Refurbished battery life (alien.top)

Purchased a refurbished 2016 SE, in settings battery health is 100% but whenever I download anything like apps or podcasts the battery drains really fast, like 4-5% per app download. Is this normal? Or should I return the device?

Back then when the batteries were designed for the SE (or even the 5S ten years ago, since OGSE has its hardware), apps and even iOS was not as much energy consuming as today. Like imagine it in reverse, today’s iPhones would survive like 2-3 days easily with basic usage, if we could use them in 2013. You know what I mean. I guess its totally normal, especially with refurbished phones.
