Hello,

Hmm, it seems a little low, but not too serious. They normally recommend a new battery when it drops below 80%. See this:

If your battery drain seems high, Go to Setting > Battery > BATTERY USAGE BY APP to see the apps that are consuming your battery.

A new battery should not cause any other issues:

Good luck.

Battery capacity is not measured in months, it is almost totally based on usage, and specifically on full charge cycles. The phone is rated to remain above 80% for 500 full charge cycles. That works out to a drop of 1% for every 25 cycles on average. So a drop of 13% implies that you have done 325 full charge cycles on the phone since you got it. If you have a Mac the free Mac app Coconut Battery can tell you how many full charge cycles you have used.
