I replaced my iPhone 5 battery, and the replacement went fine (hard to get the thing opened, but worked eventually), but the battery performance is still poor. I've gone through a ton of troubleshooting (including Apple's online diag tool, which tests the battery and then suggests I send in the phone for repair). I think the battery is defective. Has this happened to anyone else?
Questa è una buona domanda?

I've had batteries that are defective, it's not uncommon. I'd try another battery if you have one and see if it solves the issue

Will ifixit provide me a new battery, since I bought it through them?
Contact iFixit support with your question and mention your order number.
But note two things:
- Battery performance varies A LOT depending on usage, network coverage, Wi-Fi strength, etc.
- A component on the logic board of the iPhone 5 tends to breakdown and disrupt the power management of phone. Among others, it causes batteries to drain quickly, sometimes as fast as 1~2% per minute. Other times, phones with this problem cannot restart once the battery has drained and the phone shut down.
Hm. Thanks. I was wondering if there might be a hardware problem. And -- when my cell radio is on -- I am seeing fast drain, even with everything off (LTE, push mail, background app refresh, *all* visible apps killed, etc.) of 1-2% every several minutes, at least. Turn off cell radio, and battery is much better, even with using apps and wifi.
