How long does the life of a battery usually last?
The battery of a phone or tablet is one of the elements that can give us the most headaches. Although there are many tips on how to charge it correctly, it gradually suffers from failures. The passage of time or misuse are determining factors for this. For that reason, we are going to explain to you when you should change it.
Normally, the service life of a lithium battery is between 300 and 500 cycles before it degrades significantly. Each cycle corresponds to a charge from 0 to 100 and is cumulative, which means that if you charge 40% one day and 60% the next day, you will have completed 1 full cycle on the second day. By doing the math and taking into account that we perform a full charge cycle approximately once a day, the life of your battery may be a year and a half at full capacity.
How do I know if my battery is ready to be replaced?
EFirst of all, one of the most obvious signs is when your phone's battery dies earlier than before, even if you use it the same way you always have. Another way to find out is because the charge does not go down or up gradually. That is, if you notice that the battery discharges in jumps, going from 50 to 20 percent in a matter of minutes even if you are not doing anything with the device. The same happens in the charging cycles, if it is damaged it usually charges without following a gradual progression, going for example from 10 to 40 percent in just minutes.
Also one of the symptoms is swelling, but it is something that we can no longer observe as before because the batteries now are not like before. We will surely need the help of a technician who can tell us when we open the device if it is deformed or swollen.
Where to change the battery of my device?
As we mentioned before, changing the battery of your phone is more complicated nowadays. We can no longer do it ourselves from home, we must take the phone to a store with a technical service where they can perform this work for us.
How much can a battery replacement cost me?
The price varies a lot depending on how old the battery is and the specific model. Costs can range from €30 to €80 approximately. You always have to ask for the exact model to know a specific price.
