Your smartphone is your lifeline—whether you’re answering work calls, texting loved ones, or scrolling social media. But even the most powerful phone is only as reliable as its battery. Over time, batteries degrade and can cause performance issues. At Screen Fix Plus, we want you to recognize the signs early so you’re never left without power when you need it most.
Here are the top signs your phone battery may need replacing:
🔋 1. Your Battery Drains Quickly
If your phone can’t make it through the day—or even a few hours—without needing a recharge, your battery may be nearing the end of its lifespan. This is especially true if your usage habits haven’t changed but your battery performance has.
📉 2. Unexpected Shutdowns
Does your phone shut off even when the battery still shows 20–30% charge? Sudden shutdowns are a clear indicator that your battery is no longer holding charge accurately and may need to be replaced.
🧊 3. Your Phone Feels Hot Often
A failing battery may overheat during regular use or charging. While some heat is normal during heavy tasks, consistent overheating could mean the battery is struggling—and that can become dangerous if left unchecked.
🐢 4. Laggy Performance
Modern smartphones optimize performance based on battery health. If your device has suddenly slowed down—especially after an update—it might be throttling performance due to battery issues.
🪫 5. Battery Swelling or Screen Lifting
This is a critical warning sign. A swollen battery can put pressure on your phone’s components, even lifting the screen or cracking the case. If you notice any bulging, stop using your phone and bring it in immediately—it’s a potential safety hazard.
⚙️ 6. Battery Health Below 80% (iPhone users)
For iPhone users, head to:
Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging
If your Maximum Capacity is below 80%, Apple recommends a battery replacement for optimal performance.
