[summary]All newly-installed smart batteries should be calibrated as soon as possible. This helps your phone or laptop get an accurate reading on the battery’s state of charge.[/summary] | |
== How to calibrate your battery == | |
- | ++For |
+ | ++For ***phones*** and ***tablets***:++ |
- | # Charge it to 100% and keep charging it for at least |
+ | # Charge it to 100%, and keep charging it for at least two more hours. |
# Use your device until it shuts off due to low battery. | |
# Charge it uninterrupted to 100%. | |
- | ++For |
+ | ++For ***laptops***:++ |
# Charge it to 100%, and keep charging it for at least two more hours. | |
# Wait at least five hours, then charge your laptop uninterrupted to 100%. | |
+ | Apple MacBooks with Thunderbolt 3 ports running macOS Catalina 10.15.5 or newer have a battery health management feature that can prevent the MacBook from charging to 100%. If your MacBook has this feature, [link|https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211094#control|turn it off] before beginning calibration. |

It’s best to perform this process periodically (about once a month) to ensure that the battery remains properly calibrated throughout its lifespan. | |
== Background: What’s calibration anyway? == | |

The fundamental problem is that there’s no reliable way to know exactly how much energy a battery holds at any given moment. (It’s an electrochemical storage system that is always changing and decaying, and never behaves exactly the same way from one charge to the next.) About the only reliable way to gauge it is to fully charge the battery, then fully discharge it and measure the difference (a.k.a. coulomb counting). Obviously, we can't do that every time we want to check the battery level, so we have to use indirect methods—storing all kinds of usage data and using that to calculate an estimated % state of charge from moment to moment. Over time, that calculation tends to drift and become less accurate. And on a brand-new battery, there’s not really any good data to work with, so the model will be way off. Calibration helps keep estimates accurate by setting new “full charge” and “full discharge” anchors in the battery management system so it doesn’t have to guess. We're still playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey, but calibration tells the battery management system, "Hey—the donkey is over ''that'' way." | |
# Plug in the MagSafe Power Adapter and fully charge the battery. | |
# When the battery is fully charged, the light on the MagSafe Power Adapter connector changes to green and the Battery icon in the menu bar indicates that the battery is charged. | |
- | # |
+ | # ***Allow the battery to rest in the fully charged state for two hours or longer.*** |
# You can use your computer during this time as long as the power adapter is plugged in. | |
# With the computer still on, disconnect the power adapter and continue to use your computer. | |
# When you see the low battery warning, save your work and close all applications. Keep your computer turned on until it goes to sleep. | |
- | # |
+ | # ***After your computer goes to sleep, turn it off or allow it to sleep for five hours or longer.*** |
# Connect the power adapter and leave it connected until the battery is fully charged.[/quote] | |

+ | Note that Apple seemingly doesn’t trust your system to know when the battery is fully charged ***''or''*** discharged, and wants you to keep it on the charger an extra two hours just to make sure, before you proceed with the calibration. |
This seems to align with what we’ve learned, and matches other battery calibration DIYs around the web. |
