Optimized Battery Charging is a feature introduced by Apple to extend the lifespan of your device's battery. This feature is particularly important as it helps maintain battery health by reducing the time your device spends fully charged. By learning how to enable and manage this feature, users can ensure their devices remain efficient and reliable for a longer period.

Optimized Battery Charging works by learning your daily charging routine and predicting when your device will be plugged in for an extended period. It then delays charging past 80% until just before you need to use it. This reduces the wear on the battery and prevents it from staying at a high charge level for too long.
