Chosen Solution
So I replaced my iPhone 6 Plus battery back in June. I decided to replace the battery because I got it from my cousin, and the original battery seemed to be draining pretty fast. So after replacing the battery, I still noticed that the battery would drain pretty quickly while using it. From what I can tell, sometimes it’ll lose about 10% in an hour from about medium usage. The battery doesn’t seem to drain if I’m not using it though. Honestly I’m at a lost as to what to do. All the googling I did hasn’t turned up anything useful. It would be very much appreciated if someone could help me find a solution. I’m not sure if it could be the iOS it’s on, or a hardware issue. I’m currently on iOS 10.3.3, but I was on 10.3.1 at the time of the battery replacement. One more thing, while I was putting in the new battery, the battery connector cable got a little bent because it wasn’t straight on with the opening. Could that possibly be the issue? If anyone has an iPhone 6 Plus that can compare their battery life with mine, it would be helpful. Thank you.
Since you are using a Mac, you can load up Coconut Battery and use it to monitor the exact battery status of your iOS devices. http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutba…
10% per hour sounds perfectly normal, beats mine by a wide margin. This is just you being paranoid.
Hi, i already replaced my old iphone6 battery but still don’t get normal peak performance. It says your battery’s health is significantly degraded but my maximum capacity is 100%
There’s a couple of reasons for battery drain We always struggle finding good batteries, used lots of different suppliers etc always hard to find a good replacement battery, it could be the battery that is just not 100%. There could be a short on the board being in water etc, that short usually causes heat so have a look if there is any unusual heat around on the phone board. The screen generally drains a lot of power, to make the screen light up that takes the most power, so when your using it, the screen will be lit up that is a giant screen, so that will be using the most power at the time, if its extremely high drain compared to another 6 plus thats got a good battery then I would look into the other 2 items above.
I replaced mine for my 6s a few weeks ago, and it seems to me that the new battery is draining as fast or faster than the old one. I have an app that reads battery capacity etc. and it says my battery is 100%. Very frustrating. Did you every find a solution?
Didn’t it come out that Apple was actually degrading the battery life on iphones through upgrades? Fck you for that by the way Apple. So like Jmdin stated, they just want you to upgrade. In fact in Cali I believe they were found guilty in court and are ordered to replace faulty batteries caused by upgrades. Again, Fck you Apple, you salty little C*nts. :-)
