Common Signs for Lithium-Ion Battery Replacement
- Longer Charging Time: If a battery takes longer to charge than usual, it may be losing capacity and is a sign of battery wear.
- Shorter Battery Life: When a device discharges faster than it used to, it often indicates that the battery is weakening and needs replacement.
- Overheating: Excessive heat during use or charging can signal internal issues and pose safety risks. It’s a significant indicator for replacement.
- Inability to Charge: If a device cannot be charged anymore, it is likely that the battery has reached the end of its life.
- Unexpected Power Offs: Sudden shutdowns despite sufficient battery life suggest a failing battery.
- Inaccurate Battery Indicators: If the battery level indicator on your device is inaccurate, it could be due to a failing battery.
- Sluggish Device Response: While this can be due to other factors, slow device performance might also indicate a weak battery.
- Physical Damage: Signs of physical damage such as swelling, cracks, or leakage require immediate replacement for safety.
