A charging cycle is defined as the process of charging a battery from 0% to 100% and then discharging it back to 0%. iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch all have a limited number of charging cycles, typically several hundred, after which the battery’s capacity may degrade. Battery Health provides information on the number of charging cycles the battery has undergone.
