Does my battery drain too fast or is it still ok?

Well, I've earned an used iPhone and its battery lasts for 5 hours of use, more or less. I think it's worn out, but once it's my first iPhone, I can't say for sure. Could someone please tell me if this is normal or if I should replace the battery?

Even a good battery can die within a few hours of use. It all depends on how the phone is being used. There is a battery replacement program for some iPhone 5's. Enter your serial number here and see if you qualify.

You can also go into setting > general > usage > battery usage. Let the list populate and it will show you which app is using the most battery usage.

If you do think you need a new battery then have it done at either an Apple store or an Authorized Apple Service Provider. There are no user serviceable parts in a iPhone.

IPod Touch battery draining too fast?

Recently, the battery life on my iPod touch has been draining too fast. Before I synced my iPod into my new laptop with a new iTunes, my battery life was very long, as I could go on for weeks before it was below 20%. Now, I can go from 100% down to 10% in under a minute.
Even if I charge overnight or have 100%, any time my iPod is unlocked, the battery drains fast. I've done several methods to try and solve the problem, such as deleting apps, lowering brightness, turn off background apps, and even bought the battery life app (which I've had before but it seems to do nothing now). Whether I use the camera, play a game, or surf the internet, the battery bar will go down really fast. Sometimes I'll have half of battery life left and all of a sudden, my iPod turns off because it instantly went frm 50% to 0%. Even harmless actions such as the clock or just staying on the home screen will drain more battery than it usually does. The music app seems to be the only one that can last longer than an hour, but even then, just leaving it in the background will deplete the battery faster than usual, as opposed to it being in the background for hours and not taking away any percentage.
My iPod still recharges normally (and quickly), and for some reason if I lock my iPod while it has a low percentage, when I unlock it again, a lot of battery is regained... and then lost almost immediately.
I'm not sure if this has to do anything with me syncing to a new iTunes. I'm still under the same username and whatnot, and all I did was use home sharing to import all of my music from the old computer to the new one, so I wouldn't have to constantly go to my old computer to sync with my iPod.
I currently use a 4th generation iPod touch with 8GB.
I'm just wondering, what can I do to solve this issue, to return it to how it was before? As of now, I can't afford to replace the iPod, and I'm willing to send my iPod for repair as a last resort.
Thanks.

However, I suspect that your battery is just dying/wearingout. That happens with age and use.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one with a new battery for $79. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace your battery for less less. Google for more.

Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. You can purchase a replacment for about $15

Iphone 4s battery draining too fast

I just received my iphone 4s and I have upgraded from my 3s, after holding on for so long I am so disappointed with the battery life. after 2 phone calls the battery drains 15 %, I have turned off all the features to make sure it lasts me at least till I can charge it again. any solutions out there, off course apple says there is no problem, just like we have no problems with the economy.

Quick fix for you!!!!!!
Go to settings//Location Services//System Services//turn "Setting time Zone" and "Diagnostic & Usage" OFF.
These things will drain you to Zero fast. and tell Apple there is an issue with the Setting Time Zone feature.
Its constantly locating your phone second by second when it's suppose only work when you leave one time zone and go to another.

Battery drains too fast

Hello
I have this macbook air since now a year.
he always had a battery life time of about 9 up to even 12 hours, even on high usage.
until i needed a new charger and the macbook seller sold me a macbook pro charger (85 watt)
suddenly i only have 4 up to 8 hours battery lifetime (according to the announce at to p of screen beneath the battery sybolo on desktop)
effective life time is much under this
suddenly i (even without any apps open) have maybe 3 hours lifetime left on full charged battery
it states : 8 hours, 10 minutes later: 6 hours, 20 minutes later: 5 hours etc.
here are the details of the battery:
(translated form german, sorry, but this should not affect the "understandability" of the data:
(they are taken during usage in battery usage)
Left charge (in mAh): 3917
Full Load Capacity (in mAh): 4727 (was always around 5000 mah since i bought it)
Amount of charging cycles : 307
State: Good
Voltage (in mV): 8223 (was always way lower, since i bought it, around 5000 and 6000 mah)
I alwas use the charger (plugged in usage) although sometimes i don't.
I am "upset" about the different advices the give in the net about Mac batteries:
once we should NEVER let them under 50% charge
once they talk about calibrate the battery by exactly let them drain and keep it for even 5 hours "empty"
then again they state to use battery always down to low percent and recharge it...
I use since a short time a 85 W charger form Macbook pro, but net and MAcstore sellers state both this should not ale any issues
I'm wondering what happened to the battery, if there is some way to "become" back what i had before, a battery that worked at least 8 hours under "high pressure"
Can anybody help?
Go to apple shop does not come into question as in argentina this si like going to macdonalds and try to get a roast beef.
change the battery: impossible in macbook air.
Is my battery broken after not even 400 cycles and this without any reason?
i don't run any process (hidden) i checked with activity manager
i don't have stuff memorized on clipboard.
almost all data (without adobe programs and default mac programs) are stored on external disk.
i run almost only native mac programs.
Thank you!!!
Seriennummer:
ull

hello
thank you for the tip
i did a SMC reset, after all the other suggested steps.
result is a even lower battery life time, by 88% battery charge: 4 hours 12 minutes remaining, with no apps running.
I must say i have also upgraded to yosemite OS X 10, but since when should such a minimalistic and honestly downgrading OS decrease the life of a battery that hard?
I checked the battery status etc again, and this changed (to worse) as well:
(88% battery charge left - 4:12 hrs left)
-Left charge (in mAh): 3962
-Fully charged : no
-Battery is loading: no
-Full load capacity (in mAh): 4679
-amount of charging cycles: 312
-state: good
-"voltage using" (in mA): -867
-voltage (in mV): 8250
compared to before:
Left charge (in mAh): 3917
Full Load Capacity (in mAh): 4727 (was always around 5000 mah since i bought it)
Amount of charging cycles : 307
State: Good
Voltage (in mV): 8223 (was always way lower, since i bought it, around 5000 and 6000 mah)
full load capacity decreased and voltage increased again.
is this thing broken?
has anybody a idea WHY it is and WHAT could i do ?
battery has not yet reached the 1000 loads that i have been told will be the "breaking point" of a macbook air battery.
I am thankful of any info/idea/suggestion.

