“Do you think I need a new battery?” That is a question we get on a daily basis here at iPhone Repair 4 Less located in Lafayette La. We have been repairing iPhones and iPads for years now and have been changing batteries since the iPhone 3g. So if you are asking yourself this specific question right now, we want to help outline some ways you can determine whether or not you need a new iPhone battery replacement.
First of all, we want to point out that Apple has recently made it easier than ever to check the status of your own battery health with a simple software update. With the latest IOS software running on your iPhone SE, iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, iPhone 8, and iPhone X, you are now given the option to check your battery health in the settings of your iPhone. So if you are running the latest IOS on your device head-on into your Settings<General<Battery<Health and if your battery is registering anything over 90%, you are good to go. Although this new feature is great for consumers to check their battery health on their own, we have also noticed many times that even with a good battery reading their still could be a need for a battery replacement. We have many steps in place here in Lafayette to check the performance, capacity, and life of your iPhone battery to determine if and when you should replace your iPhone battery.
One of the many things we have done since we began repairing iPhones almost 10 years ago is, checking how long your battery lasts on normal usage. We have a very simple mathematical technique for this. We will set a timer for your battery life and just perform basic operations until your battery has decreased by a few percent. Once this is complete we then do this equation (Minutes per percent lost) times (100) divided by (60)= how many hours you will get out of a full charge with normal usage. Anything below 6 to 8 hours with this test means we recommend getting a new battery for your phone. Although it may not be as important to change your battery when you are just noticing a minor decrease in how long it lasts, there are other reasons nowadays that make it more imperative to keep your battery fresh.
One of the main reasons battery replacement has become such a normal everyday repair for us at iPhone Repair 4 Less is because weak batteries also affect the overall performance of your iPhone. So even though you may be happy with how long your phone lasts with a full charge throughout the day, you may start experiencing lag when opening apps, slower boot times, delayed touch or swipe response time, and many other annoyances that could come up with poor battery health. If you ever feel you need a new battery or just want us to check it out for you with our free iPhone diagnostics service, come by our Lafayette phone repair location at 431 E Pont Des Mouton or call anytime at 337-255-2898. We would be honored to be the repair shop you choose to get your phone checked out and or repaired.
Although we could give many more ways to know if your battery is going bad in your iPhone and even a laundry list of effects this can have on your device, we will just leave you with a few more of the most common ones. When your iPhone battery is going bad it will begin to cause it to swell up inside your iPhone. If you notice your iPhone begin to swell we encourage you to get it checked out A.S.A.P. iPhone battery swelling can cause so many more issues like cracking the screen and even damaging the components on the motherboard. Another common issue we see is that some apps that use a lot of energy like Snapchat will crash randomly when trying to use. Also, we have seen that when iPhone batteries start to get weak the phone will either not charge properly or take a long time to charge. Either way, if you have any suspicion or just want to be safe, come by today!
