Hello,
I recently installed the new iFixIt battery I ordered. After installation, I wiped the phone and restored from backup. Drained the battery to 0% and did a full charge and reset (home button & sleep button). Now when the battery gets to 36%, it drops to 17%. This has happened twice now in 1 week.
What would cause this?
Is this a good question?

Sounds to me that there is some sort of battery issue. I doubt they would send you a defective battery so it could be something with your phone.

I do not think it's a phone issue as this was not happening prior to replacing the battery.

You can definitely get bad batteries from time to time. I'd get a replacement and try that first.

Well this was supposedly a brand new battery according to iFixit.
Right, but bad parts are still part of the repair industry. It's just like any other electronic. I get bad screens and batteries from time to time from the best suppliers in the country, so it's bound to happen.
Same has happened to me. I purchased a hard drive brand new, unopened, and when I unpackaged it, and fired it up, it spun up, worked for like 5 minutes then it was doing click of death, and never worked again.
