Why Battery Health is a Priority When Buying a Refurbished iPhone
If you're looking for a refurbished iPhone, battery life is likely at the top of your list of requirements. Why, after all, would you want a slender iPhone if it won't get you through a full day of usage? With increasing numbers of Irish consumers seeking out refurbished smartphones for cost-effectiveness and eco-friendliness, it's important to understand what role battery life plays — and how Fone 4 U is stepping up to fill these demands.
What Is iPhone Battery Health?
Battery health is a measure of how much charge an iPhone battery holds compared to when it was new. All lithium-ion batteries degrade over time. That is, even a well-maintained iPhone will have its battery life diminished, and eventually, it won't hold a charge long enough to be helpful for normal use.
New iPhone battery at 100% capacity. Below 80%, they start feeling the slower performance, random restarts, and dreaded "low battery" message earlier than normally expected.
Why Battery Health Is a New Standard
At Fone 4 U, we believe refurbished phones should work as well as or better than customers would expect right out of the box. That's why all refurbished iPhones here are stringently tested for battery performance and condition, and models with low performance are refurbished with new batteries or taken out of resale entirely.

Battery Health or Budget: Which Is the Best Choice?
For most customers, a phone with 86% battery health is plenty. It's more than enough to get through a whole day of browsing, streaming, and messaging — and that's adequate for students, working professionals, and occasional users. But if you are an intense user, travel or work quite frequently, or rely heavily on your phone at work, spending the extra money on a phone with a fresh battery is well worth it.
