Newly bought OG SE has weird battery issue (alien.top)

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?

What iOS version are you running? Mine came with 16.6 and my battery would just drop all day/night with no use. I saw others mentioning that iOS 17.1 corrected their battery drain issues, so I downloaded the stock 17.1 image and installed that through finder — now my battery life is FAR better. It's night and day.

On an OGSE? Didn’t think it went beyond iOS 15?

It doesn't. People still buy outdated devices lol, like me and my apple watch series 3
