So, if you have 50% charge, and charge it to 100%, then use the device until the charge is at 50%, you’ve completed a loadcycle. Loadcycles and Usage – One loadcycle is one full discharge followed by one full charge, or from 0% to 100%. This kind of deterioration is expected from a device of its age, being 477 days old, but if your device’s maximum is significantly less than the design capacity, it may be best to take your device in to get your battery exchanged. In the case of my 6s, it was designed to store 1715mAh of power but through use has deteriorated to a maximum charge of 1311mAh – or 76.4%. So, what does it all mean?! It’s pretty easygoing, actually.Ĭharge Capacity – Power is displayed as milliamp hours or mAh. For further device details, such as the age, serial number, and processor, you can select “Device details.”
Running the Appĭouble click on the file you just downloaded to open it.Īll battery details will be displayed in the bottom portion of the screen. The coconutBattery app will also show you battery diagnostics for your Mac, which is a nice extra. One of my favorite features of coconutBattery is its overall ease of use and lightness, meaning it won’t bog down your CPU or use loads of storage on your machine. The file itself, a “.zip,” is only 8.5MB at the time of writing and should take next to no time to install. Also, if the most current version doesn’t support your needs, the webpage will offer up older versions compatible with older operating systems. Scroll down on the page until you see the “Download 3.4” link or a similar link depending on when and if updates have been implemented. Do take note that coconutBattery only works on macOS machines, so if you’re running Windows, you’ll need to find a friend with a Mac. In this case we’ll be running coconutBattery version 3.4. We’ll first need to download coconutBattery. And the best part of all of this? It won’t void your warranty. Now, of course, any Apple retail store or authorized service provider can run diagnostics for you, but with most stores few and far between, running diagnostics yourself will be most applicable. Running diagnostics is relatively simple to do and is a great way to see if your battery may need replacing.
