    Hi rlgilley,

     

    You might find the following resource helpful in troubleshooting iPhone battery life:

    Battery life seems short


     

     


    • If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.

     

    • When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this iPhone-ChargingIcon.jpg.
      

     

    Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.

     

    Note: Charging with a FireWire-based power source is not supported, except on original iPhone.

     

    If you continue to have battery-life issues, we may need to isolate the issue further. It might be best to restore your iPhone as new, then test once more:

    Thanks,
