Does your Apple Watch go empty too quickly? In that case it is wise to check how good (or bad) the battery of the smartwatch is. That’s how you do it!
Battery condition of the Apple Watch
Do you wear your Apple Watch every day, but the smartwatch no longer keeps it full all day? Then there is a good chance that the Apple Watch battery will no longer work optimally. Apple has greatly improved the Apple Watch battery in recent years, so the Apple Watch Ultra will last 2 to 72 hours in energy -saving mode. Charging is also much faster, the Apple Watch Series 10 is recharged to eighty percent within thirty minutes.
It is therefore no longer necessary to put a newer Apple Watch on the charger all night. In fact: that can be harmful to the battery. In addition, the quality of the battery gradually decreases after a longer period of time. As a result, the Apple Watch becomes empty faster, because the battery condition of the device deteriorates. Do you want to know how good (or bad) the battery of your Apple Watch is? That’s how you check it.
The battery is so good (or bad)
The capacity of the battery is reflected under the battery condition of the Apple Watch. Batteries have less and less capacity as the battery ages chemically. This also applies to the battery in the Apple Watch, which means that the device will eventually empty faster. Are you curious about the maximum capacity at the battery of your Apple Watch at the moment? Check that as follows:
- Press the Digital Crown of the Apple Watch;
- Go to the Settings app;
- Tap ‘battery’;
- Open ‘battery condition’;
- Scroll down and check ‘maximum capacity’.
The percentage behind ‘maximum capacity’ indicates what the maximum battery capacity of the Apple Watch is at the moment. The battery capacity of the device is measured for this compared to a new battery. The more often you charge the Apple Watch and the longer you use the device, the lower the maximum capacity becomes. A low maximum capacity ensures that your Apple Watch often empties too quickly.
Buy a new Apple Watch
Is the percentage at the maximum capacity lower than eighty percent? In that case, the battery condition of your Apple Watch has deteriorated greatly. With a maximum capacity below eighty percent, the battery no longer performs properly. The Apple Watch then empties too quickly, making it wise to have the battery renewed. Replacing the battery in the Apple Watch costs 109 euros at Apple.
It usually takes a few years before the battery has deteriorated or outdated. Do you still have a relatively new Apple Watch, which is emptying too quickly? Then contact Apple’s service, because replacing the battery may fall under the warranty at AppleCare+in that case. Are you looking for a completely new Apple Watch?
