iPhone 5 or earlier Coconut Battery app

[vim147]

I have a iPhone 5s, Never had a battery change. Ive downloaded the coconut battery app to check its condition.

What does the 54% in red mean ? Does it mean i should change the battery ?

Yes, your battery’s capacity has been reduced by 50%. Time for a replacement

 

[vim147]

Would this improve the speed of the phone ? i believe apple throttle older phones with the new software upgrade now ?
Also would it make the battery last longer with the replacement.
I currently get around 3-4 days on standby as i don't really use this phone.

With that little use I would save my money for a new phone when you want one. 3 days is still great standby time.

Can’t answer the throttling question. You’d have to run benchmarks at different battery percentages to see if its happening

Hardly costs much to replace the battery. I can do it myself. I just use this as a spare phone but if its only giving my 50% battery then might swell change it for £15 new battery.

Can you recommend a app to do benchmarks ?

I'll second that - cycle count is 814, and full charge capacity is only half the design capacity, new battery time

Time for a new battery. These batteries are designed for around 500 cycles at 80% original capacity.

Since your battery is gonsky, the device will be slower thanks to Apple’s sneaky throttling of the performance.

Anyone tell me what these scores mean ?
I used geek bench on my iPhone 5s
how do these scores compare ?

Your cycle count is high.

Your cycle count is high.

Weed will do that to you.

Your 5s is not being throttled. A new battery will give you longer standby time, but not higher performance.

Your 5s will not be throttled by Apple due to a weak battery. Only iPhone 6 and later are affected. From Apple:

"Last year we released a feature for iPhone 6, iPhone 6s and iPhone SE to smooth out the instantaneous peaks only when needed to prevent the device from unexpectedly shutting down during these conditions. We've now extended that feature to iPhone 7 with iOS 11.2, and plan to add support for other products in the future."

I'll be changing my battery in the new year.
Anyone recommend a supplier for a genuine battery in UK ?

The good is that your phone now has quick charge with x2 charging speed compared to a new iPhone 5s
