How to fix iPhone 11 series battery drainage issue with iOS 14.5

Earlier this month, Apple addressed a bug in iPhone 11 series that significantly dropped the battery health of the device. The fix for the bug was announced to be rolled out with the iOS 14.5. The iPhones affected by this bug are iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Users who are affected by it may witness unexpected battery drain and even reduced peak performance capability.

At that time, Apple in a support document had said, “iOS 14.5, coming later this spring, includes an update where the battery health reporting system will recalibrate maximum battery capacity and peak performance capability on iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max to address inaccurate estimates of battery health reporting for some users.”

If you are an iPhone 11 series user and want to get this fixed then these are steps you need to follow:

1.

Open Settings app on your iPhone

 

 

 

 2. Tap on General

 

 

 

 3. Tap on Software Update

 

4. Tap Download and Install

5. Once the iOS 14.5 version is installed, open Settings app again and tap on Battery

6. Tap on Battery Health

 

 

 

 

Here, you should be able to see a message, “Your battery health reporting system is recalibrating Maximum Capacity and Peak Performance Capability. This process may take a few weeks.”

The process of recalibration is expected to take a few weeks as it happens over time with regular charge cycles.

If the process is successful, the recalibration message will be removed and your maximum capacity percentage will be updated. However, if the process isn’t successful, the message under the Battery Health section will be updated to, Recalibration of the battery health reporting system was not successful. An Apple Authorized Service Provider can replace the battery free of charge to restore full performance and capacity.”
