Do you recommend me to buy a refurbished or a new one?

Hey, i don't have enough money to buy a new iPhone so i want to buy a refurbished one, but i'm afraid that refurbished one doesn't come the battery's maximum capacity (100%), i'm hesitating due to i bought a refurbished iPhone on Amazon (a year ago) and all i got from this was battery capacity of 85% and several months (less than a year) that phone's got some battery problems and died afterwards, i really need your help ansering this, thank you so much.

If you want a refurbished iPhone then buying from Apple directly is your best bet.

All refurbished iPhone from Apple have new battery and tested thoroughly and comes with warranty.

Wait till you can arrange for full money and buy a new iPhone instead of refurbished one.

Yes. Only Apple can guarantee that, not 3rd parties.

So if it comes with new battery and the phone passes through a rigorous process, I assume the battery's condition will be 100%, am I right?
