How to Stop iPhone 15 From Charging Over 80%

Apple has explained how the iPhone 15’s new 80 percent charging limit feature works. Here’s what it means in simple terms:

When you choose the 80% Limit, your iPhone will charge up to about 80% and then stop charging. If the battery goes down to 75%, it will start charging again until it reaches about 80%.

When you have the 80% Limit on, your iPhone may occasionally charge all the way to 100% to keep track of the battery’s condition accurately.

This new option is added to the existing Optimized Battery Charging feature, which has been on Apple devices for a while. It keeps your battery at around 80% and only charges it fully when it thinks you’ll need it, based on how you use your phone. Apple also just released iOS 17.0.2 for the iPhone 15 series, and we’re testing to see if charging really stays close to 80% with this new feature.

How to Stop iPhone 15 from Charging Over 80%

Here are the steps to set an 80% battery charge limit on the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max:

1. Go to the Settings app.

2. On the Settings page, select Battery.

3. Tap on the Charging option.

4. Move the slider to 80%.

Just like how Optimized Battery Charging helps your iPhone battery live longer by avoiding full charges, the new 80% limit also helps because it keeps the battery from getting fully charged too often. This can make your battery last longer.

When You Should Use 80% Limit?

You should choose the 80% Limit option if:

1. You want to keep your iPhone’s battery healthy so it lasts a long time or holds its value well when you want to sell it.

2. Your iPhone usually lasts a whole day even with a lot of use. This is especially true for the bigger models like the iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

You should avoid using the 80% Limit if:

1. You worry that having only 80% battery won’t last you through the whole day. For instance, if you’re traveling and might not have many chances to charge, or if you need to do power-hungry things like recording videos, using GPS for navigation, or playing games.

That’s it. These were the processes to stop the iPhone 15 series model from charging over 80%.
