One thing I dont understand with my 6s plus battery is sometimes, coconutbattery tell me that my health battery is at 75% when fully charged, and sometimes it shows 84% when fully charged.

What is that mean? Problem with battery? phone itself? I can't go to an Apple store until mid-september (not anough time) so just trying to figure it out.

The hotter your battery the lower the capacity.so If your phone was blazing hot it could show a lower amount.

Is this a phone? If so that's time for a replacement

It’s an iPhone 6s yes - chat with Apple said the battery was healthy - the genius shared instructions to reset as new etc... which I did but haven’t seen any improvement - I will run iOS 11 for a few days and open another chat... thanks for the feedback

If you see abnormal battery drain, than go ahead and replace the battery. Otherwise don't worry it about it.
 
Battery life on the 6s is just not good at all. I just bought a Samsung 6s switching from a tsmc iPhone se that had a brand new battery installed and it's still really bad coming from my se. It was straight from apple because of the 6s battery issue. I'm looking forward to getting a Iphone 8 or maybe X if I can afford one.
 
Ok I went to the Apple store last week, they said my battery health is at 87%, but my battery still drain very quickly after a DFU restore and set it as new. Coconut battery shows many variation of my battery health between 75%-86%, but more often they show around 75-80% battery health.

I really dont know what to do know. Is program like coconutBattery really reliable?
 
I'm getting a 75% from CoconutBattery on my September 2015 6s Plus. Other times it may be 82%.

Apple tested it via their diagnostics and said the battery was reading "Healthy", and wouldn't offer a replacement while I was still in AppleCare warranty.

Honestly I don't know what to think, other than perhaps Apple is trying to weasel out of giving me a battery replacement.

Just go to the mall and have one of the screen fixing kiosk guys replace it for you. At the place by me they sell batteries right outside the apply store. I had my 6 battery replaced for $35 and it took 15 minutes compared to the days of waiting for apple to "diagnose" the issue and me paying more than double the price
 
went the route of iFitix and did it myself. have the iP6 and not the 6s. coconut battery showed north of 800 cycles and i think roughly a 10-20% battery life. the thing wouldn't last 30 minutes off the charger and the phone was very slow. I felt like 10.3.1/2 made it a ton worse. then iOS 11 didn't help. could not survive so had to use a Mophie battery case to at least get through the work day. ended up buying the iFixit battery last week and installed in Tuesday. should have done it a lot sooner and was crazy easy to swap out. I was trying to wait until the iPhone X was released but couldn't wait any longer. no need for a battery case now and can now last all day with heavy use. feels like a new phone too. works smooth and fast.

any novice can swap out the battery.
 
I can't replace the battery myself so that's why I want another solution. I just want to understand why the coconut results are night and day with the Apple results.
 
The iFixIt battery kit is easy if you're handy. The 6s is like 4 screws to swap the battery if you keep the display connected.
 
Hi All,

Have a battery drain issue with my 6s as well on IOS 11.0.3. Had apple support run diagnostics. This is what they have shared.

- No hardware issues with battery
- Cycle Count is 808 with 81.83% health
- Manufacture date - October 2015

I've owned it since November 2015 (so almost 2 years now). I dont know if 808 cycle count is good or bad. Do you guys suggest I have the battery replaced?

Thanks.
 
Yes replace battery do a clean install I did same thing last month my 6s+ runs great now. Will wait 10 moths now to upgrade and see if a X+ comes out.
