Phone Battery Replacement in Kampala
Batteries wear out with every charge cycle. When a phone dies at 30%, drains by lunchtime or the back starts lifting, a new battery usually brings it back to life. We test the old battery and the charging system first, so you only replace what actually needs replacing.

Signs you need this repair
- Battery drains much faster than it used to
- Phone switches off suddenly at 20–40%
- Phone only works while plugged in
- Back cover or screen being pushed out (swollen battery)
- Phone feels hot while charging or idle
What our technicians check first
- Battery health and charge cycle count where the phone reports them
- Swelling, heat and damage to the battery
- Charging current and port condition, to rule out a charging fault
- Apps or software causing heavy drain
How we carry out battery replacement
Most modern batteries are glued in. We remove the old battery carefully, without bending it, because a damaged lithium battery can catch fire. We then clean the adhesive, fit the new battery with fresh adhesive, reseal the phone and test charging and battery behaviour before handover.
What affects the cost of battery replacement?
Prices depend on your exact model and the part you choose. We give you a clear quotation after diagnosis, before any work starts.
- Phone model and battery capacity
- Original or quality compatible battery
- Whether the back glass must be removed (many glass-backed phones)
- Extra damage caused by a swollen battery, such as a pushed-out screen
How it differs by brand
Apple iPhone
On recent iPhones, a new battery may show a message in Settings and may not display a battery health percentage. We explain this before you approve.
Samsung
Galaxy batteries are strongly glued; careful removal protects the screen and board.
Tecno
Many Tecno Pova models use large-capacity batteries, so we match the capacity to your model.
Which replacement part is right for your phone?
For many repairs, especially screens and batteries, more than one type of part is available. We tell you which options exist for your exact model, how they differ, and the warranty on each, so you choose with full information.
Original / manufacturer parts
Made by or for the phone’s manufacturer. Usually the closest match to how the phone left the factory, and usually the most expensive. Availability varies by model.
High-quality compatible parts
Made by other suppliers to fit your model. A good-value choice for many repairs. Quality varies between suppliers, so we only fit parts we have tested.
Some differences can show after a repair, for example screen brightness and colour, or a "non-genuine part" notice on some phones. We explain these before you decide.

Battery replacement questions
Is a swollen battery dangerous?
Yes, it can be. Stop charging it, don't press on it, and bring the phone in. Swollen lithium batteries can overheat or catch fire.
How do I know if I need a new battery?
If the phone drains quickly, shuts down early or swells, the battery is usually the cause. We test it to be sure.
Will a new battery make my phone faster?
On iPhones that slowed down because of a worn battery, often yes. Otherwise, a battery fixes power problems, not general slowness.
How long does a battery replacement take?
Many are completed the same day when the battery is in stock. We confirm when you approve the quotation.
