Battery life of 5s

[iMore Question]

Hi...
I have my iphone 5s for a month I guess it's battery life is awful

with 2% charge:
usage: 6 hours, 30 minutes
Standby: 15 hours, 42 minutes

is that normal or not??

If you have 2% left at that rate it seems to me you are doing fine. Also once a month let your phone die and shut off to condition your battery and you will be fine.

That's not awful at all...

Actually, not to bad at all.

Not too shabby. I'm a power user, mine doesn't last that long.

I edited my post but that still is not bad at all. You are using all of your battery.

Yes you are doing fine and remember what I mentioned about letting your phone turn off once a month to cycle your battery.

sure thanks...
one other question, what about the other time of charging it??below 20% or what?

That's pretty good usage. I only get on average 5 hours to a full charge. But I'm on my phone all the time

Depends on how you use your phone.

I would love to get that battery life with my phone lol. I'm charging mine by the end of the workday, but with that said I am on it constantly for work.

It's got an incredible idle time. I've been mostly using my 5c.
