This test is very helpful when you are having problems in general with your iPhone's battery.

1. Step 1 Get coconutBattery
  Head on over to the coconutBattery website and grab a copy of coconutBattery.
  
  I used coconutBattery 3.7 for this tutorial, and if the UI ever changes in the future I will promptly update this guide as needed.
  
  Hit that download button. It should be downloading into wherever you set your downloads to download to.

2. Step 2 Opening coconutBattery
  Lucky us! coconutBattery is already ready to run after being downloaded.
  
  Double click on the coconutBattery application.
  
  The location of where you have saved the coconutBattery application may vary. For me, I saved it to my Downloads folder.

  If you are unsure how to upload your screenshot to your existing question, you can use guide Adding Images to an Existing Question.
  
  I was using my iPad for this guide because I left my iPhone at home. The steps should be no different with using an iPhone.
