Just got an iPhone 5 should i let the battery drain?

Got an iphone 5 couple of hours ago and when i turned it on it was abouit 50%. Its 5% now should i let it drain then charge to 100% apparently i heard thats good to do, not sure?

Let the battery die a couple of times. The battery life last longer that way.

I had read a news about the battery. It said it's good to let it drain once per month. I had try several times and found not thing happen. So I give up this way. Btw, the battery has the most age times. It's about 500 times. So when the battery become 100%, pull up the data line. Hope it can help you

As stated, Apple suggests a full battery cycle about once per month to increase overall performance and life of your battery. This means a full charge, then a completely dead battery and a full charge. Try that every so often and just charge as needed in between. Out of personal experience, this does help a bit. I'll also inform you that when I got my iPhone 5, battery seemed a bit off. But it just needs some time to "break in". Give it a week or so of normal charging and use if you feel it's lacking. Also remember that you can check your battery usage. Tab into Settings, General, Usage. Scroll down a bit and you'll find the time since last charge among other statistics.

  • Battery on my iPhone 4S doesn't fully drain? My battery life is weird instead of draining all the way down to 1% it dies at around 12%? What can I do to change this? Or improve battery life overall?
  • What should I do to solve battery drain issues on my iPhone 6? Should I calibrate my iPhone 6 battery or reboot to solve issues with battery drain? Certain apps like Snapchat really drain my battery and if my settings say that Snapchat takes 62% of my battery usage in background activity, does that I mean I should delete the app?
  • Should i let my Iphone battery drain to 0%? My i phone battery last so much. If i charge at morning and check it at night the battery life is still (90-79%) but is it also ok to let my iphone batter drain till o% some of my friend told me its good to do that.
  • Should I completely drain my iPhone 5c's battery before first charge? I've just got my brand new iPhone 5c today and it came with about 90% battery when I first turned it on. I'm now on it and it has 55% charge. I'm wondering wether I should drain the battery to 0% then fully recharge it to 100%, that's what used to be recommended but I'm not sure if you still have to do it. Will you please let me know what I should do. I will get to sleep in around 2 hours, FYI.
