BTW it is normal to use 2% just to power it up.

Wrong! Charge it to 100% every night all night.

Why are you doing this? You're putting unnecessary strain on your iPhone. The best thing you can do is plug it in to charge when you go to bed at night and leave on charge ALL night EVERY night. And using a Charge Limit for most of the senior members here on this forum, many who have been here for years and years don't use one. It's more gimmick than anything. I charge my iPhones all night to 100%. They learn from your charging routine and pause the charging after a few days to 80%, then just before you wake up, it will finish charging to 100%. Your phone will do it's normal housekeeping background activities while you sleep, the phone will backup every night, so you're only a few hours without data if you need to restore the phone.
