A phone battery weakens over time, and at some point it starts dying before the day is over. If your device shuts down suddenly, heats up while charging, or the battery is swollen, these are signs that the battery needs to be replaced. Here are 5 clear signs, and how to confirm before you decide.
1. Very Short Battery Life
If your device now needs frequent charging despite normal use, the battery has lost its capacity. Check the battery health percentage to confirm this.
2. Sudden Shutdown Despite Remaining Charge
The phone switching off at 20 or 30% is a strong sign of a worn-out battery that can no longer hold a steady voltage.
3. Heating Up While Charging
Excess heat during charging may point to a battery or a charging port that needs to be checked.
4. A Swollen Battery
If the screen or the back cover has lifted slightly, the battery is swollen, and this is a hazard that calls for immediate replacement.
5. Low Health Percentage
| Battery Health | Status |
|---|---|
| Above 85% | Excellent |
| 80 to 85% | Good, keep an eye on it |
| Below 80% | Replacement recommended |
