Is your phone dying faster than it used to? You may think it’s normal for batteries to fade over time—and it is—but certain symptoms mean it’s time for a replacement. Here are the top signs:

1. Your phone drains quickly

If you’re charging multiple times a day, the battery has likely deteriorated.

2. Your phone feels unusually hot

Overheating during basic use is often a battery issue.

3. Your phone shuts off at high percentages

Sudden shutdowns at 20–40% are a classic battery failure sign.

4. Your battery health is below 80%

Some devices show battery health in settings—anything under 80% means reduced performance.

5. Your phone charges slowly or not at all

This could be the battery or the charging port, but both need attention.

If you’re experiencing any of these problems, a simple battery replacement can add years of life to your device at a fraction of the cost of a new phone.
