I've never tried it but I suppose it couldn't hurt. Before I did it I'd let my battery run all the way out and then charge it up from scratch again. I've found that sometimes that helps mine. Also, make sure you don't have a ton of apps running in the background. Did they show you how to do that? I've got a post on here that explains it. Double tap the home button You'll see app icons at the bottom of your screen. These are running in the background. Hold them down until you get the "x" in the corner to shut them down. I've found when I have a bunch open my battery drains quickly. It happens when my kids have been handling my phone. :-) If you have to do a wipe then I'd definitely backup and save your library before you do it though. The good news is with the new purchased feature in the iTunes store you can easily restore apps and iBooks that you've purchased. Yikes! I’ve never tried it but I suppose it couldn’t hurt.
