If your laptop battery isn’t performing as well as it used to, there are several signs that it may be time for a replacement:

Battery Drains Quickly:
If you notice that your laptop battery depletes much faster than it did before, even after a full charge, it could indicate that the battery is wearing out.

Laptop Shuts Down Unexpectedly:
If your laptop shuts off randomly, even when it still shows battery life, this is a clear indication that the battery might be failing.

Charging Problems:
If your laptop takes an unusually long time to charge or won’t go beyond a certain percentage, it may suggest that the battery is no longer functioning properly.

Overheating:
A failing battery can cause your laptop to overheat, particularly during charging. Overheating can pose risks, so it’s essential to monitor this closely.

Swollen Battery:
If you see that the bottom of your laptop is bulging or the battery appears puffed up, this is a serious concern. A swollen battery can be hazardous and should be replaced immediately.

Old Laptop:
If your laptop is a few years old, the battery may simply be showing signs of aging. Typically, most batteries last around 2-3 years before they begin to lose their capacity.

You can check your battery’s health in a few ways. On Windows, you can create a battery report to see its status. On a Mac, you can check the battery condition in the “System Information” section.

A battery report in Windows is a detailed file that provides information about your laptop’s battery health and performance. It shows things like how much charge the battery holds, how often it has been charged, and whether it’s still performing well or starting to degrade. Here's how to generate and interpret a battery report on Windows, which works for both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

On a MacBook, you can check the battery cycle count to see if it's nearing the end of its usable life. Batteries have a finite number of charge cycles before their performance starts to decline. Once you hit the maximum cycle count, it's advisable to replace the battery to keep your device running smoothly. While you can still use your battery after reaching this limit, you may experience a decrease in battery life.

The labor for replacing a laptop battery usually costs between $75 and $150, depending on your laptop model and how much work is involved to replace the battery. Some laptops are easier to service than others, so the time it takes to access and replace the battery can affect the overall labor cost.

As for the battery itself, prices vary depending on whether you choose a genuine replacement from the manufacturer or a third-party compatible battery. Once we know your laptop's make and model, we’ll look into both options and help you choose the best one for your needs and budget.

If you’re not sure whether your battery needs replacing or want a more accurate estimate, just call us. We’ll give you a clear breakdown of both labor and battery costs before we move forward with anything.

The battery replacement itself usually takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on your laptop model. Some laptops are quick and easy to work on, while others might require a bit more time due to their design.

Since we don’t keep replacement batteries in stock, we order them on a case-by-case basis. Typically, it takes 1 to 7 business days to get the battery shipped to us, depending on the shipping option and delivery time you choose.

Once the battery arrives, we install it as soon as possible, usually the same day, so you can get your laptop back quickly.

It really depends on your comfort level with tech and the type of laptop you have. On most modern laptops, the battery is internal, so replacing it usually means taking apart at least part of the laptop. Some models even have batteries that are glued in, which can make things trickier. In certain cases, you might need to remove the logic board to get to the battery.

If you're feeling confident, you can check out battery replacement guides or YouTube tutorials for your specific laptop model and see if it's something you're up for. But if you’re not sure or don’t want to risk damaging your laptop, it’s probably a good idea to let a professional handle it.

Yes, absolutely! In most cases, we can provide an accurate estimate over the phone. Just call or email us with your laptop’s model number, and we’ll get back to you with a quote.

Please note that this estimate will only apply to the battery replacement service itself. If there are other issues with your laptop or if the problem isn’t actually related to the battery, the quote may not be accurate. If you're unsure whether the issue is battery-related, we recommend bringing your laptop in for a full hardware diagnostic.
