The general answer is that you have an app that is using more energy than usual. But based on the amount of information you have provided, a more detailed answer is impossible. Some basic questions:


  • What model phone (you said SE, but is that a first, second or third generation)?
  • What version of iOS?
  • How much storage does the phone have?
  • How much storage is free?
  • How long has it been since the phone was new?
  • Has the battery ever been replaced? If so, when was the battery replaced?
  • What are your charging habits - when do you charge, to what % do you charge, and what is the % when you start charging?
  • If you go to Settings/Battery, which apps are using the most energy, and how much?
  • If you go to Settings/Battery/Battery Health, what does it say under Peak Performance, and what is the Maximum Capacity?


If you can provide this information it will go a long way towards a discussion of your issue.

SE 3rd gen, model # MMX53LL/A, 16.5.1, 64GB,29.3 GB USED, orig battery, fairly new phone purchased 12/07/2022, normally chg to 100%, sometimes run it down to < 10%. Safari (23%) & Home & Lock Screen (16%) are the main drains. Max Capacity 100%. Using Optimized battery charging... This poor battery performance started about 2 weeks ago, had no problems before then. Could it be the latest software upgrade?
