I have an iPhone 5 that does qualify for the battery replacement. About a
month ago, with 7.1.2, it started having this problem. Calibrating the
battery does not end up helping the situation. Now, if I am going to be
away from my charger, I never let it drop much below 50 percent, being that
I have had it shut down with 38 percent charge. The worst example is the
day I first had a problem, at work, when it was at about 85 per cent, and
completely and absolutely dead less than three hours later, without having
been used in the intervening time. I hope it is the bad battery
situation.

Subject: Battery oddness with iphone 5 and 8.1.1
Dear all,
So I have updated to 8.1.1 on an iPhone 5 and so far, I am enjoying the
experience until now which is a concern.
Basically, this Sunday gone, I woke up and check my battery percentage and
it was at 28% unlocked the phone and started using it and just like that
Voiceover said "iphone shutting down."
Today, early in the morning my phone was at 18%. As before, unlocked it,
started using it and sure enough the same message came up.
Here are the two things that I'm worried about though.
1. This is a big concern but when the phone shuts down, the only way I can
get it to start up again is to plug it into charge and when I here the two
birbrations, and a few seconds later the phone is on again. Today, when it
died at 18% I waited till it came on again through the use of the charger,
took it off, and sure enough, a bit later it died again around the 18% mark.
2. If anyone knows, why isn't the battery percentage being accurate? Its got
me a bit worried because I've never had this kind of problem before. I just
wanted to know, am I on my own? Fingers crossed, I'm hoping its a software
issue and not a hardware one that is targeted at my device.
If anyone has got any experience on the matter then I would love to know how
you managed to resolve it. If at all.
Many thanks
Daniel
