"It's possible that your battery is in poor health but because this is a beta version, it's also possible that there is an error in the diagnostic.

I can't speak for iOS 11.3 Beta but one thing you can do is to use a battery utility, such as coconutBattery (for Mac) or 3uTools (for Windows). It will tell you what the health of the battery is. Anything less than 70% of design capacity will require replacement."

"I have had the same experience after installing iOS 11.3 on two iPhone 6 in my household.

Both have iFixit replacement batteries which I installed a month or two ago. 3uTools shows the battery of my phone as 98%, I did not check the other.

I am assuming that the beta version of Battery Health shows non-Apple sourced batteries as ""Service"". Will have to see if this changes in a future version...."

"Mine - from authorized Apple Service also show “Service”.

And it only shows “maximum capacity”, but no % (I.e 100%).

I’ll call them tommow just to make sure if it’s just beta being beta, or my battery is not genuine after all..."

Just replaced an iPhone 6 battery with a new iFixit and my customer is having same issue, of course my full assumption is that Apple has plans for detecting non-Apple hardware in their devices (just like the home buttons) so you MUST purchase their cost controlled (i.e. oligarchy - but not necessarily superior) hardware (of course I will note that my iPhone 6 with an iFixit battery from several months ago is perfectly fine).
