Devices we fit new batteries to in Stoke-on-Trent

If it runs on a rechargeable battery and you use it daily, we can probably help:

Phone battery replacement Stoke-on-Trent

iPhone and Galaxy make up most of our work, with Pixel, Motorola, OnePlus and Oppo close behind. Cells for current and older models, usually fitted while you wait. Other faults: phone repair Stoke-on-Trent.

iPad and tablet batteries

Apple, Samsung, Lenovo and Amazon tablets among others. If it won’t last an evening of streaming, a fresh battery normally fixes it. See tablet repair Stoke-on-Trent.

Laptop battery replacement Stoke-on-Trent

Dell, HP, Lenovo, Acer and Asus laptops, plus gaming machines. Work away from the socket again. More on laptop repair Stoke-on-Trent.

MacBook batteries

MacBook Air and Pro, Intel or Apple silicon. Newer models hold the battery more firmly, so technique matters. See MacBook repair Stoke-on-Trent and our national MacBook repair page.

Handheld consoles

Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck and ROG Ally batteries that drain mid-game can be replaced so they’re truly portable again.

Smartwatches

Apple Watch, Galaxy Watch and many fitness trackers use small but replaceable cells — we’ll check yours and tell you honestly.

Signs your battery is on its way out

These usually mean a worn battery rather than a broken device:

Flat by mid-afternoon

Same habits, same apps — but a full charge no longer gets you home.

Sudden drops or shutdowns

It falls from 30% to nothing, or turns off with charge left, especially on cold days.

iPhone health under 80%

Settings shows maximum capacity; once it’s below 80% the difference is obvious.

Warm for no reason

Heat while browsing or messaging can point to an ageing cell.

Tethered to the charger

Unplug it and it dies straight away — a sure sign the cell has given up holding charge.

Bulging case or lifting screen

A swollen battery is pushing parts apart — unplug it and bring it in promptly.

iPhone and Samsung battery replacement in Tunstall

iPhone — you choose the battery. A premium battery restores full capacity for less; on the iPhone 12 and newer, Battery Health will say it can’t confirm the battery is Apple’s, which doesn’t affect performance or safety. A Genuine Apple Service Pack battery avoids the message and keeps the health figure reading as normal. We’ll price both.

Samsung — genuine only. On Galaxy devices we install Samsung’s own cells, correctly rated for your model, which means super-fast charging, wireless charging and battery health work correctly. See Samsung repair Stoke-on-Trent.

Why a battery swap needs a trained technician

Lithium batteries are glued in place and sit next to delicate cables. Pry from a poor angle and a flex cable can rip; puncture the cell and it can overheat or catch fire. It’s one of the riskier repairs to attempt at home.

At Pocket Geek Stoke on Trent by CrC Repair® batteries are changed only by technicians trained on your type of device and on handling lithium cells safely, and old batteries are sent for proper recycling. CrC Repair® has been repairing devices since 2004 and runs ten stores. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.

Battery replacement Stoke-on-Trent — FAQs

How long does a battery replacement take?
Most phone batteries are changed in under an hour when we have the cell in stock. Tablets, laptops and MacBooks can take longer because of the adhesive and the way they’re built; we’ll tell you when to collect as you hand it over.

How do I know if I need a new battery?
Common signs are a charge that won’t last the day, shutdowns with percentage still showing, heat during light use or a case that’s starting to bulge. On an iPhone, Battery Health under 80% is a clear signal. We’ll test it for free before recommending anything.

My phone’s screen is lifting — is that the battery?
Very often, yes. A swollen lithium cell pushes the screen or back cover outwards. Stop charging it, don’t press on it, and bring it to Tunstall as soon as you can so we can remove the battery safely.

Do you fit genuine Samsung batteries?
Always. Galaxy phones and tablets receive Samsung-made cells exclusively, so fast charging and battery health behave as Samsung intended.

Will my iPhone show a message after a new battery?
From the iPhone 12 onwards, a premium battery can trigger a note in Battery Health that iOS can’t verify it as genuine; it works normally regardless. Apple’s own Service Pack cell avoids that note entirely. More on iPhone repair Stoke-on-Trent.

What’s the warranty on a new battery?
One year on every battery we fit, on any device. See our repair warranty for the full terms.
