I bet my wife's is one of the serial numbers affected. I've always had up to 12 hours before in plug it in over night. We bought our iphones a few months apart. She is constantly plugging hers in during the day in her car or office as hers always drained down a lot faster than mine does. Check the link in the article and enter your serial number to see if you qualify for a free battery replacement. http://nypost.com/2014/08/26/apple-to-replace-defective-iphone-5-batteries-for-free/

Thanks for posting, Expidia. My iPhone is one of those covered by the recall. Now I just need to figure how to get it to Apple. No authorized repair places are very close to me...

Thanks!

I just replace my iphone battery myself. Its very easy. You can get the kits on ebay for less than $10 if you aren't part of the recall.
