are you sure you need a new battery? See this excerpt from the "Your battery's maximum capacity" section of the support article: iPhone Battery and Performance - Apple Support
"A normal battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 500 complete charge cycles when operating under normal conditions. The one-year warranty includes service coverage for a defective battery. If it is out of warranty, Apple offers battery service for a charge."
In other words, if it is below 80% maximum capacity, it is below normal performance. However, per the article, Apple would only consider it unusual (and warrantable) if that drop to 80% happened in less than a year after you receive it. Ergo, storage loss as you use it is expected and acceptable within the parameters presented in the support article. Incidentally, that 20% drop/year equates to almost a 2% drop per month so 1-2% per month is not unusual. You can still use a device with a lower percentage than 80% but for optimal usage you may wish to consider having it changed when it reaches 80%.
