A weak battery changes how you use a phone. You start carrying a charger, lowering brightness, closing apps, and worrying whether the device will last through a meeting or drive across San Antonio. Battery wear is normal, but sudden changes deserve attention.
Seven warning signs
Watch for rapid percentage drops, unexpected shutdowns, excessive heat during ordinary use, slow charging, swelling, a phone that works only while connected, or a battery-health warning. A swollen battery can lift the display or back panel; stop using and charging the device if the enclosure changes shape.
Repair or replace the phone?
Battery service often makes sense when the screen, cameras, storage, and software still meet your needs. A diagnostic can separate battery wear from charging-port, board, software, or power-management faults before parts are ordered.
Prepare for service
Back up important data, remove sensitive accessories, note recent symptoms, and bring the charger if the problem happens only with a particular cable. Ask about part availability and turnaround for your exact model.

No. Timing depends on diagnosis, parts, damage, and workload. Contact the shop with the exact model and symptoms for current availability.
