"I'm at five percent battery" is the most correct of these two choices. But I wouldn't say either. It's not "I" that am at 5%, but the battery. I know many may complain that I'm too picky, but this qualifies as slang in my view, i.e. improper usage. Some better alternatives in my opinion:
I've only got 5% battery left
My battery is down to 5% / has only 5% left / is only showing 5% etc.

I think honestly both of these sound natural to me. I can't even decide which of these I'd be more likely to say! I think grammatically you could make arguments for either of them being more correct, so my answer is that I think they are both correct.

"On" as a preposition shows physical contact with and supported by something or forming a distinctive part of something.
Ex)
"The book is on the table."
"She has a tattoo on her arm."
Also as an adverb "on" has the same meaning as the first one above.
Physically in contact with and supported by a surface. But it can also show continuation of a movement or action.
Ex)
"Make sure the lid is on the jar."
"The old lady rambled on all night."
So, logically the correct answer would be "at," it is a preposition of place, time, direction, and position. Your phones battery level is positioned "at" 5 percent.
