## Answers

### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- This is considered typical if your **[battery](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/50949/how-to-preserve-apple-iphone-6s-plus-battery-life-with-low-power-saving-mode) drains** at a rate of 5-10% each hour. It is highly dependent on usage, however a healthy battery should not lose more than 15% (20% MAX) of its charge in an hour.
- If you seem to be wasting 30% or more in a single hour, regardless of what you do, your battery is on the edge of needing to be changed, if it isn't already. It's considered typical to have a percentage of less than 1%.
- A percentage of 2 percent or more is a bit high, but it just signifies that an app is running in the background, which could be for a good cause.
- Don't worry about it; you may charge it whenever you want.
- Battery drain is affected by a variety of factors and varies by device. However, anywhere from 0.5 percent to 1 percent each hour is considered normal.
