Battery drains fast after being replaced for 3 weeks only

I wonder if Apple did replace a new battery for my iPhone 6s. It’s only been roughly 3 weeks. It drains so fast even I was just browsing sites without watching videos or listening to music or having other apps on while browsing. I’ve noticed it since I took my phone back aftering being replaced. (The battery level was at 9%). And I was told that they couldn’t keep it as high capacity which I understood that. However, the performance of the battery life has been being sucked out for unreasonable speed I’d say.


Like I charged my phone last night to as 100% before I went to bed. And I turned it off for a whole night then turned it on after 9am. All I have been doing are briefly checking emails, Instagram and photos without listening to music or watching videos. Up until this moment (10:30-am), it’s been on for over barely an hour using my phone. The battery level has already drained to as 70%. It’s never happened when I first bought my phone. I’ve never been a heavy user which I why my old battery level was at 83% capacity when I took it to Apple store for replacement. It’s really odd that the performance of this “new” battery has been draining so rapidly. I wonder if the battery I’ve got is really a brand new battery.

Cestlavie708,


See the section "View battery usage information" in the link below to see the apps that are consuming your battery:

Maximizing Battery Life and Lifespan


If you have not upgraded to iOS 12.0, do it now and then check “Battery Health” in the link:

iPhone Battery and Performance


What does it show?


If you think that it is not working correctly, go back to where you had the battery replaced.


Let us know how it turns out.

Thanks for the help! And I’ve tried of what you suggested. Yet, the battery has dropped 10% in a hour. I was just checking email, Instagram, changing my settings and texting for a bit since I turned on my phone around 11am this morning. I turned it off around 12:00am last night after my phone was being fully charged at 100%.


Like I mentioned it before, when I first got my iPhone 6S 3 years ago. I didn’t need to charge my phone every single day. I’ve never been a heavy tester as well. Yet, it totally not the case with the “new” battery now. Feeling like being ripped off by Apple if they didn’t replace a brand new battery for me. As you can see the screenshots I captured for today usage. Please help!
