Laptop Battery Replacement in Grange, Adelaide

Signs your battery needs attention

• The battery drains much faster than it used to
• The percentage jumps around or the laptop shuts off at 20-30%
• It only runs while the charger is plugged in
• Windows shows "plugged in, not charging"
• The battery is swollen - the case bulges, the trackpad lifts or the lid won't close flat

Is it the battery or something else?

Not every power problem is the battery. A worn charger or cable, a loose charging port, a battery-care setting that stops charging at 80%, or a fault in the charging circuit can all look the same. We test each part so you only pay for what's actually needed. If the battery checks out fine, see laptop charging repairs.

Swollen battery? Stop using it

A swollen battery can be a safety risk. Switch the laptop off, unplug it, don't press on the bulge and don't try to charge it. Bring it in and we'll check it.

How battery replacement works

1. Diagnose - we test the battery, charger and charging.
2. Quote - we identify the right battery for your exact model and give you a price.
3. Approve - nothing happens until you say yes.
4. Replace and test - we fit the battery and check it charges and holds charge properly.
5. Collect - pick it up from the workshop.

Brands we commonly see

Lenovo, Dell, HP, ASUS, Acer, Microsoft Surface, MSI and more - see brands we repair. Many modern laptops have internal batteries that take more work to reach, and some are glued in, which can affect the price and time. For MacBooks, see MacBook & iMac repairs.

Price and timing

Battery prices vary by model. We quote once the exact battery for your laptop is identified, and nothing goes ahead until you approve. How long it takes depends on whether that battery is available for your model - we'll let you know what to expect. Warranty depends on the part used and is confirmed on your quote.

Is a new battery worth it?

If the rest of the laptop is in good shape, a new battery can give it plenty more life. If it's also slow, an SSD upgrade may help too. If it's old and needs several repairs, a refurbished laptop can be the better spend - we'll tell you honestly.

What to bring

• Your laptop and its charger
