IPhone 4 battery draining very fast?

I have been having problems with my iPhone 4. The battery first started to go flat on 18% but after a few wks it now goes flat on 80% an even as soon as i take it off charge. While its on charge over night I wake up n it's flat an takes up to 2 hrs to turn on. I don't know what's wrong with it, can anyone help me please

I think you should go to the apple store, they might replace it

I received an update today with the details being that they fixed this exact problem. (iOS 6.2.1)

There are three possibilities: 1. Maybe you have things like 4G, Bluetooth, fetch notifications, on and they drain battery pretty quick. Or maybe 2. U addicted your battery to do that by not having a schedule for charging (ex. Charging when it's at 80%) so it gets addicted to do that and then you can't stop it. Or 3.It's broken go to an apple store.

  • Why is the battery on my iPhone 4S suddenly draining so fast? It used to use a reasonable amount for a smart phone, but starting this week, I can lose 50% of the charge in one day with minimal use.
  • Why is my iPhone 4S battery draining so fast? I have an iPhone 4S that's less the 6 months old and the battery is draining super quick even when it's not being used, for example when it's locked and in my desk draw at work not being used its loosing about 10% in 10 minutes! What should I do?
  • Why do I do this? I'm very very very tired yet I don't want to sleep? I want to sleep because I'm practically blinking and bobbing my head side to side like a drunken man but I just don't want to sleep. I watch tv or go on Facebook or play on my iPhone. And I'm starting to get dark circles. And as a guy I don't wear. Concealer or whatever
  • My iphone battery life is draining very fast? I have the Iphone 4 which I got in January. I got it used from apple. It was working fine but about 3 days ago the battery life began to drain faster. For example yesterday it charged all last night and the next morning by 11:00am it's at 68% I don't have any notifications on beside text messages. My brightness is very low. What could be causing this? Is there anything I can do? Are there secrets to keeping a longer battery life? Best answer is getting 5 stars.
