Battery replacement
Batteries on electronic devices will deteriorate over time and they do start draining faster; sooner or later your device will need a battery replacement. Sherwood Mobile works with the best UK suppliers to source highest quality replacement batteries that are cost-effective.
Signs indicating that your phone battery might need replacing:
1. Reduced Battery Life:
Quick Drainage: If your battery is running out faster than usual despite normal usage patterns, it might indicate battery degradation.
2. Overheating:
Excessive Heat: If your phone becomes notably hot during regular usage or while charging, it could signal a battery issue.
3. Swelling or Physical Changes:
Bulging Battery: A swollen or expanded battery can be dangerous and should be replaced immediately to avoid potential hazards.
4. Charging Problems:
Slow Charging: If your phone takes significantly longer to charge than it used to, it might be due to a deteriorating battery.
Inconsistent Charging: Issues with maintaining a consistent charge or sudden drops in battery percentage could suggest a failing battery.
5. Random Shutdowns or Unexpected Power-offs:
Sudden Shutdowns: If your phone shuts down unexpectedly even though it indicates battery life remaining, it could be a battery-related problem.
6. Visible Wear and Tear:
Corrosion or Leaks: Any signs of leakage, corrosion on the battery terminals, or an unusual odor could mean the battery is failing.
7. Age of the Battery:
Time Since Purchase: Generally, smartphone batteries have a lifespan of about 2-3 years with regular use. As they age, their capacity diminishes.
