I'm at 40% with 2 hours and 30 min of usage and 7 hours of standby. Doesn't seem right. I am in my room which gets me 1 bar or no service usually. However I'm on WiFi all the time. Usually my social media take up only 20%. SnapChat is currently #1 at 21% #2 Facebook at 18% #3 Twitter at 14% and everything else is lower. Should I just get iFixIt's new battery or am I high?

Based on the capacity rating, I'm guessing it's a 4S? You've lost 2% capacity over 292 full charges. Your battery is fine. That usage sounds about right. My wife's 5S has 98% remaining as well and gets like 14 hours standby and 4-5 usage.
 
Yeah, that is a pretty healthy battery given it's nearing 300 charge cycles.
 
Have you checked to see if your iPhone 5 falls under the battery recall Apple has for various iPhone 5 phones?
Absolutely, but this was a refurbished replacement from Apple after my previous phone fell under the defective battery program.
