battery issues

[Android Question]

Hi,
I have a samsung galaxy s3 and for the past few days i have had an issue with the battery life.
Last night i put my phone on charge it was at 10% after 8hrs plus of being on charge it only reached
45%, The battery is then draining very fast throughout the day within an hour the battery is just about flat.
I have only had this phone for a few months and i dont play games or anything on it, so its not getting constantly used.

Please help.

Hello and welcome to Android Forums.



1. Did your phone get wet? If do you may have a short.

2. Do you have constant applications running? Processor use will warm your phone (and drain your battery). Go Settings > Battery Try to diagnose of some applications are constant.

3. Is your battery bad? Spin your battery while flat , if it spins easily (looking for a bubble) it is bad.
