Tablet and iPad Battery Replacement

A tablet that once lasted a long car journey but now dies halfway through a film probably has a tired battery. Age and heavy use gradually reduce capacity.

Replacing a tablet battery means removing a glued screen, so it needs care and the right tools. We do this regularly for iPads and Android tablets and test charging thoroughly afterwards.

If the tablet won’t charge at all, it might be the port rather than the battery. We’ll check both.

Battery Problems We Fix
in East Grinstead

Worn-Out Phone Battery

Two or three years of daily charging takes its toll. A replacement usually restores all-day battery life, often fitted while you wait.

Won't Hold Charge

If the percentage plummets, the battery has probably lost capacity. We measure it properly before recommending a new one.

Swollen Battery

A swollen battery can push the screen out and poses a safety risk. Don’t charge it; bring it in.

Battery Draining Fast

Rapid drain isn’t always the battery. Rogue apps and faulty boards can cause it too, so we check first before replacing anything.

Charging Problems

Slow or intermittent charging often starts with the cable or charging port. We test the whole chain.

Switching Off Suddenly

Shutting down at 30%, or in cold weather, is a classic sign of a worn battery. We’ll test its health and tell you what we find.

Keep the Phone You're Used To

A Cheaper Alternative to Upgrading

Many people upgrade their phone mainly because the battery has become a nuisance. Yet the rest of the phone is often perfectly capable of several more years’ service. A new battery is far cheaper than a new handset, and you keep all your apps, photos and settings exactly as they are, without any setting up.

It’s better for the environment, too. Fewer phones end up in landfill when a straightforward battery replacement can keep a device running. We’re happy to look at phones, tablets and laptops alike.
