How to do it

  1. Open Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging.
  2. Read off the value.
  3. If no percentage appears, have the battery checked at an Apple Store or an authorised service provider.

Why it works

The value compares the capacity with that of a new battery. At 90 percent, it can only store 90 percent of its original capacity.
