My iphone 5 battery drains 2% every 1 minute. Is it normal?

My iPhone 5's battery drains 2% every 1 minute. Is my battery absolutely fine?

If it is on and not using any data or bluetooth (in that they are off) then no it is not normal. Very abnormal and fault battery possible

Try lowering the volume and erasing all the past history you did on your phone and when charging it put it on airplane mode as it helps.

That's happening to my iphone 5 after i updates my ios to 7. There was a huge buZz about this after ios 7 released. Apple hasn't fixed it.

That is simply not acceptable. Since it is under warranty, you should return it to the service centre for a change of battery, and internal inspection for correcting the defect.

No, it is not normal your iphone 5. You can check your iphone 5 for service center.

Cell phone questions belong in the cell phone category ( HINT: It's under the Consumer Electronics tab ).

Leave the CARS & TRANSPORTATION section to actual questions regarding cars & transportation.

It is definitely not. When you are doing no thing and (idle) and still it drains that that explains much of it. You gotta replace it or fix it by giving it to the iphone store or to any mobile specialist.

Tips to keep your battery health:
Your smartphone is a minor miracle, a pocket-sized computer that can fulfill almost every whim. But none of its superpowers matter a bit if it runs out of juice. With removable batteries becoming more and more rare, you've got to take good care of the one you got. Fortunately, it's not to hard keep the lithium-ion powering your everything machine happy if you follow a few simple rules.

Obviously, the first rule for extending your battery life is not using up all your battery life playing candy crush and walking around with Wi-Fi and GPS enabled when you're not using either and really, really need your phone to last that extra hour. But aside from that, there are some basic rules for care and charging, and they're the simplest baseline for a healthy battery.

Top it off

You may vaguely recall hearing something about rechargeable batteries and the "memory effect." You know, that if you don't "teach" your rechargeable batteries their full potential by taking them from totally full to totally empty, they'll "forget" part of their capacity. Well forget all that. Right now. It's wrong.

Battery memory is a real thing, but it applies to nickel-based batteries; your trusty sidekick (literal Sidekick or otherwise) doubtlessly has a lithium-ion battery, and it needs to be treated a little differently. Specifically, it should be topped off whenever you get the chance.

To get the most out of a lithium-ion battery, you should try to keep it north of 50 percent as much as possible. For the most part going from all the way full to all the way empty won't help; in fact, it'll do a little damage if you do it too often. That said, it's smart to do one full discharge about once a month for "calibration," but don't do it all the time. Running the whole gamut on a regular basis won't make your battery explode or anything, but it will shorten its lifespan.

But! You don't want to have it charging all the time either; lithium-ion batteries can get overheated. Luckily for you, your charger is smart enough to help with this, and will cut your phone off for a spell once it's full. And to complicate matters a little further your battery doesn't particularly like being all the way full either. In fact, your battery will behave the best if you take it off the charge before it hits 100 percent, and leaving it plugged when it's already full is going to cause a little degradation.

So if you're really particular about optimizing your battery's life, you should try to go from around 40 percent to around 80 percent in one go, and then back down whenever possible. A bunch of tiny charges isn't as bad as going from 100 down to zero all the time, but it's not optimal either.

Keep it cool

It's easy to worry about bad charging habits thanks to the training we've had from old rechargeable batteries, but lithium-ion batteries have a worse enemy: heat. Your smartphone's battery will degrade much much faster when it's hot, regardless of whether it's being used or just sitting around doing nothing.
