Never let it drop below 20%. Never let it get above 95 degrees and never let it drop below 70 degrees. Never use while charging.

Batteries don’t like high or low temperature.

Never heard that one. Will practice that to create a new habit. I’m good with batteries but this is a good tip. Thanks for sharing.

I mean. Feeling it for one is a good sign of heat. Coconut battery on your Mac is another. Once you use coconut a few times you are able to get the feel.
I don’t own a pc. On my android phones, I had an app that showed the battery temp right on top next to the battery meter. One of the ways android is superior I guess.

Battery has only been charged to 100% maybe 8 times since new (when using this app) Never discharged (ever) below 40%.
Wow, impressive, I'll try to use my new battery more like this.
Do you charge to 80 or 90 %? I'm wondering, which the best area is.
Do you use 10 or 12 Watt power adapters?

Has anyone installed 6 plus or 7 plus battery in 6s plus and been using it with no problems?

I got my X for about 2 months and it dropped from 100% to 99% today. Quite normal I guess?

Launch day X

97%

Wonder if wireless charging is hurting it?

I wouldn't have thought so.

I ordered my X on launch day and got it about a week later. I always charge wirelessly, and I've done around 120 charge cycles last time I checked. Both Battery Life and iOS are reporting 100% capacity.

Read it & weep
(iOS 9.3.5 - with native coconutBattery)

The battery will outlast the phone for sure.
Lightning port will probably wear out before battery - ha!

Did you install bigger battery than the original 2915 mah? I was thinking if I can do that on 6s plus.

6S , February 2016 purchase and at 80% now. I would drain the battery completely once in a while. Now reading on all tips, will take care not to do the same.
