Iphone 4 A1332 Will not charge and shows full charge

Hi everyone, i have a Iphone 4 A1332 Will not charge and shows full charge. I tried resetting it with itunes about 10 times, tried power botton and middle botton restart and yet no signs of charge, if i unpluge it it turns off. Yet when i use it plugged, it shows the icon of full charge on the battery icon, but i selected the option to show the % of battery and it says 3%, this morning i was resetting it again and i fell asleep, when i woke up, i didnt start the reset, yet i found that the phone now has 8% charge on it. witch it drained off now, and its at 3% again.. HELP!?

iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.3

Could be faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

Try battery replacement first, it is a $5 part in the US.

The iPhone battery has circuit board, the iPhone charging port with flex cable has circuitry, the Logic Board has power management chip. Replace those in order, hoping for fix.
