How to test an iPhone's Battery

Step 1 Get coconutBattery

• Head on over to the coconutBattery website and grab a copy of coconutBattery.
• I used coconutBattery 3.7 for this tutorial, and if the UI ever changes in the future I will promptly update this guide as needed.
• Hit that download button. It should be downloading into wherever you set your downloads to download to.
• coconutBattery Website

Step 2 Opening coconutBattery

• Lucky us! coconutBattery is already ready to run after being downloaded.
• Double click on the coconutBattery application.
• The location of where you have saved the coconutBattery application may vary. For me, I saved it to my Downloads folder.

Step 4 Information
• All done! Now you can see...
• Device information...
• Advanced device information...
• Battery information
• Charger information
• If you have been sent here by a user on the Answers Forum or are going to ask a question about your iDevice's battery on the answers forum, take a screenshot of this entire window and upload it with your question.
• If you are unsure how to upload your screenshot to your existing question, you can use guide Adding Images to an Existing Question.
• I was using my iPad for this guide because I left my iPhone at home. The steps should be no different with using an iPhone.
