Replaced iPhone 6 Plus battery but it seems to still drain fast?

Replaced iPhone 6 Plus battery but it seems to still drain fast?

So I replaced my iPhone 6 Plus battery back in June. I decided to replace the battery because I got it from my cousin, and the original battery seemed to be draining pretty fast. So after replacing the battery, I still noticed that the battery would drain pretty quickly while using it. From what I can tell, sometimes it'll lose about 10% in an hour from about medium usage. The battery doesn't seem to drain if I'm not using it though. Honestly I'm at a lost as to what to do. All the googling I did hasn't turned up anything useful. It would be very much appreciated if someone could help me find a solution. I'm not sure if it could be the iOS it's on, or a hardware issue. I'm currently on iOS 10.3.3, but I was on 10.3.1 at the time of the battery replacement.

Hi, i already replaced my old iphone6 battery but still don’t get normal peak performance. It says your battery’s health is significantly degraded but my maximum capacity is 100%

"There's a couple of reasons for battery drain

We always struggle finding good batteries, used lots of different suppliers etc always hard to find a good replacement battery, it could be the battery that is just not 100%.

There could be a short on the board being in water etc, that short usually causes heat so have a look if there is any unusual heat around on the phone board.

The screen generally drains a lot of power, to make the screen light up that takes the most power, so when your using it, the screen will be lit up that is a giant screen, so that will be using the most power at the time, if its extremely high drain compared to another 6 plus thats got a good battery then I would look into the other 2 items above."

I replaced mine for my 6s a few weeks ago, and it seems to me that the new battery is draining as fast or faster than the old one. I have an app that reads battery capacity etc. and it says my battery is 100%. Very frustrating. Did you every find a solution?

Didn’t it come out that Apple was actually degrading the battery life on iphones through upgrades? F*ck you for that by the way Apple. So like Jmdin stated, they just want you to upgrade. In fact in Cali I believe they were found guilty in court and are ordered to replace faulty batteries caused by upgrades. Again, F*ck you Apple, you salty little C*nts. :-)
