[QUOTE="badshoehabit, post: 1757208, member: 210116"] I was in Denmark for a few days' holiday and used my cousin's charger (one of those multi-cable USB chargers) to recharge both my iPhone and iPad. The USB was then plugged into a UK-European adapter. Voltage in UK and Denmark are the same at 230 volts. The phone behaved normally for heavy usage (maps and photos) for three days then, on the next, shut off when the battery charge was down to about 30%. It would switch back on again with a soft restart, then switch off again. It behaved the same way the following two days and even the day after I charged it at home with the original Apple cable. It's now been charged three times with the Apple cable and seems to be behaving normally. I downloaded the 'Battery Life' app which showed its capacity as 84% which seems reasonable for a phone bought new about two years ago and charged daily. Can anyone advise, please - is the battery going kaput or was the cable the problem? [/QUOTE]
