When to replace iPhone 5c Battery?

Do you have any idea on when to replace battery?

- By iPhone 5c Battery life cycle? Over 500 or 1000?

- Battery problem symptom?

- Age of the iPhone? How to check the first activation date of a second hand iPhone?

You need to know how the phone behaved during normal use:

examples:

new: full days use, ended at around 20%
now: full days use, already 0% around 3pm

new: heavy usage, drained after 4 hours full screen, browsing movie etc
now: drained after 2 hours full screen, browsing movie etc.

If these examples are similiar to your situation, only then do you need to replace the battery. If you HAVE NO ISSUES at all, no battery replacement is needed.

If it's a second hand phone, you don't have these statistics, so you have to ask a friend or someone with the same exact phone, and ask his/hers statistics (how long for light usage to drain, how long for heavy usage to drain), and compare with your usage.

Thanks all for valuable comments.

You are very welcome. I turned my iPhone SE on at 6 this morning, and here it is 9 1/2 hours later after much use and several lengthy phone calls and I am at 87% capacity. I am very happy with this new Apple phone.
