Is my GS4 active battery a bit broken?

Hello all, I have just switched from Apple to a Samsung and I bought a 'refurbished GS4' off of amazon. The phone is great besides some unnoticeable watermarking at the very top of the screen and the battery life. I charged my phone today and it reached 100% at about 8:30am then I left it like so with the screen off until about 11:30 and it had gone down to 90%. I've also just noticed in general the battery drains fast. Should I buy a new battery or return this phone?

Thanks in advance

Welcome to Android Central. :)

Did you check your battery usage stats after that drop in charge? We'll need to know what is using the battery before we can attempt a diagnosis. Try doing that again, then post a screenshot of the stats.
It would also be useful to see the stats after a day's normal use.

I don't know if you mean for me to find more advanced statistics, but if you did I don't know where to find them sorry about that. 11664802_10204539712361183_1629549099_o.jpg

I have power saving enabled and the phone's brightness slider is about a sixth of the way on the slider, so more closer to not being bright at all.
