The 80% battery health rule

Apple designs iPhone batteries to keep about 80% of their original capacity after roughly 500 full charge cycles — usually a year and a half to two years of normal use. Once you drop below that 80%, the battery is officially worn, and you'll feel it: shorter days, slower charging, the odd unexpected shutdown.

You can check yours in seconds: open Settings → Battery → Battery Health & Charging and look at Maximum Capacity. If it reads 80% or below, or you see a "Service" note, it's time to think about a replacement. A fresh battery brings back a full day of use without you changing anything else.

Signs you need a new iPhone battery

Beyond the health percentage, these are the everyday giveaways:

• The phone doesn't last the day like it used to, or drops 20–30% in one go.
• Random shutdowns, especially when it's cold or the battery is below ~30%.
• It suddenly feels slower after an update (iOS quietly throttles a worn battery to prevent shutdowns).
• It gets warm and charges slowly, or won't hold a charge overnight.
• The screen or back is lifting — a sign the battery is swelling (see below).

Genuine Apple vs original-grade battery

We keep a couple of options so you can match the battery to your budget:

• Original-grade battery. A good-quality cell that restores full all-day life at the lowest price. Our most popular choice.
• Genuine Apple battery. An authentic Apple cell (iPhone 11 and newer). It keeps the Battery Health screen fully working and is the closest to factory.

One thing to watch with very cheap, no-name batteries: iOS can flag them with an "Unknown Part" or battery warning and may stop showing your health percentage. We fit proper batteries so that reading keeps working. If you want the deeper comparison, our iPhone repair cost, options & FAQ guide covers it.

Will Apple replace my battery for free?

Sometimes, yes. If your iPhone is still covered by Apple's warranty or AppleCare+ and the battery has dropped below 80%, Apple will replace it at no charge — so check that first via Apple's battery service page. Out of warranty, Apple's paid service is usually pricier and often needs an appointment. As a Certified Independent Repair Provider, we offer same-day replacement with genuine-grade parts and a 30-100 days warranty — longer than the usual 3-month cover most shops give.

Is a swollen battery dangerous?

Treat a swelling battery as urgent. If your screen is lifting at the edges, the back is bulging, or the phone rocks on a flat table, stop charging it, don't press on the screen, and bring it in soon. A swollen battery can crack your screen from the inside and, in rare cases, catch fire. We remove them safely every week — it's a quick, low-cost fix compared to leaving it.

Is it worth replacing the battery, or buying a new phone?

A battery is the cheapest way to make an older iPhone feel new again — usually S$25 to S$60, versus S$1,000+ for a new handset. If your phone is otherwise fine, a new battery is an easy yes. We weigh it up model by model in repair vs replace an iPhone in Singapore. If the screen is also going, see our iPhone screen replacement costs — or, if you'd rather upgrade, trade it in toward a newer model.

How long does an iPhone battery replacement take?

Most are done the same day, usually in 30 to 45 minutes as a walk-in, depending on stock. Your data stays untouched, though it's always smart to back up before any repair. Here's what to expect during the repair.

How to make your new battery last longer

A few simple habits stretch the life of any iPhone battery:

• Keep it cool. Heat is the real killer. Don't leave your phone on a hot dashboard or charging under a pillow.
• Turn on Optimised Battery Charging (Settings → Battery → Charging). It holds the charge at 80% overnight and tops up just before you wake, which eases wear.
• You don't need to drain it to 0%. Topping up through the day is perfectly fine; deep 0-to-100 cycles aren't necessary.
• Keep iOS updated. Updates often improve how your iPhone manages power.
