Modern smartphones (even Android smartphones) have very strong batteries that can last for years. But these batteries break down over time, meaning they have a shorter lifespan and work less effectively. To keep your Android device running at its best, you need to know when and how to replace the battery. This guide lists some signs that your battery is running low and also tells you step-by-step how to replace it.
When should you get a new battery in your Android device?
Batteries can only last so long. Here are some signs that it’s time for a new one:
Short battery life: If your phone’s battery is draining quickly, it might be time to get a new one.
Meaningless shutdowns: Even if the battery appears fully charged, a sudden shutdown could be a sign that something is going wrong.
Overheating: If your phone is overheating a lot, especially while charging, the battery could be the cause.
Physical Swelling: A swollen battery is a major problem that should be repaired immediately to avoid damage or potential danger.
Your phone’s battery may be dead because it’s taking longer to charge than before.
