The battery in your Galaxy device is a consumable component that naturally degrades over time. As battery health decreases, you may notice shorter battery life, unexpected shutdowns, or other abnormal battery behaviour. If you experience these symptoms, check the battery condition on your Galaxy device and consider battery replacement if necessary.
Note:
- Battery replacement may be covered under warranty or may require paid service depending on the warranty conditions.
- Menu names, settings, and screen layouts may vary depending on the model and software version.
When to consider replacing the battery
Lithium-ion batteries gradually lose performance over time with continued use. The common signs of battery ageing include:
- Battery drains quickly after charging
- The device turns off unexpectedly, especially in cold environments or during winter
These symptoms may indicate that the battery is nearing the end of its lifespan. If you notice these changes, consider checking the battery condition and replacing the battery if necessary.
How to identify battery replacement timing through the alert
When the battery performance significantly declines, your Galaxy device may display a battery performance degradation alert.
If this notification appears, visit a Samsung service centre to have the battery inspected.
You can use Samsung Members Phone diagnostics to check the current battery condition of your Galaxy device.
Step 1. Open the Samsung Members app > Tap Support.
Step 2. Tap Get started.
* Start the full diagnostics first, stop the test, and then select the item you want to test.

Step 3. Tap Battery status.
Step 4. Check the diagnostic results.
Battery status:
- Normal: No performance issues with the battery.
- Weak: The battery efficiency may have decreased due to long-term use or environmental conditions.
