Is your battery wearing out?
If one of these sounds familiar, a quick test is worthwhile:
Draining far too fast
Normal use now empties it by lunchtime, or the percentage plummets without warning.
Switching off early
It cuts out with a fifth of its charge left — often on a cold, windy walk along the seafront.
Low battery health
iPhone Settings shows maximum capacity below 80%, or the phone has started throttling.
Swelling or heat
A lifted screen or back panel, or warmth during light use. Stop charging and bring it in — that’s a safety issue.
Devices we fit new batteries to in Bournemouth
Anything with a rechargeable cell you rely on:
Smartphones
Apple and Galaxy handsets most of all, plus Pixel, Motorola, OnePlus, Oppo, Honor, Nokia and Huawei — new flagship or trusty older model. More on phone repair Bournemouth.
Tablets
Every iPad generation, plus Amazon Fire, Lenovo Tab, Galaxy Tab, MatePad and other Android slates. See iPad repair Bournemouth.
Laptops
Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, Acer and more — swollen, not charging or only running on mains. Details on laptop repair Bournemouth.
MacBooks
Integrated batteries on MacBook Air and MacBook Pro need careful removal; our team does it routinely. Also see MacBook repair Bournemouth.
Handheld consoles
Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck and PlayStation Portable batteries renewed, so you can play away from the socket again.
Smartwatches and trackers
Small cells, but replaceable — Garmin, Fitbit, Galaxy Watch and Apple Watch included.
iPhone and Samsung batteries: what to know
iPhone. Our premium batteries restore full capacity and charging and represent excellent value. On the iPhone 12 onwards, though, Apple’s parts pairing means a non-Apple cell can show “Unable to verify this iPhone has a genuine Apple battery” and battery health may stop reporting. If you want iOS to verify the battery, choose a Genuine Apple Service Pack battery — the same part Apple uses. More on genuine Apple parts.
Samsung. We only fit genuine Samsung batteries in Samsung phones and tablets. They carry the correct capacity, voltage and safety tolerances, and Samsung’s adaptive charging and battery health monitoring keep working as intended.
Battery replacement prices in Bournemouth
The price depends on the device, the model and — for iPhone — whether you choose premium or Genuine Apple. A phone cell is usually quick; a MacBook with a glued-in battery is a bigger job.
You’ll get a clear quote before anything is opened, with no hidden fees. Check a guide price on our booking page or bring it in for a diagnostic.
Lithium cells handled safely — not a pop-up job
Done badly, a battery swap can leave you with a cell that drains unpredictably, a torn cable from rough disassembly, or a punctured lithium pack — which is genuinely dangerous. We use the right tools, the right parts and the right procedure every time.
Our shop is part of CrC Repair®, established in 2004 with ten branches across the UK. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.
After fitting, we check charging, capacity and temperature before handing the device back. See high-quality repairs, or read how every CrC branch approaches battery replacement.
