1 year of using the device.

      How to find out if you need an iPhone 7 Plus battery replacement

      The easiest way to check the state of your iPhone battery is to go to Settings> Battery> Battery State . Here you can find detailed information about the state of the battery, including performance and maximum charging capacity.

      “Maximum capacity” is an indication of the battery capacity relative to when it was new. The lower this percentage, the faster your iPhone will discharge. According to Apple, the iPhone’s battery is designed to hold up to 80 percent of its original capacity with 500 full charge cycles. Therefore, if the full charge capacity is less than 80 percent, recharge cycles exceed 500 and the battery is considered worn out.

      If it says “Your battery is currently supporting normal peak performance”, then everything is in order – your battery is normal and you do not need to do anything.

     You can also understand that your phone needs an iPhone 7 battery replacement when the following symptoms appear:

•         If you have to recharge the phone every few hours.

•         The phone turns off even when the battery level is 10% or higher.

•         If your iPhone is working only when charging.

•         iPhone randomly turns off or gets warm while charging.

     If any signs appear, you should consult a specialist. In Mr Fix  you can always use the free diagnostic service. Our specialist will quickly check your iPhone and give information about its condition.

      How to extend iPhone battery life

      1. Use only certified chargers and cables.

      2. Once a month, discharge your iOS device up to 5%, and then charge up to 100% to calibrate the battery.

     3. Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures, especially low temperatures, since your iPhone 7 will discharge almost instantly.

      5. Charge your iPhone at room temperature.      6. If you plan not to use the iOS device for a long time, then charge the battery up to 75%, then turn off your device.

Began to notice that your iPhone discharges much faster without any special reason? Not everyone knows, but in most cases you can solve the problem by calibrating the iPhone battery. Mr Fix will tell you how it helps and how to make it.

      Is battery calibration not a myth?

      There is an opinion among users that calibrating a smartphone’s battery is a waste of time. However, this belief is erroneous.

      The great positive effect of calibrating lithium-ion batteries has been proven by Battery University. They conducted research on various types of devices with modern rechargeable batteries, including smartphones, and found that in each case the battery life after calibration increases. The experiments were really serious and the benefits of calibration were proven.

      How to calibrate iPhone battery?

      The process is extremely simple and requires a minimum of user effort.

First of all, you need to completely discharge the iPhone battery to 0% to turn off the smartphone.

      Next, you need to leave the iPhone turned off for 5-6 hours. It’s best to leave your iPhone turned off at night.

     After that, it remains only to connect the iPhone to a charger, preferably the original, and not disconnect for 5-6 hours. Even after the iPhone XR battery is fully charged.

      When charging the iPhone, it is recommended to turn on “Airplane mode” or turn it off altogether. By the way, you can turn off the iPhone while charging, again, contrary to popular belief. To do this, you first need to put the iPhone on charge, and then turn it off.

      This simple procedure calibrates the battery of your iPhone. Due to this, the battery is “reset” and starts to work with the highest possible efficiency. IPhone battery life is increasing.

     Battery University experts recommend performing this procedure every 3-4 months.      However, if there are problems such as: the phone does not turn on, quickly loses its charge or the battery has already started to “bloat”, it is better to immediately contact a service centre and fix the problem. To replace the iPhone XR battery, Mr Fix specialists use original components, designed for Apple electronics, therefore, we provide a warranty for all types of spare parts and the work done.
