Droid Turbo (original) Battery Issue

[Android Central Question]

A month or so ago, my Droid Turbo would simply shut down, indicating the battery was dead, though when I restarted it, it would show that the battery was at 57%.

It has now started doing the same thing at various percentages, and today shut down when the battery showed to be at 73%.

I checked the battery usage and the total usage is currently at 14% between all running apps.

I have also tried several suggestions on how to reset/recalibrate the battery to no avail.

I am trying to figure out if it is just a battery issue and I need to have the battery replaced (which no one around me seems to do) or if there is another issue going on?

I realize this phone is 4 years old, but I truly love it, and can't find one I like well enough to replace it, and outside of this battery issue, I have no problems with it.

Any thoughts, hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like dendrites. (See Lithium Battery Dendrite links.) The only thing you can do is replace the battery. Find a really foos repair shop (the phone has to be disassembled with a heat gun).

Thanks Rukbat, but as I said, there is not a repair shop around me that can, or will replace this battery...Not sure I want to tackle that job, but may end up having to...
