I am using iPhone 5 from the day it was launched in India. My brother , husband , daughter

My iPhone 5 battery runs down very fast at nights while not in use. Whole going off to bed if the battery shows 85% by morning 6:00 it's switched off. When I am travelling & I read low battery I cannot access phone after 12% as it automatically switches off & at same point my husband who also uses iPhone 5 his phone survives even at 1%. Please guide me to as to how I can enjoy more battery life.

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4

Try these step from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802



Battery life seems short

  1. Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
  2. Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
  3. Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
  4. 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.
  5. 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 User uploaded file.
    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.
