Just bought an OG SE 128gb for 100$. The battery health is 94% and the guy told me it has never been repaired.

The problem I’m facing is that the battery is draining very quickly from 100% to like 80% (I can actually see it drop 1% every couple of seconds).

After 80% it starts to slow down normally.

What could be the cause for this?

    Back when I had the OG SE I had a battery case as it had 82% battery health. Whenever I woke up after it being charged, I would go to my campus gym from my 2 mile runs, listen to music in my wired 3.5 mm headphones, come back to my dorm and it would get down at 22% from 100%, with no charging. I would hit the button to charge it on the case, at it would be absolutely fine the rest of the day. Point is iPhones have weird battery issues often, but I wouldn’t worry about it. Never phased me.

    Also I have a XR now, and there was this one week where the battery was dropping like mad but then it eventually stopped doing that, and now I have a Mophie juice access pack on it just in case (I’m pissed Mophie gave up on those btw because they had the best design for battery cases)
