I guess just check to see if any certain apps are draining too much battery and if not it might be time to replace the battery (you should be able to get one on Amazon (make sure you look for one with good reviews and I would probably give Ebay a miss as you cannot find reviews for individual items)).

I've had a quick look and one with some better reviews is here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Darktop%C2%A...+battery&psc=1

Also a Youtube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOOZZeTTR1o (you might be able to get one from them, but make sure it's for the 5S and not the 5 or 5C as they are different.

The video recons that they should last around 18 months.

One tip is after a major iOS upgrade (e.g. version 8 to version 9) it is worth charging the battery to 100% and letting it run down to 0% until it turns itself off, then charging back to 100%. This seems to recalibrate the battery meter.
