[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1950784, member: 190607"] I just want to point out that it isn't at all surprising that the battery in that phone needs to be replaced. Lithium batteries very much prefer their charge to be held between 30% and 80% at all times. The more time that a lithium battery spends outside this range, the more dendrites form on the internal terminals of the battery, until eventually the battery is ruined. Lithium batteries also like to be used, rather than sitting in storage or on a charger. If they sit too long, you have the same problem. Youir iPhone 12 is four to five years old. If it sat all that time with little to no charge, that's easily the reason that the phone's battery is ruined. Any reported battery life below 80% generally (and non-intuitively) means that a lithium battery is done. I don't know what country you are in. Here in the U.S. Apple will want about $80 to replace that battery. However, I've found that many large indoor malls have kiosks that will replace your iPhone's battery,. The one in my local mall has done it for me for only $35. And he does it while I watch. It only takes him less than 10 minutes. (Obviously he's done it countless times.) [/QUOTE]
