Just Curious how all you 11 Pro/Max owners are faring with the fast charger and battery health %. I charge with the fast charger every night and I got my phone in September 2019.

iOS reports 95% capacity and Coconut battery reports the following:

Should I be concerned? The rate seems to be going down way faster than my previous iPhones.
 
I personally use a mix of the 18W charger and 5W on my 11 Pro Max, I have had it 4 months and it’s at 99%

Would not worry too much unless you are experiencing much lower battery life daily.

Thanks, yeah I've been using the fast charger from the box all the time so maybe that's what's doing it. Shame.
 
Bought my IPhone 11 Pro Max at January 6th. Use it pretty heavily and charging it only with complete 18w charger. Still have 100% of battery. Maybe I am just lucky, cause I don’t have any issues with my phone.
 
Fast charger will produce additional heat, so it can affect the chemicals if you live in a hot climate maybe? Will you get the same health with iMazing (use the trial)? Check at 100% charge and in a cool room.
 
Wouldn't look to much into battery health percentage, my XS max is on 95% haven't noticed a drop in battery usage.

Still getting 6 hours plus usage per day.

Sept 2019. Fast charger and optimized charging on. I'm at 96%. Still, heavy use every day and still have plenty of battery at the end of the day.

Same situation as me, just clocked down to 95% though. haven't noticed a degradation in battery life but that fast charger definitely makes it go down faster compared to my XS Max / X / 7 / etc.

Launch day 11Pro Max owner on 92% here. Battery still pretty good overall.
 
I mostly use Wireless charging. I charge my phone almost every night. Sometimes every second night.

iPhone Battery Health 94%

None of my iPhones dropped that low so fast. But I have no issues or problems with my battery or phone.
 
Here's my 11 Pro Max, using wireless charging daily (I take it off charger overnight and just top off when I need to during the day). This is since October 2019. iPhone battery health shows 100%. I used 3uTools app on my PC to view battery stats:

I have been using iPhone 11 pro max 64gb since March 2020, battery health 98%, 60 cycles
I am still getting 10-11 SOT on heavy usage, charge it from 20% to 100% every 2nd day with 18W apple fast charger. I never used 5W charger, occasionally charge my iphone using basues 20,000 mah power-bank as well

Still over design capacity here. I charge with the 18w USB C charger though my phone rarely sees <85% charge. I do not charge it overnight anymore as I'm always >85% charge after a day's end.

Full Charge Capacity: 4030 mAh
Design Capacity: 3969 mAh

Apple Battery Health says 100%.

The design capacity actually goes a little higher once the phone is fully charged.

I've never seen optimize charging work... ever... and I tried for months so ... <shrug>.

Constantly using a fast charger will decrease your battery life over time
Especially when you leave it on over night. The shorter the period the better
