Do you think this needs a new battery or is it being drained by something. What could complety drain it in 5 mins?

If your alternator is bad, there are lots of things that could, the power steering, your radio, your radiator fan, dash lights. If your battery is getting drained in 5 mins and your battery is not that old. It's definitely your alternator that's not charging the battery
