How to Tell If It’s Time to Replace Your iPhone Battery

A weak or failing iPhone battery isn’t just an inconvenience — it can affect performance, cause unexpected shutdowns, and shorten the lifespan of your phone. At AMT Electronics, we specialise in fast, reliable iPhone battery replacements to keep you connected when it matters most.

Why Your iPhone Battery May Be Draining So Fast

Your iPhone’s battery health naturally degrades over time. But there are a few key factors that can accelerate this process:

Aging components: all batteries lose their ability to hold a charge as they age.

Extreme temperatures: exposure to freezing or very hot conditions can damage a phone’s battery.

Faulty charging: using non-Apple chargers or damaged charging cables can affect battery health.

High usage: heavy phone use — video calls, gaming, social media — drains the battery quickly.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your iPhone Battery

Here are a few clear indicators you might need a new battery:

Rapid draining: your phone drops from 100% to 20% in a matter of hours, even with light use.

Random shutdowns: your iPhone powers off unexpectedly, even when it shows plenty of battery left.

Slow performance: a weak battery can cause your phone to lag or struggle under heavy workloads. 

Overheating: your phone feels excessively warm during normal use — a sign your battery may be failing

Battery health below 80%: you can check this under Settings > Battery > Battery Health. Anything under 80% is a strong indicator it’s time for a replacement.

Why Should You Act Sooner Rather Than Later?

Ignoring a weak battery can lead to bigger problems down the track. A failing battery can put a huge strain on your phone’s components — causing slow performance, unexpected shutdowns, and even permanent damage if it starts to swell. 

Getting a new battery promptly can:

• Improve your phone’s performance immediately

• Provide peace of mind that your phone won’t let you down

• Prevent more serious damage from developing

• Save you from needing a more expensive phone replacement
