iPhone 5 major battery help

[chillip]

Ever since I put 8.1 on my 5, the battery % and drain have been awful. It will go from 70 to 40 in a minute then when I reset it goes back to 70. Standby time is normal but it drains so fast when using. Apple have checked battery and it's fine. I have restored numerous times but still get the issue. Any help would be great. Thanks

Don't restore, try a clean install -

Mine drains fast while using too. Luckily it's covered by the recall. So hopefully they fix it this weekend when I take it in.
