Well, the Apple store in Portland, Oregon, won't replace a battery until it drops below 80 percent. But, that is if they are under warranty. For about $49 you can have a battery replaced out of warranty. At least, that is my understanding.

The battery on my 6S Plus was at 84% last year when I asked at an Apple Store to have it replaced when they offered the $29.99 battery replacement and the technician said they can certainly do this given it's at 84%. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of kelby carlson Sent: Tuesday, October 15, 2019 7:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Battery Draining Fast and Charging Slowly In the last week or so, my phone's battery has been behaving extremely oddly. When not charging, the battery drains very quickly; it can often lose at least 5% in a couple of minutes. Conversely, when I have it plugged in, it charges very slowly, maybe 1% every five minutes or so. It is an iPhone 7 that is a little more than 2 years old. I'm not running iOS 13 yet because of the bug with ending calls and losing speech. I don't think it can be a problem with the lightning port, because it does charge when plugged in the wall and a computer. However, if I am doing something like uploading to iCloud, it can actually drain even while plugged in. When I check the battery health, it is at 84%. Is it time for a battery replacement?
