How to calibrate iPhone battery?

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.