IPhone 4S battery draining too fast...Need to charge 3 times a day

Finally after 4 years I was very excited to get an iPhone that has all the features I wanted…but I am disappointed so far.
I purchased an iPhone 4S 32GB on 10/7 and has not been impressed with the battery life. I have to charge my iPhone at least 3 times a day. I go to work at 8 AM and by 11:30 AM the battery is at 20 %, so I charge it again which takes only about 60 to 120 minutes to charge, and by 5:30 PM I have to start charging again…the third charge has start around 11:30 PM and I have to keep the phone plugged overnight otherwise it will be dead by 6 AM.
I have read other posts on the web and people have suggested turning notifications, location services…etc which I went ahead and did but that did not change the battery issue. What is the purpose of having the iPhone 4S if all the features have to be turned off.
I always try to kill apps that running in background but still no fix to battery issue.
on 10/19/11 I went to Apple store and exchanged the phone with new one. The apple rep activated the phone for me and the charge was at 78 %. I left the store and 10 minutes later I was at my house, but again I was surprised to see the battery has drooped to 65 % within 10 minutes. While I was driving home I did not touch the phone or make/receive calls.
When I got home I plugged the phone and when it was charge at 100 % I unplugged it and 40 minutes later the battery dropped to 70 %.
Today I unplugged my iPhone 4s at 8:20 this morning with 100% and by 10:43 AM I am down to 63%. By 11:13 AM the battery was at 54% and by 11:46 AM the battery was down to 44% with me not touching it. I have turned everything off such notifications, locations services...etc and nothing in the background is working and I only used it for a 10 minute conversation.
It seemed that a lot of users are have similar issue. Not sure if the issue related to iOS 5, iPhone or bad batch of iPhone or iPhone batteries.
Before getting the iPhone 4S i had a 3GS from a family member that i had to charge at least 3 times a day. The only reason I got the new 4S is to not have to deal with frequent charge. I think I am 90 % close to returning the phone back to Apple and wait few months before attempting to purchase another phone.
Thanks.....B

What made the trick for me was to drain the phone completely - until it dies. (It took quite a while to go from 3% to 0...). Then, charge it overnight.
Previous days I would start charging it with the battery at 10-15%, on red. Also for the last week I've been trying disabling functions, with the hope of finding what was the "offending" piece but without much success. Still was loosing about 10% per hour, just by using it to check emails, maps, and sometimes a call.
Today is almost two hours since I left home, with everything turned on again, used mail, maps with traffic during the ride to work, some browsing - using it "normally" - and the battery is still at 95%.
That looks more like normal to me.!!
Might try to drain it to 0% again as many other suggested, but if it is a battery charger "calibration", it shouldn't be necesary to do it more than once.

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

Iphone 4s battery draining extremly fast

iphone 4s battery draining extremly fast, how annoying is that, Battery will be drain out within 12 hrs and I just usually watch 30 mins video (not using 3G/wifi) and 10mins on Phone .
I always turn off my Siri, Auto Detect Time Zone, 50% Brightness, NO background Apps are running and Mail is manually updated.
Does anyone facing the same problem?

Go to advanced and set icloud to manual I used to suffer from this because of icloud it was stuck in a loop and always draining the battery, try also resetting your network settings if it didn't work reset all settings and set it as a new phone drain the battery and charge it from 0 to 100% to recalibrate the battery , hope this works for you

Why is the battery draining so fast?

Everything in safari is shut down, all multi-tasking is turned off too. My phone is only 7 months old & has worked fine up until today when I noticed the battery draining so fast.

@ neeraj_96 - Thanks for the input, but that's not the issue. As I was saying in my reply, my phone has had a wonderful battery life up until yesterday. This has nothing to do with turning off fetching or lowering my brightness. I have done no major changes in the settings to my iPhone since yesterday, but now all the sudden I can barely hold a charge. I completely charged it last night to 100%. This morning I woke up and it was at 56%. My wife has an iPhone 4, hers was at 96% and this morning it is at 91%. Something is definitely up with my phone's battery that is not a normal operation.
I have tried to do a complete reboot of the phone (holding the power button and the home key down for 10 seconds) and that has not solved the problem. I would suspect that it's an application running in the background, but I figured, as @williamformlouisville stated, that would have killed any rouge application draining my battery, but it has not helped. This is definitely not normal for this phone's operation.

My Battery Draining Very Fast after Updateing 7.1.1

Your device might keep syncing your Emails, Contacts and some other applications.
Reboot your device in this manner, when the device On, connect to the wall outlet charger and remove the battery. Leave it for 30 minutes then reinsert. You may need to do it once a day, until the issues solved. Reboot in this manner will fix any incorrect battery meter and similar apps error.
