Having some charging issues

So, my phone has been a-ok for the last half a year. Then something weird started happening. When I plug it in, it displays the charging symbol and all is well until t gets to 5%. This is when things start to get strange. It shows a question mark. If I hold down the power button the phone turns on and I get about 5 minutes of use out of my phone. But unlike when it's turned off, it won't charge to save it's life.

I'm not really much of a tech kind of dude. How do I bring this poor thing back to life?
