There are lots of phone repair shops around.  They should be able to do 
something.  Depending on the phone and your skill level, you may be able 
to buy a replacement battery and replace it myself.  I replaced the 
battery in my Google Nexus 5 a few years ago and while it was within my 
technical capabilities, it was far beyond what most people could do.

If you mention the phone model, you could probably get better advise.  
For example, replacing the battery on many Samsung models is trivail.
