Fenix 5s battery

I have a fenix 5s and only get like 2 days on the battery. How can I get more? Really don't have many notifications (few phone calls, text and emails) coming in, only do about 30 min to 1 hr workout a day. I just feel I should be getting more.

Could be the not so good 13.x firmware, or the battery is aging after 2 years.
