You said below you have portable chargers. That may be the best solution.

Sell on ebay. Buy brand new oneplus and enjoy 7+ hrs screen time battery life.

It shouldn't be that bad 5 months into it. Take it to apple and get a new one.

12/18/14 11:46am

The iphone 5 battery wasn't great. My iphone 6 battery is tremendous.

Take it to Apple. If it's not under warranty, they install a new one for $80
