Why does my phone "die" at random times even on 100 percent

My iphone 5s doesn't have any hardware issues but for some reason my phone shutdowns out of nowhere on any percent and gives me the (dead plug in phone) indication

Answered! View the answer I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Have you attempted to replace the battery? Most likely it will need to be replaced.

It could, but really rare, be the battery is not communicating to the board properly. This will require performing a DFU and charging the phone to 100% after completion. However, that just depends on the age of the battery. If it's old, just do a replacement.

Honestly I think only a restore is required instead of DFU as that can fix battery percentage reading issues.

Op: Make sure to backup your iPhone to iTunes first before restoring it of course.

You are correct, a back up and restore should happen first before running the DFU. Sorry for skipping a step.

i had this problem with my i phone 6splus, and i got the battery replaced twice but then came to find out it was a software problem so you’ll have to get a new phone :/ don’t waste your money on the battery if it’s really consistent
