Phone shuts off with lot of battery left

[audiokeeffe]

My 4s sometimes shuts itself off, without the battery being low. It usually happens when I'm taking a short video or photos. The phone shuts off and the charge battery sign appears, but after a minute or two, I can turn the phone back on and it says 20% or even higher sometimes.....It makes no sense. Today when I was taking a video, it said 1% left, so I quickly connected the charger before it shut off, and it automatically changed to 63% !!!! What's going on with it?

What's going on with it?

Battery is failing. Replace it.

Calibrate it once or twice before you do anything else

At end of a battery's life, the meter is useless.

Symptoms of a failing battery: Dies all of a sudden, very quick to charge to 100%

Did you recently upgrade to ios7?

I don't think that is it. Mine is a brand new phone and does it at 13% and jumps around quite a bit. I also have the 5 and it did it since the update...
