We rely on our phones all day, but over time, batteries wear out. You might notice your phone feeling slower, dying quicker, or acting strangely. These are often early signs your battery needs a replacement. Let’s look at the warning signs and what you can do.
1. Daily Recharging Grind?
If you're charging your phone multiple times a day, even with light use, it's a clear sign your battery isn’t holding its charge.
2. Performance Slowdown Alert
You'll notice apps lagging, screen responsiveness dropping, or your phone feeling sluggish. This happens when the battery degrades, and your phone limits performance to save power.
3. Overheating Concerns
All phones warm up with heavy use, but if yours gets unusually hot during normal use, charging, or while idle, it could be a battery issue.
4. Random Shutdowns
If your phone powers down at random percentages (like 40% to 0%), the battery may be failing to deliver consistent power.
5. Battery Health Below 80%
For iPhones, check Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging. Anything below 80% means the battery is significantly worn. Androids don’t always show this, but if you see these signs, get it checked.
6. Screen Bulging or Lifting
This is a red flag! A swollen battery can push the screen up. Stop using the device and get it assessed immediately.
