is the battery okay ? should i replace it ? or the problem for fast drainage is the motherboard itself ?
 
i bought it and i don't know what's wrong with it really ..... im thinking of replacing the battery but what if it's a motherboard problem and not a battery problem ?
 
Is it getting hot while using it?

Or even in standby?

What is your problem exactly?
 
Try to restore the firmware and set it up as new without restoring a backup.

That shoud help.
 
Your battery is like new so no need for a new one. We need to know the history of this phone. Could be the previous owner had the battery replaced when they found a problem with the phone that you have inherited. Finding a 5 with so few battery cycles is rare unless it has been changed or new.
 
Do a DFU restore via iTunes, and after you reload your backup and data, restore your settings, network and privacy. With this method you'll earn a lot of free space and battery life will improve.
