http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html covers the firmware and other ideas. It also reveals the number of charge cycles and what to expect for life span.

Hope it's in warranty.

Compare the cost of OOWS vs battery repair

I believe Apple still charges a flat $199 for OOWS (out of warranty service) replacement of your 4S iPhone. Just compare that cost vs the cost of repairing a battery.

Personally, I would go for the Apple handset replacement (even if getting a battery fix costs $100) since their refurbs are much better IME than the typical refurb from other manufacturers.

4s wont charge

First make sure you are using a real apple charger. if your phone is older over a year the battery may be drying up and thus not holding a charge. Sadly the iPhone battery isn't "user replaceable" so Apple will just make you get a new phone, or give you a new phone if you are still under warranty. If I leave my cell data on my phone will only last about 5-6 hours before its dead as a brick
