Why does my iphone 4 battery drain so fast?

So I'm currently using the iphone 4 and I have turned off 3G and everything that drains my battery and it doesn't drain much overnight (only 2%), but when I'm using Wi-Fi it just drains like crazy…10% for 20mins.is that normal? I have tried to drain it completely to improve my battery life as I heard it helps. But is it normal to drain so fast over Wi-Fi? If not then how do I fix it?

Try restoring it,

If not
It's happened,
Since the iPhone 4 was released in 2010, 5 years ago. It is becoming old
Take it to a local repair shop and get a new battery
Or take it to Apple to do
Usually a new battery will fix this issue

It's really old. The average cell phone life is 4 years ish, and that's how long the iPhone 4 has been out. They put a set life span on it to force you into getting a new phone.

  • Why does my IPhone battery drain when in my car? My phone could be at 100% and within 10 minutes it'll be down to 1% when I'm in my car. Why is this?
  • Why does my iPhone battery drain so quick? I took my phone off the charger at about 9:30am, it's now 10:01am and it was on 100%, I hardly used it, I only went on Facebook to check the newsfeed and reply to an inbox and now it's on 87%? I was watching it go down and it goes down 1% roughly every 2 minutes. It's been happening for about a week now and I'm lucky if my phone lasts me half a day. What can I do (WITHOUT BUYING A NEW PHONE)
  • Why does my iphone 5s battery power drain so fast recently? So within the last 2 weeks I've been noticing that my battery power has been going down a lot faster than it normally did. In the past 5 minutes it went down by 5% and seems to be draining even when I turn it off. I haven't updated it at all and have only had it for 4 months. Does anybody know what's wrong?
  • Why does my iphone 5s battery drain so quick? So I never have my 3G on as I know it's a real battery killer, my brightness is always at it's lowest and I rarely ever go on my phone yet still somehow my 100 percent battery at most will last 2-3 hours rarely ever that?
