iPhone 12 Pro Max Battery charge optimization

[Jutah]

How much it takes tic”learn” from our habits in order to stop charging at 80%? I charge every night with a 5w wired charger but it goes straight to 100%

Optimized Charging doesn't stop at 80%, it waits for the best time to charge past 80%.

It took about 2 weeks for it to start on my 12 pro max.

Is it bounded to the type of charger? Do you think that the 5w is the culprit that does not trigger the optimization?

Man, if someone can tell me what the secret is to get this to work consistently that would be great. I haven’t left the house in about a year (lol) and the optimized charging turns on maybe once a week. I thought maybe it has something to do with location settings, so I turned literally everything on. No dice.

which type of charger do You use guys?

 

[Kraizelburg]

It never worked for me before with my iPhone SE and it hasn’t worked with my iPhone 12 either no matter which charger I use

 

[Jutah]

i think it's related to charger... my wife 12P with 20w charger trigger the optimize charging like a charm. I'm using the 5w charger, probably it's related to this. Any other experience?

Im using 10w. Never works. Doesn’t work with wireless either

same here, never got it to work on 6S, 7 Plus, XS Max and now 12 Pro Max. I have never even seen that pop up.

It worked on my X and it works on my 12P using a 7.5W Anker wireless power adapter.

Discussion going on in iOS 14 sub-forum:

Optimized Battery Charging

Optimized Battery Charging does not work well for me, the hours always exceed the time when I wake up. Recently I permanently disabled the option, but after 2 or 3 days the option was automatically activated, is this a bug? I am using iOS version 14.2 (iPhone 11 Pro max)
