Why does the battery on my S4 Mini drain extremely quickly?

AC Question

Battery on S4 Mini drains extremely quickly

When I first got the phone, it could probably last two or three days on standby mode, and at least six hours when in constant use. After a few months, however, I noticed that it's battery life was noticeably shorter, and some time after that could barely last a night on standby mode, and two or three hours on constant use.
I only turn on data or wifi when I need it, and my brightness is nearly always on the lower end. Location and GPS are also off, as well as Bluetooth, but nothing has changed.

Re: Battery on S4 Mini drains extremely quickly

Battery life will slowly dissipate over time. However, it shouldn't have problems a few months into owning the device. I would suggest a factory reset (backup data and sync accounts first) and see if that helps. Worst case scenario is that you can buy a replacement battery, which doesn't costs very and it's nice to have a backup on hand for those long days.
