Same-day job on most phones

Dies by lunchtime.Shuts off atthirty per cent.

Batteries wear out. After two or three years most phones need a new one, and it is the single cheapest way to make an old phone feel new again. It is a same-day job on almost everything we see.

What is actually going on

It is just old

Every lithium battery loses capacity with every charge cycle. Below about eighty per cent health you feel it. Below seventy it gets annoying. It is chemistry, not a fault.

Random shutdowns with charge left

The battery still reads thirty per cent but cannot deliver enough current under load, so the phone protects itself and shuts off. Classic worn battery. A new one fixes it outright.

The screen is lifting or the back is bulging

That is a swollen battery. Stop using it, do not charge it, bring it in today. It is a safety issue, not a wait-and-see.

What we do

  1. Check it is the battery

    Sometimes the symptom is the battery and the cause is the charge port or the charging circuit. We check before we quote so you are not paying for the wrong repair.

  2. Fit the new battery

    Old one out safely, new one in, adhesive replaced. On phones that track battery health we calibrate it so the readout is honest.

  3. Charge cycle test, then it is yours

    We confirm it charges and holds before it leaves the bench. Twelve month warranty on the battery and the work.

Before you come in

  1. If it is swollen, treat it as urgentDo not charge it. Do not press on it. Do not leave it in a hot car. Bring it in the same day.
  2. Check the health numberOn iPhone: Settings, Battery, Battery Health. On most Androids it is under Battery in Settings. Tell us the number if you have it.
  3. Bring the passcodeWe test the phone after the swap. Be ready to unlock it.

From people who had this exact problem

Had my battery replaced on my iPhone, however overnight I noticed my screen was going a bit funny. My screen wasn’t in the best condition anyway, but they were happy to replace it as it was a new issue when I brought it back in the next day.
Angela WatkinsGoogle review
Staff were great, happy to supply battery and repair with honesty and compassion for the product and customer care. I will return with any other future repairs.

Questions we get about this one

How do I know it is the battery and not the phone?
A health reading under eighty per cent, shutdowns with charge showing, or a phone that gets hot for no reason all point to the battery. If it is something else we will tell you at the bench.
Will I lose anything?
No. A battery replacement does not touch your data. Back up anyway, because you should always back up.
How long will the new battery last?
Two to three years of normal use is typical. Keeping it between twenty and eighty per cent most of the time helps.
What does the warranty cover?
The battery and our work for twelve months. If it fails or drops health abnormally fast in that time, we replace it.
