battery

When I talk on the phone and say "My battery is about to die", I actually mean the cell phone's battery is currently low on power (I believe it is also called 'run out of juice'). My question is what should I say if I see the signs that the battery is about to die literally, for instance, after charging for a whole day it still can't last for 5 minutes?

thanks!

My battery needs to be replaced - it won't hold a charge.

I need a new battery - this one is truly dead.

(Although I rather like the idea of it going to its great reward... the giant battery factory in the sky...)
