Maximum capacity – it will show a percentage, lower capacity will mean shorter usage time. Peak Performance – It tells the user how the CPU is running, and if the device battery is healthy then it will show “Your battery currently supports conventional peak performance.” If the battery life is not good, it shows “This iPhone has started to unexpectedly shut down because the battery does not provide the necessary peak power.” This means that the device needs to reduce the CPU at this time, but the user can choose not to do so Let the CPU continue to run at full speed. If you choose to run at full speed, the device will pop up a hint that the device may not provide peak power and that an unexpected shutdown may occur.
According to Apple, “Batteries will start at 100 percent when first activated and will have lower capacity as the battery chemically ages which may result in fewer hours of usage between charges. Apple says a normal battery will retain up to 80 percent of its original capacity at 500 complete charge cycles under normal conditions.”
