The battery is the only direct source of energy for a smartphone and is the most important part that stabilizes the mobile device.

Replacing the battery in smartphones is a fairly quick job, which is designed to restore the full functionality of a mobile phone. Given the fact that the batteries of modern smartphones are designed for a limited period of performance due to constant use.

Users notice that after a certain time after purchasing a smartphone, the consumption of the charging level decreases faster. It is the condition of the battery and its capacity that determines the duration of the work. To solve this problem, simply replace the battery.

The procedure for replacing an old, worn-out battery with a new one is necessary in such situations:

• Battery swelling.
• Chassis damage from a swollen battery.
• Physical deterioration of the battery.
• The smartphone runs out of power too quickly.
• The phone began to work only from the network.
• The smartphone turns off spontaneously when using various programs, as well as during phone calls.
• Mobile phone performance has slowed down.

Such reasons are associated with a malfunction of the battery or a decrease in its capacity. An accurate verdict can only be provided by an experienced service center specialist after the diagnosis.

There are a number of reasons indicating that it is time to change the battery:

The phone's battery is too hot at minimum and medium loads

If the mobile device starts to get too hot during use, then you should pay attention to this: excessive heating of the battery negatively affects its resource.

Sudden shutdown of the phone

If the battery is worn out or defective, the smartphone may turn off without any known reasons or warnings. If, after turning on the power button, it gives too weak signs of life, turning off again, then this is a clear sign of the unsuitability of the battery, which needs to be replaced.

If this problem occurs, it may not be related to the battery itself. To check all components, it is recommended to contact the service center.

Mobile device won't turn on

If the phone does not turn on for a long time, and charging from the network does not "resurrect" the device, then most likely the reason for this was the problem of the battery itself. To solve such a problem, it is enough to change the battery to a new one and continue using the smartphone.

Battery swelling

In modern smartphones, the battery is not removable, so it is more difficult to understand that it is swollen.

You can understand this reason by some criteria:

• if the back cover of the smartphone has become curved;
• the occurrence of gaps between the phone cover and its frame;
• the appearance of various spots inside the screen (display burn-in);
• short circuit of the mobile board, which the service center master can determine.

Incorrect battery performance

This reason is more common than the previous ones: the battery charges too quickly and also discharges rapidly, which is an abnormal sign. Such signals indicate that the battery will soon stop working completely.

There are two most common reasons that require battery replacement.

Battery wear

Any battery in the process of long-term operation comes to wear, as it is a consumable material. Battery wear can occur at unexpected times over a period of time.

The service life of a battery is determined by its life cycle. This definition should be understood as the ability to charge up to 100% and discharge to 0% according to the technical requirements from the manufacturer.

One cycle is considered a full battery charge at the level of 0-100%, which means that when charging a mobile device, for example, from 20 to 90-95% - the level used is calculated for an amount less than one charge cycle.

The number of such life cycles depends on the intensity of use of the device or the characteristics and quality of the battery itself. On average, this figure can be 400-1000 cycles. If, after a certain time, it became noticeable that the mobile gadget began to work worse, you should think about replacing the battery.

Chemical aging of batteries

Lithium-ion type batteries are subject to this problem, chemical aging affects the decrease in capacity, power, performance, which provides a full-fledged operation of the mobile device.

When choosing a battery for a smartphone, you should pay attention to several main factors that affect the quality of its work and performance.

1. The new battery must match the specifications of the specific smartphone model. There are two types of batteries: lithium ion and lithium polymer. Such batteries are made of modern materials, which makes it possible to recharge at any time.
2. Battery capacity. This criterion is also very important when choosing a battery. The higher the capacity rating, the longer the smartphone will last in action. The capacity must match the original battery.
3. Manufacturer's choice. Given the market value of original batteries, it remains to consider either Chinese unnamed options or licensed batteries that have a quality guarantee confirmed by certificates.
4. Lithium ion or lithium polymer licensed batteries are the most stable models. With maximum operation, their work will be enough for a while - from 10 to 15 hours, which also depends on the quality of the battery and the manufacturer.
5. Charger. This criterion is also very important for the productive operation of the device for a long period of time. A power source suitable for charging a mobile device should distribute power evenly. A new battery should be charged to full 100% for the first time. After that, you need to charge it a couple of times in a discharged state from a minimum. The mains charger must meet the stated requirements.

The most important thing to pay attention to when choosing a battery is its compatibility with a smartphone and compliance with the parameters of the original battery.

The maximum service life of modern batteries for a smartphone is up to 7 years. During this lifetime, the battery can lose up to 50% of its capacity. The average service life is 3-5 years of operation.

For the manufacture of batteries, manufacturers use special-purpose materials, the most common of which are lithium-ion batteries.

This material is sealed and the safest. The average number of charges of such batteries is up to 1000 cycles.

Original and licensed copies - can serve a sufficient period of time, in accordance with norms and modern standards.

But "No-name" batteries - they will not provide such a guarantee. These batteries are of low cost and very poor quality. On them, as a rule, the supplier does not provide a guarantee of safety and service. Nameless Chinese batteries do not work correctly, they may not charge correctly and indicate incorrect charge information.

Manufacturers of modern smartphones no longer use the type of removable batteries in order to create a thinner body. Therefore, self-replacement of the battery creates difficulties at home. If it is necessary to replace the battery, it is recommended to contact the service center, where specialists will perform this work efficiently and quickly.

Batteries for a smartphone may be faulty, and repair is simply impossible (the impossibility of replacing the controller, or the controller itself may make mistakes and overload the battery, which leads to swelling of the battery).

In such situations, the most appropriate and possible solution is to replace the battery.

The cost of the battery may also be cheaper compared to the price and time spent on repairs.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to stop the process of battery wear, but it is quite possible to slow it down.

To do this, you must adhere to the following rules:

1. Be aware of observance of incomplete recharge cycles.
2. Do not charge your mobile device all night.
3. Do not overheat the battery.
4. Do not use your smartphone in frosty conditions and at very low air temperatures.
5. Charge your smartphone with a quality charger.
6. Observe the rules and regulations for the storage of batteries.
7. Turn off power-hungry apps and features when not in use.

For long battery life, you need to follow all of the above rules, as well as consider quality cables and power banks, in addition to good chargers.
