What we replace batteries in around Norwich

Anything with a rechargeable cell that you rely on daily:

Phone battery replacement Norwich

iPhone and Galaxy batteries make up most of our work, alongside Pixel, Motorola, OnePlus and Xiaomi. We keep cells for current phones and older ones, and the job is usually finished in under an hour. Other phone faults: phone repair Norwich.

iPads and tablets

An iPad, Galaxy Tab, Lenovo or Fire tablet that now dies halfway through a show normally just needs a new battery. See tablet repair Norwich.

Laptop battery replacement Norwich

HP, Dell, Lenovo, Acer, Asus and gaming laptops that can’t leave the socket for long. Get your unplugged hours back. More on laptop repair Norwich.

MacBook Air and Pro

Intel and Apple silicon models alike. Newer packs are firmly bonded in place, so removal takes the right tools and patience. Read MacBook repair Norwich or our national MacBook repair page.

Handheld consoles

Switch, Steam Deck and ROG Ally batteries replaced, so a session doesn’t end with a flat screen.

Watches and trackers

Many smartwatches can be given a new cell. We’ll look at yours and tell you honestly if it’s worth doing.

Warning signs of a worn-out battery

Spot any of these and a test is worth doing:

Draining by lunchtime

Nothing has changed in how you use it, yet the percentage falls far faster than it once did.

Sudden shutdowns

The device dies at 20% or 30%, especially on a cold day or when the camera opens.

Low maximum capacity

An iPhone reading under 80% in Battery Health is a clear sign the cell has aged.

Heat during easy tasks

Getting hot while you browse or message can mean the battery is struggling.

Tethered to the charger

If unplugging it means it switches off, the battery can’t store energy any more.

A bulge or a gap

A lifting screen, a warped back or a laptop that rocks on the desk can all mean a swollen cell. Stop charging it.

iPhone and Samsung battery choices

iPhone. You can pick a premium battery, which brings capacity back to as-new for less, or a Genuine Apple Service Pack battery. On the iPhone 12 and later, iOS notes a non-Apple battery in Battery Health even though the phone works normally; the Apple part avoids that note. We’ll price both so you can choose.

Samsung. Only genuine Samsung batteries go into Galaxy phones and tablets, so the cell is correctly rated and fast charging, wireless charging and the health readout keep working. More on Samsung repair Norwich.

Lithium batteries and why training matters

Modern batteries are glued in, right next to fragile flex cables. Levering one out the wrong way can tear a connector, and puncturing a lithium cell can cause heat or fire. It’s not a DIY repair.

At our Norwich shop the work is done by technicians trained in lithium handling and in your make and model, and every removed cell is recycled responsibly. CrC Repair® has run its repair business since 2004 and now has ten stores across the UK. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.

How much is a battery replacement in Norwich?

It depends on the device and model, and for newer iPhones on whether you choose a premium or Genuine Apple cell. We give you the complete price before starting, with nothing extra added when you collect.

Battery replacement Norwich — FAQs

Can you check my battery before I pay for one?

Yes, and it’s free. We run a quick diagnostic on the cell and the charging circuit, so you only replace the battery if that’s genuinely the problem.

How long does a battery replacement take in Norwich?

A phone battery is usually swapped within an hour when we have the part. Laptops, MacBooks and tablets take longer because more has to come apart; you’ll get a collection time when you hand the device over.

What should I do if my battery is swelling?

Unplug it, stop using it and don’t squeeze the case back together. A swollen lithium cell needs careful removal, so let our technicians remove it as soon as the shop is next open.

Will my iPhone show a battery warning after replacement?

On an iPhone 12 or newer, fitting a premium cell may trigger “Unable to verify this iPhone has a genuine Apple battery” in Battery Health. It doesn’t affect charging or performance. The message doesn’t show with a Genuine Apple Service Pack cell. More on iPhone repair Norwich.

Do you fit genuine Samsung batteries?

Every time. Galaxy phones and tablets only receive Samsung’s own cells, so fast charging and the battery health figure keep behaving as they should.

How long is a new battery guaranteed?

Twelve months on every battery we install, from smartwatches to MacBooks. See the repair warranty for the terms.
