I replaced the battery in my phone because it drained fast, and drained completely in any temp below 50, I put the new battery In but when I try to turn it on the farthest I get is the screen that says "Samsung galaxy s5" help?

Do I also need to remove the sim card? Or can I just put a new battery in?
