battery charging issues

I just got the Samsung Galaxy S2X, I have only had it for 3 days and I am having some major issues with charging my phone. I let it run completely dead and when I plugged it in I thought it would only take about and hour or so to charge. So far the phone has been plugged in for 5 hrs and only has a battery life of 8%. So I have turned off the phone and taken the battery out then plugged it back in and it has not moved from the 8% but the battery icon looks as tho it is charging. Any suggestions besides getting a new battery as I think this one may be faulty?
 
Hello and welcome aboard.

My guess is that the battery is defective. Just go ahead and get it replaced. It's more or less likely that the problem isn't the charger or phone. The best move would be to try a different battery and see what happens.
