iPhone Replacement Battery Stuck At 100% Battery Health?
iPhone 8 displaying 100% Battery Health.
If the battery capacity decreases below 80%, from its original status, it will stop supporting your iPhone’s Peak Performance capabilities and you might have to throttle-down the processing power of your device, to avoid unexpected shutdowns. This is when many users decide to replace the battery with a new one, or just upgrade for a new iPhone model. In normal circumstances an iPhone should be able to last two years, until the battery reaches the 80% level.
Two years is a long time, consider the speed of how technology progresses nowadays. If you decide to replace your battery at a third-party repair service, you might get one with higher power storing capabilities, simply because of the technological progress that allows higher capacity batteries in the same size. For example, if you replace your iPhone 8 battery now, an aftermarket repair shop might provide one with more than 2000 mAH capacity. In this case, until the replacement battery wears out to levels below the stock 1821 mAH, your iPhone will continue to display the 100% Battery Health status even if the replacement was done a long time ago.
Many think that there’s a glitch and that the iPhone isn’t able to perform correct Battery Health readings anymore. Some blame battery replacements done at non-authorized Apple repair shop. However, that shouldn’t be the case. To be sure, you can inquire the repair shop and ask about the capacity of the replacement battery that your iPhone got. If they confirm levels higher than the official ones, the case is closed. Below, you can find a list with the stock battery capacity of all iPhones that can display Battery Health readings!

Hellh,
Happy new year and merry Christmas. I replaced it here in georgia. If you know Georgia, capital Tbilisi. Here unfortunately we don’t have official retailers 😞😞 so sadly i had to replace it because of ‘80%’ apple rules so as i you think that mine is higher😞😞 because it’s about half a year ago i replaced and it’s still 100 %😂 is there any third party apps to help me to know about what’s going on with my battery 🔋.
Thank you for your time and good wishes 😘
Thanks for the inquiry. Are you getting the amount of charging cycles when using this trick: https://www.iphonetricks.org/how-to-check-iphone-battery-cycle-count/
You should also find data about the current charge of the battery. Run the trick when the iPhone is charged to 100% and compare the charge to the maximum capacity of the battery and you will be able to calculate the current battery health. Let me know if it works.
Hi. I replaced my iPhone X battery about a year ago. It now drains in about an hour, constantly reboots from showing 80+% and then shows 20% or even 20% when it restarts. But the “health” is 100%!
Any idea what the problem might be?
Thanks for asking Phil. Have you replaced the battery at an official Apple store or supported repair service, or you got an aftermarket replacement unit from a third-party?
