Do cheap iPhone Chargers Ruin the Battery?

When it comes to iPhone people generally tend to think that, the third party charger will affect their iPhone’s battery health.

I used to think so too. But today I want to clear out why it’s okay to charge your iPhone with third party chargers.

New iPhones only include USB lightning cable but doesn’t include a charger.

Since the original charging adaptor and cable of the iPhone is so expensive, I decided to charge my iPhone 11 with third party 5 Watts adaptor and USB cable.

I bought the 5 Watts third party adopter for only $6 (USD) while the cable for around $3 (USD).

The original 5 watt iPhone charger costs around $19 (USD) and the same is for USB cable.

5 Watts adaptor is a slow charger and it has its benefits.

It’s a fact that, your battery health will be better if you charge any phone with a slow charger.

In addition, the battery also lasts longer when charged with a slow charger.

One of my friend charges his iPhone with a fast charger.

His battery health has reached about 90% percent within a year of using the phone.

After watching videos after videos on YouTube, I couldn’t find one simple video on charging iPhone with third party charger.

It doesn’t matter if you charge your iPhone with original charger or other third party cable.

I bought a used iPhone and it had about 97% percent battery health and after five months it still has the same battery health.

How did I maintained the iPhone’s battery health to 97%?

The answer to this question is simple.

You just have keep your iPhone charge between 30%-80%.

When your iPhone reaches 30% charge your iPhone immediately and plug out when the battery percentage reaches 80% or sometimes even more.

And also, never drain your battery to 0%.

It greatly affects your phone’s battery health.
