iPhone: Test battery capacity - with this free tool it works
If you want to check the battery of your iPhone or iPad, you can test the capacity with a free program. We'll show you what you need.
Free test for iPhone batteries: check the battery capacity in the self-test
One of the biggest weaknesses of smartphones and tablets is still the batteries. They empty themselves too quickly, the battery health sinks too quickly, and with it the maximum capacity.
- Until now, anyone who wanted to check the health of their iPhone or iPad's battery had to ask a genius at Apple's Genius-Bar. The free tool CoconutBattery for Mac OS now helps faster and without any problems.
- The freeware has been a great tool for Macs for some time to query the health of the battery and its charging cycles. In the meantime, CoconutBattery has also been supporting iOS devices for a long time, providing detailed information on iPhone, iPad and iPod batteries.
- With the tool you can clearly see the current charge level, the maximum capacity and the status of your battery. The charging cycles already carried out are also indicated.
- This quickly explains common problems with the battery, such as a rapidly decreasing charge level. However, you should note that a health status of 100 percent is very unlikely and can only be achieved by brand-new devices.
- Up to a state of around 80 percent, you will hardly notice any deterioration, only when the battery drops below this value, more frequent charging is required. Another post will tell you when it is worth changing the iPhone battery.
