Help Battery or software defunk?

My S3 mini GT-I8190 has a problem. I bought it around april 2013 and about a month to 6 weeks later I got an update which I installed. A few weeks later the phone started to reboot on it's own randomly and every so often it just turns itself completely off without a re-start. I had it checked by my provider for software malfunctions but they couldn't find any and there are no viruses that cause this problem.

I started to check my battery history graph after the reboots and every time I see a downwards spike after a reboot from a nice slight declining line to a cliff drop, so to speak. I even had one covering almost a 20% power decrease!

I start to get the feeling that my battery is at fault here but if anyone has a theory I'd really like to see them before I buy a new battery. It still could be a software or firmware problem....
