Many users who have installed iOS version 14.5 and accessed their battery settings have likely encountered an important system message indicating the need to perform a battery recalibration . Although the Cupertino firm has not given many details about this process, there is some information that can be taken into account to know what it is about.

Strictly with every smart device that uses a Lithium-Ion battery, it will happen that its capacity will gradually decrease over time and constant daily charges, although of course these figures will change according to each case and according to habits. of each user when loading them . That is why Apple offers a system for recognizing its useful life .

Forced battery recalibration in iOS 14.5: What is and how does iOS 14.5 battery recalibration work?

Battery recalibration notification appearing on iPhone 11

For several versions of the mobile operating system, a maximum battery capacity indicator can be found in the battery settings menu . However, the numbers are not always reliable, since with the passage of the charging cycles the algorithms used may show certain failures and that is why Apple always recommends manually recalibrating the battery every so often .

Unfortunately there is not much official information on the parameters used by the Cupertino firm to perform this measurement, although after the launch of iOS 14.5 a notification of forced and automatic recalibration has appeared on many phones for certain models so that after a few days of analysis the Battery capacity percentage indicator shows reliable information.

The process occurs automatically and it takes a couple of weeks to perform a correct analysis of the battery on the mobile and modify certain measurement parameters. Any user can decide whether to use it or not, although in the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro or iPhone 11 Pro Max line of phones (regardless of which version it is depending on the storage space), this cannot be ignored after updating the OS .

To find out if you have this notification you must access “Battery health” and an important message about it should appear . There it will indicate that the battery health information system is being recalibrated, with a readjustment of the maximum capacity and peak performance of the battery.

Once the recalibration is complete this notification should automatically disappear . In the event of a problem, some users have reported indications to change the battery due to an error that has been found during the process. You, have you received an automatic recalibration on your iPhone 11?
