    Here are some tips for that

    Increase battery life

    • Turn down brightness
    • wait till battery is below 20% and charge to 100% (try to do this at least once every month)
    • Go to usage settings and find the main culprit Settings > General > Usage
    • Double click the home button and slide the panels up on any apps you don't want running in the background
    • stop location tracking apps Settings > Privacy > Location Services (you can disable apps or the location service completely)
    • Reduce moving (dynamic) background Settings > General > Accessibility
    • disable some notification widgets (pull down from top screen) press edit and get rid of some you don't use
    • avoid bad signals and turn off wifi when in a no wifi zone (slide up and press the wifi button)
    • Turn off auto update (and update when charging or when you have battery) Settings > iTunes and App Store > Automatic Downloads > Update and turn it off
    • Turn off Bluetooth and airdrop unless your using it

    Maintain battery life

    • Avoid over charging
    • don't use it while its charging

     

    Hope this help

    Likely due to normal degradation of the battery with time and use. With time and use the run time decreases.
