IPhone 5 battery drains Really fast? From 30% to 16% in just 10 minutes?
This morning by the time I woke up the battery is 30%. Then, I checked my instagram for less than 10 minutes, then I got the 20% battery notification. But when I checked the battery, it was only 16%! From 30% to 16% just in 10 minutes! And then just about 3 minutes later, the battery drained into 14%. This is ridiculous. Yesterday I overcharged my phone for about 1 hour. Before that, I've overcharged maybe around 2-3 times, each overcharged for about 1 hour. I've had my iPhone since October 2013. Can someone please explain why this happened and how to prevent or solve this problem?
Most devices will not overcharge. They turn off automatically. I keep my cellphone plugged in most of the time. When it's full, it quits charging. I've had it plugged in for weeks at a time. I'm not sure about iPhones. The literature may warn about overcharging, but it is probably BS. You should probably plug your phone in at night, and then unplug it in the morning. The battery lasts longer by getting a full charge every day. If it is only half charged most of the time, then it won't last as long. A battery can be recharged like 500 times, and then it starts to go. Some batteries may last 1000 charges. It also depends on how hard the battery is worked. The more it is plugged into a charger, then the better.
Since your battery is now draining faster and not holding a charge as long, it is starting to go bad and needs to be replaced. Amazon.com is a good place to find one.
Like I said, I keep my cellphone plugged in for weeks at a time right beside me on my desk at my computer. I've never worried about overcharging it.
It can't drop that much in 10 mins unless the battery is going out. You could get a new battery put in and it would be like a new phone. You can't overcharge iphones.
If you're running iOS 7, turn of Background App refresh and automatic app downloads. You can also lower brightness, close apps you aren't using and turn off bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and data to save your battery life!
- New iphone battery still drains super fast? I have an iphone 4, as of last weekend the battery life drained like 2% every two to three minutes. I bought a new battery since then but it's doing the same thing. I was wondering if it was the screen that effecting it because it is badly broken. Parts a chipped off, or maybe something inside the phone that's causing it
