My 6 month old iPhone 5 battery registered 67%, then I was recording a video for all of 2 minutes
when suddenly my iPhone shut down.
Surely my battery is ok. I think the battery needs re calibrating to give a more accurate representation of battery status.
How do I do this?
Thank you.
This is a fault of the battery. It is swelking and causing the phone to shut down due to pressure on the circuit board inside.
Go to an Apple Store to discuss your options . They will often quote to replace the battery and replace the entire handset with a refurbished unit (the one I got was like new!!)
Hope this helps others out there suffering this fault.
Fortunately it is the apple cable and charger. Is the power brick the iPad charger? And it's still on the black screen with an empty battery icon, how do I know if it's turned off or how do I turn it off? Why is this risky?
NNo it won't do that. I'm saying it's the black screen with a battery icon in th middle with a red bar in it. no matter how long I hold the power/sleep button it stays on that screen. It'll turn on it just takes forever

Plug it in & hold both the Power & Home button until you see the Apple logo.
Apple no longer recommends anything in your original post be done anymore. Read here:
You can ignore Platnumk's post, as you can no longer "calibrate" an iPhone battery. All you can do is "calibrate" the battery percentage icon, nothing more.
Talk about arguing a minor semantical point. All the user cares about is having an accurate battery percentage icon. And PlatnumK's advice will assist with that.
Apple may not have that recommendation on that page anymore, but it is still a supported procedure by Apple. It's remains a recommended troubleshooting step by Apple Support.
Gus stop polemizating about calibrating batt. and charging .. waste of time .. just buy new batt. for £5 quid is worth and u good to go .. very easy to replace ..
I tried this last night, and so far so good. Thanks for the info!

Hi
Do you know if there's a method of hard resseting the phone using assistive touch or if there's any other way of doing it?
What is "hard reset"?
Hi Ponty79,
Thank you so much for the link, I checked to see if my phone was eligible and it is!
Luke
It sounds as if its now showing the correct amount of charge, place phone back on charge and allow it to fully change (without using it) and you should then be go to go
I will let it charge overnight and see if that helps. Because I charged it for several hours and it wouldn't turn on still (black screen with empty battery icon). I hope it will turn on By morning
The risk is that it may not come back on at all.
To turn off hold sleep/wake button until the Slide To Turn Off appears And slide the red dot from left to right.
HHappen the same calibrate like planktun told.
