21 Jul 2026
If your phone dies before the day is done, the battery is usually the culprit. Here are five signs it is time for a replacement.
1. It drains fast
Batteries lose capacity over time.
2. Sudden shutdowns
Especially at 20–40%.
3. Overheating
Getting warm during light use is a warning sign.
4. Slow charging
Taking much longer than it used to.
5. Swelling
Stop using it and get it checked immediately.
