iphone 5s battery will not stay charged

I have followed all the suggestions posted and I have been out to Apple, can anyone help? Last night the battery drained from 100% to zero. I had nothing on but the alarm. I do not play games on the phone. I do not do email on the phone. I back up to icloud but I have a windows 8 pc not a mac. I seem to notice it more with cellular LTE turned on. I use wifi all the time because I do not have much data. It is on OAS 9.1. Please help this is driving me nuts.

iPhone 5s, iOS 9.1

Try to follow the instructions on this page in order to maximize your battery life:

Try to reset your device. This won't delete your data stored on the phone.

  • Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
  • Press and hold on the Home button
  • Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.

You may also try to reset all settings: go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings

You may also try to follow these steps:

1. Navigate to settings/general/ battery usage. Check the applications. This will show you which app eats up your battery.

2. Turn off iCloud keychain: Navigate to Settings/ iCloud/Keychain / turn it off.

3. Limit apps activity on the background: Navigate to Settings/ general/ Background App refresh/ turn it off for each application which uses to much power.

4. Disable auto brightness: Navigate to settings/ display and brightness/ auto-brightness. Turn this option off.

If nothing helps take your device to the Apple Store for further diagnostics.
