Not consistent

My Galaxy SIII is driving me crazy with the battery drain and the re-charge times. I have looked at every suggestion on all the forums on the internet and tried all the ideas. Some say drain it right down and then recharge it switched off. Others say take the battery out to reset it. Other ideas are completely mad. One day I will do one thing and it behaves the next day there are no changes in my SOP and it will behave completely differently. Yesterday it took 8 hours to charge to 75% from 4% switched off. Today it took 4 hrs from 15% to 100% switched on.

Any views on this: The best ways to stop your smartphone battery running out? AVOID fully charging it, don't let it drop below 50% and keep it out of the sun | Mail Online

Incidentally I looked for the software recommended in the article for battery management but it said that it was not compatible to my system!
