In addition to the charging cord that came with the phone, I also have a desktop square on which I place the phone and it charges it, Most of the time.
I don't like to just leave it on it for the night; it does not always reach 100% and last night before I retired, it was around 75%.
This morning it was dead. I had to use the cord to start charging it and after a few minutes it read 3%.
So I went to the settings, to battery Health, there is a graph and... it was more or less steady at 75% from 6:00 PM and then shortly after midnight it dropped at a 45 degree angle to about 10% at 3:00 am, and then proceeded, on a red lines to 0 by 6:00 am.
What would cause such a precipitous drop? How common is it?

(4,349 posts)Late last year, I had to upgrade my 6, because it couldnt hold a charge for more than a few hours of moderate use.
Got the MagSafe pad for my new 13. I always check to make sure the phone is actually charging (via screen as well as the nightlight on the pad).
If double-checking the phone-pad placement doesnt work, it may be the phones model (battery health).

(3,541 posts)Sometimes I put my phone on the pad and it doesnt charge, so I need to move it around a little on the pad until it shows its charging.

(6,325 posts)iOS tries to extend battery life by not fully charging based on your use profile. It is better for the battery to not keep it changing ged right at 100%.
