Modern smartphones perform dozens of functions simultaneously: video playback, gaming, navigation, constant internet connection, and messaging. Because of this, batteries are significantly burdened, and over time their efficiency decreases. As a result, the phone quickly discharges, overheats, or even shuts down when there is about 20% charge left. Therefore, sooner or later the question arises: how much does it cost to replace the battery and is it worth doing it yourself.
Cost of Battery Replacement: Two Approaches
In the case of old phones or first-generation smartphones, replacing the battery was simpler. It was enough to open the back cover, remove the old battery, and insert a new one. Nowadays, however, most modern smartphones do not have a quick-release back cover, and replacing the battery requires disassembling the case and careful work with small screws and connectors.
1. Replacing the Battery YourselfIf you are ready to do the repair yourself, the costs will be limited to the price of a new battery. Modern batteries can be purchased at a reasonable price, and instructions for disassembling specific smartphone models can easily be found on YouTube or in specialized blogs. The main thing is to act carefully, as any mistake can damage the case or connectors.
2. Replacing the Battery at a Service CenterIf you do not want to do the repair yourself or do not have the necessary tools, it is worth turning to professionals. For example, you can use the battery replacement service at the service center https://www.aks.ua/remont-telefony/zamena-akkumulyatora.html. The cost of the service ranges from 300 UAH to 2000 UAH, depending on the phone model and the complexity of disassembly. In this case, the responsibility for the correct installation of the battery lies with the technician, and you receive a warranty for the new battery's performance.
Advantages of Battery Replacement
You should not immediately think about buying a new smartphone if your old device has started to "greedily" consume charge. Replacing the battery allows you to:
- restore the phone to working condition;
- extend the device's lifespan by several years;
- avoid unnecessary expenses on a new gadget;
- preserve important data and usage habits with the old device.
Thus, modern smartphones are complex devices, and replacing the battery has become more labor-intensive than before. However, in most cases, it is a simple and cost-effective solution. If you are ready for self-repair, then the costs will be limited to the price of the battery. If you want peace of mind and a quality guarantee, contact the service center. In any case, replacing the battery allows you to "revive" the smartphone and avoid unnecessary expenses on a new gadget.
