Basically the video is testing phones with varying charging speeds and how much battery degrades after 500 charging cycles. Also, the affects on performance after battery degradation at 5:37

Timestamps of some tests:

  • Test results for different charging speeds at 3:06
  • Storing batteries at 1%, 50%, 100% at 3:43
  • Battery performance at 4:42

    75% is not bad. You can still use the phone with some performance loss. How old is the phone? If its been 2-4yrs. A battery replacement is not a bad option.

      It’s around 3-4 years now I think. Sad thing is that it’s an iPhone mini, so the capacity wasn’t that great to begin with so I go around a full day on a charge if I just have it laying next to me.

      Also since it’s an apple I guess that it’s really hard to replace the battery. But I might look into it. It’s better than buying a completely new one anyway.

      Daaaamn I upgraded my iPhone XS Max last year, I had it for over five years and my battery health was like 87%. I used it all day every day, but never used any type of fast charging. It lasted about nine hours of use when I upgraded. I think I got lucky.
