I have to charge my iPhone 12 a few times a day with a replacement battery that’s less that one year old why is that?

Who replaced the battery? If it was Apple or an authorized service center, take it back and get it checked out.

If it was a third party repair shop, they didn't use a genuine Apple battery and there is no telling the quality of the battery they used. Apple doesn't sell parts to non Apple repair shops.

Could you please answer the other questions that we asked regarding the apps that are using the most power?


Overall, how is the cellular signal strength received by your iPhone? How many "bars" do you see on average? A weak or fair cellular signal can requires up to as much as 10 times more battery power, as the phone is constantly searching for a better signal.
