Battery problems are one of the most common reasons people in Clermont, FL consider upgrading their phone — but in most cases, you do not need a new device. You just need a new battery. Here are five specific signs that your iPhone or Samsung battery is on its way out, along with what replacement costs look like in 2026 and how RAD Gadget Repair can fix it at your door.

Sign 1: Your Phone Dies Much Faster Than It Used To

Lithium-ion batteries — the type in every modern smartphone — degrade over time. Each charge cycle slightly reduces the battery’s capacity to hold a full charge. After 300 to 500 cycles (typically one to two years of regular use), most batteries have lost enough capacity that you notice a real difference in daily runtime. If your phone used to easily last through a full day and now needs a charge by mid-afternoon, battery degradation is almost certainly the cause.

Sign 2: Unexpected Shutdowns

One of the most frustrating symptoms of a failing battery is a phone that shuts off unexpectedly even though the battery indicator shows 20%, 30%, or even 50% remaining. This happens because the battery’s voltage drops unpredictably under load — the charge indicator becomes unreliable as the battery ages. If your phone randomly powers off during calls, navigation, or video, the battery is the likely culprit.

Sign 3: Battery Health Below 80% (iPhone)

Apple gives you a direct window into your battery’s health. Go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health and look at the Maximum Capacity percentage. Apple itself recommends battery replacement when this figure falls below 80%. Below that threshold, the battery management system may also enable performance throttling to prevent unexpected shutdowns — which means your phone is literally slowing itself down to compensate for a worn battery.

Sign 4: Phone Only Works When Plugged In

If your phone works perfectly fine while charging but powers off the moment you unplug it, the battery has failed almost completely. At this stage, it can no longer supply the current your device needs to operate independently. This is a clear sign the battery needs immediate replacement.

Sign 5: Swollen or Warm Back

A physically swollen battery — one that causes the back of your phone to bulge or pop the display slightly — is a serious issue. Swollen lithium-ion batteries can rupture and, in extreme cases, pose a fire risk. If your phone back feels puffy or your screen has gaps around the edges it did not have before, stop charging it and contact a repair professional immediately.
