Battery replacement in Farringdon — phones, tablets and laptops re-powered on Long Lane, EC1
Battery replacement Farringdon workers can fit into a lunch hour
When your phone won’t survive until the evening commute, or your laptop only works tethered to a desk socket, the device usually isn’t finished — its battery is. A new cell costs a fraction of a replacement device and can give it years more use. Pocket Geek Farringdon by CrC Repair® handles battery replacement in Farringdon at 77 Long Lane, EC1, a few minutes from Barbican station.
Before selling you anything, we check the battery’s condition, so you’ll know whether it really is the culprit. Then we fit the correct cell for whatever you’ve brought — a phone, a tablet, a laptop or MacBook, a games handheld or, in many cases, a smartwatch. A phone battery is often swapped in under an hour.
Each new battery is covered by a one-year warranty. Pop in on any weekday, or book your battery replacement online.

Devices we fit new batteries to in Farringdon
Almost anything with a rechargeable cell that you carry to work:
Phone battery replacement Farringdon
iPhones and Galaxy phones make up most of this work, with Pixel, Motorola, OnePlus and Oppo handsets close behind. Cells for this year’s handsets and those several years old are kept in stock, and a typical swap is done inside the hour. Other phone faults are on phone repair Farringdon.
iPad and tablet batteries
Apple iPads, Lenovo and Amazon Fire tablets and the Galaxy Tab range, to name a few. If yours no longer lasts a train journey or an evening on the sofa, a fresh cell normally sorts it. See iPad repair Farringdon too.
Laptop battery replacement Farringdon
Office notebooks from Dell, Lenovo, HP, Acer and Asus, and gaming laptops such as Alienware, ROG, Razer, Legion and MSI. Work from a café or a meeting room again without hunting for a plug. More at laptop repair in Farringdon.
MacBook batteries
Air or Pro, Apple silicon or older Intel. On M-series Macs the cells are secured more firmly than before, so the right technique makes all the difference. Details at MacBook repair Farringdon.
Handheld consoles
A Switch that dies halfway through a commute, a Steam Deck or ROG Ally that needs the charger after an hour, or an old PS Vita — a new battery makes it portable again.
Watches and fitness bands
Cells in a Garmin, Fitbit, Galaxy Watch or Apple Watch are small, but many can still be changed. We’ll be straight with you about whether yours can.
Signs your battery needs replacing
These point to a tired battery rather than a faulty device:
Running out hours early
Same apps, same routine — yet the charge that used to reach the evening now runs out mid-afternoon.
Sudden drops or shutdowns
The percentage falls from 30% to single figures in minutes, or the device switches off while still showing charge, especially on a cold morning.
Battery health below 80%
On an iPhone, Settings reports maximum capacity. Once it drops below 80%, the lost capacity shows up in everyday use.
Heat with little use
If the handset warms up while you’re just reading email, an ageing cell may be to blame.
Only works plugged in
If it dies the moment the cable comes out, the battery can no longer hold a charge.
Bulging case or lifting screen
A screen or back panel being pushed away from the frame usually means the battery has swollen. Unplug it and get it to us promptly.
Unsure? Bring it to Long Lane — we test first and only recommend a new battery if the result justifies it.
iPhone and Samsung battery replacement in Farringdon
iPhone: your choice of battery. A premium cell brings back full capacity for less. From the 12 series onwards, the battery menu will then say the cell can’t be confirmed as Apple-made — a note that changes nothing about performance or safety. Prefer no message and fully intact battery health reporting? Pick a Genuine Apple Service Pack battery. We’ll quote both; our iPhone repair Farringdon page explains more.
Samsung: genuine batteries, nothing else. Any Samsung device we work on gets a genuine Samsung battery, matched to its capacity and voltage, so adaptive fast charging and the health readout behave as designed and the phone stays within its safety limits. Third-party Samsung batteries never go into a device here. More on Samsung repair Farringdon.
Battery replacement prices in Farringdon
The price depends on the type of device, the exact model and, on newer iPhones, which battery you choose. You’ll know the full amount before we begin, with nothing extra added at collection.

Lithium cells need careful hands
Changing a battery can look like a two-minute job, yet it carries more risk than most repairs. Pull the adhesive strips at the wrong angle and nearby components can tear; leave the connector poorly seated and charge readings become unreliable; pierce a lithium cell while levering it out and it can catch fire.
So at Pocket Geek Farringdon by CrC Repair®, batteries are only changed by staff trained on your particular model and on handling lithium safely, and the old cell is always recycled properly rather than binned. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.
Our high-quality repairs page describes the process, and the national battery replacement page covers the service at every branch.
