How much do you have left? Thirty-eight percent is America\u2019s \u201cpanic percentage\u201d when it comes to battery life,\u00a0according to new research<\/a>.<\/p>\n The\u00a0survey of 2,000 Americans<\/a>\u00a0pinpointed precisely what level of remaining phone battery people reach before they start to worry or seek out a way to get charged.<\/p>\n Results showed anxiousness creeps in relatively early, with well over a third of battery life left (38%) revealed as the average level before worry sets in.<\/p>\n And at just under 40%, America\u2019s phone life panic percentage strikes well before the Apple iPhone battery symbol \u2014 which will turn red automatically for anything under 20% of charge.<\/p>\n The survey, conducted by\u00a0Talker Research<\/a>, found a cooler third of Americans (34% of those surveyed) feel content waiting until the juice runs to below 20% before thoughts of finding a charge start to really creep in.<\/p>\n While an exceptionally casual one in eight (13%) say they don\u2019t worry about their phone\u2019s charge until it falls beneath 10%.<\/p>\n At the other end of the spectrum, a quarter of Americans (24%) start to worry about their phone\u2019s battery life before it\u2019s even dropped to half full.<\/p>\n Charging worry is stronger among the younger generations, with older generations happier to let the charge drop lower before concern kicks in.<\/p>\n Gen Z\u2019s threshold for the worry to start building starts at just 44% of battery life remaining \u2014 millennials are similar at 43%.<\/p>\n Gen Xers allow themselves more leeway before worrying about their device and won\u2019t start worrying about charge until it drops to 38%.<\/p>\n Boomers are the most relaxed generation when it comes to their phone battery, waiting until 34% on average to start looking for an outlet.<\/p>\n And does the way you display your phone battery say a lot about your personality? Many Americans think so.<\/p>\n If you have only the battery level visible, you\u2019re in the minority \u2014 39% of Americans opt to judge their level of juice on the bar alone.<\/p>\n While 61% of people have the numerical percentage display to know the precise remaining amount of battery they have left.<\/p>\n Survey methodology:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\nYounger Generations Worry Earlier Than Older Ones About Phone Charge<\/strong><\/h2>\n
