So I have an old iPhone 6+ 128 GB which I want to start using again instead of my current iPhone 6s 16Gb due to the bigger screen and bigger memory.
But I noticed that when the phone is used it can suddenly turn off or the battery percentage drops from lets say 80% to 10% in one go. When the phone turns itself off it cant be turned on for a little while, but after waiting a while and turn it on again it shows the high percentage that it was on before it turned itself off.
This does not happen in standby mode, in standby mode it has a pretty normal battery time I think. But it happens mainly when using the phone for power hungry things, like phone calls, GPS guiding or listening to music etc.
So I wanted to ask if this can only be the battery or if the actual phone can have some problems?
Coconut battery software shows 73% battery health and 526 charge cycles. But the thing is that my iPhone 6s has about the same battery health and number of charge cycles and are not acting the way the iPhone 6+ does.
The 6+ also has a broken screen so I dont want to buy a new screen and a new battery unless i´m pretty confident that its the battery thats the problem and that a new battery will solve this problem.
Any thoughts on possible culprits for this problem?
