Your iPhone is fully charged and ready to go, but it seems like it’s draining fast. Maybe you even noticed that it takes your phone only half an hour to charge from empty to full.

And every time you use your phone, later on, it dies in a matter of minutes rather than hours.
This is because your phone isn’t charging slowly enough — or in other words, its battery isn’t being charged slowly enough.

The reason why your iPhone is sucking up power so quickly has to do with the chemistry of the batteries, the length of time they’ve been sitting around, and the way they are used. Follow along if you’re worried about why your beloved smartphone is charging at a snail’s pace and just want some tips to speed things up again:

Why is my iPhone’s battery charging slowly?

The chemistry of batteries requires that they be used and charged over time to maintain their performance.

Once a battery has been sitting around unused, the chemistry inside begins to deteriorate. This means that your battery is slowly losing its ability to hold a charge.

The battery’s inability to store as much energy means it can’t provide the same amount of power when you need it most.
As for how long your battery has been sitting around unused, it depends on the type of battery that you have in your iPhone. Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable, so they won’t lose their ability to hold a charge after being left dead for too long.
It’s not just the way batteries age that causes your phone to drain all of its power quickly — there are also other things like temperature extremes and heavy use leading up to charging times for iPhones, which we’ll go over next:

What you can do to speed up your charging time

If you want to speed up the charging of your iPhone, there are a few things you can do. One easy solution is to keep your iPhone in a cool and dry place at all times.

The battery in your phone will be happier and last longer if it’s not exposed to extreme heat or too much moisture.

And what are the other causes of slower charging? One common cause is that your phone has been sitting around for a while — we’re talking months, not hours here.
But how long should my phone really be off before I charge it?

To answer this question, it’s important to remember that batteries don’t instantly start charging after they’re pulled from their respective chargers. They need time to get back up to full speed again — typically about an hour of non-use time is needed before your device starts charging again.

So if you have an older battery and you notice it taking a minute or two longer than usual for your device to charge after being plugged into the wall, this could be due to the old battery needing more time alone before being charged again.

The reason why long-lasting batteries charge slowly

The battery in your iPhone isn’t charging at a slow rate because it’s dead, or because the charger isn’t fast enough.

The battery is just too chemically depleted to charge quickly. This happens when you haven’t used your phone in a while, or if you don’t charge it often enough.
This is why your iPhone charges slowly:
-If you haven’t used your phone for a long time and you charge it for an hour, the battery will take about eight hours to fully recharge.
-You should never leave your phone plugged into the charger for more than 24 hours. If you do, the battery will be permanently damaged.
-When you do not use your device for an extended period of time, make sure to charge it every three days so that the battery doesn’t get too low on power and die prematurely.

What you can do to extend your phone’s battery life

There are a few things you can do to extend your phone’s battery life.
One way to improve the battery life of your iPhone is by shutting down power-draining apps. You might not realize that some apps are draining your battery, but they are!

To find out which apps are doing this, head over to Settings > Battery and toggle on Battery Usage.
Make sure all of your apps haven’t been updated since 2016. Nearly half of all iOS users have installed a new update since then, so make sure you check if any of those updates could be affecting your phone’s battery life.
Another way to increase your iPhone’s battery life is by lowering its brightness. Keeping the brightness at an even level can save a lot of power.

Head over to Settings > Display & Brightness and set the brightness slider from 20% to 10% or even less for a faster charge time.
If you don’t want to mess around with settings at all, there is one quick fix you can do: buy an extended warranty for your iPhone!

Which tips work with which iPhone models?

Depending on which iPhone you own, you may want to try one of these tips:

– Try turning off your phone’s data and Wi-Fi networks.
– Put your phone in airplane mode for 10 minutes at a time.
– Turn off your phone’s Bluetooth and location services.
– Clean the charging port with a cotton swab and alcohol wipe.

Bottom line

Your iPhone’s battery needs to be recharged, It’s true that the battery is drained pretty quickly, and even if your phone isn’t working properly, there are ways to fix it. However, what you should do most of all is make sure your battery is charged.
The first step in solving this problem is determining why the battery is dying too fast. Is it because your phone has been sitting around for a while? If so, turn on your phone and let it sit for an hour or so before trying to charge it again.
You may have also noticed that when you charge your phone all the way up and then put it into sleep mode, it charges much faster than when you’re using the device normally.

This doesn’t mean anything as far as your iPhone’s performance goes (it just means that when you put your phone into sleep mode, it uses less power), but if you’re looking for some practical advice, this might help: When charging overnight or whenever you can’t use your device for an extended period of time like during a power outage or when you’re sleeping, leave it plugged in with the charger attached until you wake up and use it again.

FAQ’s

What causes a phone to charge quickly?

The way a phone is used can have a big impact on how quickly it charges. If you’re constantly using your phone while it’s plugged in, your battery will drain more rapidly than if you use it only when you need to. Using your phone while it’s plugged in also means that it won’t be charging as quickly.

If you want your phone to charge faster, try to avoid using it while it’s plugged in. If you do have to use your phone, try to keep the screen on as little as possible. Keep in mind that battery life will vary from one device to another, so you may need to fine-tune your settings to get the best results.

Another thing you can do is make sure that the battery has enough charge to start with. Try not to leave your phone sitting on empty for too long before you use it again. This can reduce the amount of charge the battery has at any given moment, which can affect how quickly it charges when you do use it again.

How can you slow down the rate at which a phone charges?

The rate at which your iPhone charges has a lot to do with the chemistry of the battery, the length of time the battery has been sitting around, and the way you use it.
1. Chemistry: A battery chemistry is made up of different types of materials that react with each other to create a specific type of electrical power (or voltage). Lithium-ion is one of the most common battery chemistries used in smartphones, and it holds a lot of power. The advantage of this kind of chemistry is that it can store a lot of energy in small spaces, but it also has a relatively low energy density.
2. Battery length: If you have a brand-new battery for your phone, its capacity (the amount of energy it can hold) will be at its best — but this doesn’t mean that it will last for long. The best way to maintain a cell’s capacity is to fully discharge and then recharge it — this prolongs its life.
3. Usage habits: The best way to charge batteries is to fully discharge them first and then recharge them — this prolongs their life. You should also not allow your batteries to sit at “0%” charge overnight. Doing so will shorten the battery’s lifespan.

What are the consequences of using a phone without charging it?

Your phone isn’t cheating on you. It’s using the power that it would have been using while charging.

In order to give you an idea of how much power is being used when you’re not using your phone, the iPhone has a feature called Battery Service that shows you how much battery life is being used with an app icon in the status bar. It’s a round icon with an ‘S’ inside of a square. The longer the battery sits around, the more charge is used up. The iPhone puts all of that energy to work as fast as it can, so it can keep working for as long as possible before you need to charge it again.
