[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1820517, member: 56379"] Maybe your wife needs to drive faster!;) But seriously...the best way to get a good idea of what sort of shape your iPhone battery is in is to know the battery cycle count. The battery cycle count is the number of full charges that the battery has been thru since new. With iPhones...the battery is supposed to retain 80% of its original capacity after 500 charge cycles. This doesn't mean that at 500 charge cycles the battery needs to be replaced ASAP...but after 500 battery charge cycles I think the battery capacity decreases at a non-linear or less predictable rate. Determining the battery cycle count on iOS devices is not quite as easy as it is with Apple portable computers...but it's still not super difficult.:) To determine the battery cycle count on an iOS device...you need to use the free app called Coconut Battery...connect your iOS device to an Apple computer...then click on the iOS device icon...then check the "Cycle Count": [ATTACH=FULL]29841[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=FULL]29842[/ATTACH] HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
