Hi avnetz2007,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to ensure you're charging your iOS device correctly because of a battery life sisue. The articles linked below provide a lot of great information about how to quickly and completely charge your device and improve the battery life.

  • When/how to charge the iPhone for optimal battery life?

    I have an iPhone 3G 8GB. I was just wondering what the best way to go about charging the iPhone is, in order to optimise the battery life?
    Should you wait until the iPhone is really flat/ low battery and then charge it up full, or are smaller and more frequent 'shallow' charges healthier?
    I also heard somewhere that every couple of months or so it is a good idea to let the battery run completely dead and then charge it up, in order to calibrate it or something... but that doing this too often could be detrimental.
    Any help/ advice would be greatly appreciated! I don't know if I should let my iPhone run really low before charging it or if smaller more frequent chargers are the way to go.
    Thanks!

    Thanks! I did read over that and have taken the steps mentioned and fiddled around with settings of my phone to optimise use. I was just wondering if anyone else had anything else to add about charging habits specifically and what works best... I think mainly I'm just being paranoid about my phone dying prematurely since it's the first time I've owned such an expensive gadget!
    Also, can you overcharge it? Is it bad to leave it on the charger overnight? I've done some searching in other threads/ webpages and there seems to be some discrepancies but for the most part people seem to think that it will be fine?

  • How to charge my iphone ?

    hello,
    please i want to know if i should wait till my iphone's battery is totally drained before i charge it , and if there is an accebtable percentage where i can plugg my iphone in the electric hose without getting the battery damaged.
    what am doing is waiting for the battery percentage to reach 20% then i charge it to 100 % am afraid of charging it beforeit reaches 20% and removing it before 100% is that necessary to be done?
    thank you

    Allowing a lithium-ion battery to become depleted or drained before connecting it to a power source each time is not good for the battery.
    You can connect the iPhone to a power source when at any battery level and it is not required for the battery to be completely charged before disconnecting the iPhone.

  • Is it bad to always fully charge an iPhone 5?

    I'm confused on how to charge an iPhone. I've been reading a lot of posts saying that always fully charging your iPhone 5 can shorten it's battery life span. Is that true?

    No. Just use it how it best suits you.
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html
    Use iPhone Regularly
    For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

  • IPhone 4 battery dies quickly, won't charge properly and is very hot!

    Hi, my iPhone 4 won't charge properly and the battery drains really fast plus the handset is very hot. Does it need a new battery?
    It just suddenly started happening yesterday before lunch and hasn't been right since! I haven't done any software updates or anything that could cause it. I e tried deleting my mail accounts, turning phone off and re installing them as suggested in one post but that didn't work!
    Thanks

  • HOW MANY HOURS DID YOU CHARGE YOUR iPHONE FOR THE 1ST TIME OUT OF THE BOX?

    As the title says.
    And how soon does the battery start to finish when watching YouTube after a FULL CHARGE?
    I can watch abt 3 or 4 videos (between 2 to 10 mins long each) + searching youtube for a minute or two before I notice the FULL BATTERY starts to drain :S
    So in total lets say after 15 minutes my battery starts to go down.
    Is that normal? or is something wrong with my battery?

    I provide you a link yesterday with this and other information about the battery which answers this question so here it is again.
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/
    +Lithium-ion batteries pack in a higher power density than nickel-based batteries. This gives you a longer battery life in a lighter package, as lithium is the lightest metal. *You can also recharge a lithium-ion battery whenever convenient, without the full charge or discharge cycle necessary to keep nickel-based batteries at peak performance.*+
    Charging an iPhone battery for 15 hours doesn't accomplish anything. After the battery reaches 80%, it reverts to a trickle charge for the remaining and when at 100%, charging stops. Charging can't go past 100%.

  • My iphone 5 is not charging properly. Recently the USB cable was emitting sparks on connecting it to my laptop.This has resulted in physical damage of the wire. Is it still eligible for replacement since it is under 1 year warranty?

    Why not. The iPhone was also delivered with a charger to connect to the wall outlet, use it

  • My Iphone will not charge properly!!!

    I have had my iphone since last november 2012 and it has worked perfectly. However about a month ago when i plugged the lightning cable from the wall into my iphone to charge, i had to bend it into a certain position to get the phone to charge. I figured it was the charger that was busted as at the top of the cable some of the plastic had come away and there was exposed wires, so i purchased another lightning cable from apple, which arrived today. After plugging the new charger into the USB and the wall, the phone will not charge properly again unless the cable is bent into a position where it suddenly starts charging and then unless its kept in that position it will cease to charge. Is this my phone or have i just got unlucky and been sent a faulty charger?? please help.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    Please be more specific about "it wont connect back to the computer" so that appropriate troubleshooting steps can be provided.

    I had this same problem with what's app.  There is a new update for the app on the app store which is compatible with ios8.  Update the app, or delete it and re-add it.  I found a lot of apps weren't compliant with ios8, but after updating everything worked fine.

  • How long does your iphone take to charge?

    How long does your iphone take to charge when at various battery levels remaining?
    When your iphone is at 10% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    When your iphone is at 20% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    When your iphone is at 50% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    (Assuming that you charge the phone when the phone is off using the Apple USB cable or dock through a wall power outlet)

    Usually 1 1/2 Hours tops.
    When your iphone is at 20% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    Around the Same
    When your iphone is at 50% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    Thirty Minutes.
    I think if it is taking you 6 to 7 hours then something is wrong here. Either the battery is flawed, the cable or dock is flawed, or something is wrong with the outlet. It should not take that long.

  • IPhone 3G will not charge properly

    I've had my iPhone 3G for about two months now, but in the last week the phone has begun to have issues with charging properly. The phone will not properly show the charge progress on the screen (IE it won't show the meter filling while it's plugged in), but if I restart the phone it will show some progress. The phone will also sometimes say the battery is charged (showing the plug in the small icon in the upper right), but the meter won't be full.
    The phone basically seems to stall when charging, sometimes the charge meter jumps in random spurts and other times it just sticks at one point with no change, sometimes a restart will get it to show some progress and other times it won't do anything.
    Any help you can offer would be much appreciated!

    Standard troubleshooting is
    1) Reset (hold sleep/wake & home button until the Apple logo appears)
    2) Restore (connect to iTunes and click the restore option)
    If 1 and 2 do not work, the next step is to take it into the Genius Bar to be looked at.

  • My iphone 4 switches off unexpectedly and does not charge properly every time

    My iphone 4 turns off unexpectedly and does not charge properly every time. Can anyone help

    Hey bigstu29,
    Thanks for the question. To completely isolate the issue, you may want to follow these steps:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    - Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    - Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    - Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    - After at least 15 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    - If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    - Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
    restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    - If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • How do I get my iPod touch 4g to charge properly?

    I have a 4g iPod touch. It rarely charges properly meaning when I plug it into the wall to charge, the battery image and the noise that accompanies it doesn't occur except for when it wants to. I can't connect to iTunes to transfer files or anything like that. I got it replaced under warranty so I'm sure it's refurbished. Also when I plug it into a computer it says the device has malfunctioned when it hasn't. Is there anything that can be done about this?

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. .
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
