How much cycle counts is 86% battery health hold?

I have an iPhone 14 Pro and the battery health is on 86%! It has been on this number for quite a while now. I do have a shortcut to tell me how many cycle counts I have but of course that doesn’t really work any more. Of course Apple doesn’t let older models see how much cycles they have though. So about how much cycles is 86%?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18

The battery in an iPhone 14 Pro was designed to go 500 cycles before it reaches 80% Battery Health.


So, on average, the battery will decline about 1% for every 25 charge cycles.


If your battery health is at 86%, then the battery has gone through about 350 Charge Cycles.


But......all that really matters is that you replace the battery when it is down to 80% Battery Health, because at that point it will have gone through 500 Charge Cycles.


That will be about 5-7 months from now.
