Help Battery Dying?

So the last few days my Note 4 hasn't even survived a shift at work is highly unusual, yesterday it suddenly switched itself off twice due to battery drain. I've never had that happen. Ever. I've not long since got 5.1.1 so thought maybe the OTA update had done something so went through a factory reset. Today I thought everything was okay until my phone dropped from 30% to 13%. From the time it took me to walk up a flight of stairs it had dropped to 0%. I got my charge plugged in possibly moments before it turned off. So i turned it off and let it charge while off. I noticed the charge jumped from 85% to 100% charged in mere seconds.

Barring 5.1.1 nothing has changed at all. Is it time for a new battery..? It doesn't appear hot or swollen but these sudden changes in battery are very odd.

I've book marked samsung uk and get a new Note 4 battery for £25.

(apologies if parts dont make sense. Migraine is flaring up.)

Hi Phil thanks for the link. That's a much much better price. I'll definitely be picking a new batter and that link saves qquite a bit of money. Thanks.
 
Thanks Evohicks. I have a power bar thats great for top up charges. But i've ordered the new battery. The sudden drop to 0% and switch off is so sudden a new battery is my best option. from 100% to 30% it drains as normal nothing unusual until the last 30% and the drop to 0 is so sudden theres little time to even grab a charger. Hopefully new battery will be with me after work monday latest (fingers crossed the new battery solves the problem.)
