iPhone 12 Pro Max battery at 98% and always recharges to 98% (never 99% or 100%)

Anyone else have this issue with their iPhone 12 (any version?). Not sure why it always show 98% regardless of how long charged. Anyone have a fix on a brand new phone?

I only fully charged mine once to 100% and once I took it off the charger around 70%.
The first time it charged up to 100% without issue.

Likely Not a battery issue. Most likely the % not showing properly. You can try and calibrate it, by running the battery down to 1%, then charge it back up to 100%. This used to work. No clue these days.

Just happened to me. Go to Battery, Battery Health and turn off Optimized Battery Charging. It fixed my issue. Was stuck at 98%. It is 100% now.

Thanks, I found that answer on another forum and mine’s back at 100%. Thanks for mentioning it. :)

Hi what forum and what did you do to make it back to 100%?

Sorry, that was 7-months ago, I can't recall what forum it was... but the answer is above too >>> [FONT=&quot]Just happened to me. Go to Battery, Battery Health and turn off Optimized Battery Charging. It fixed my issue. Was stuck at 98%. It is 100% now.<<< [/FONT]
