If your device is quite old, chances are that the battery is draining faster than usual. This may be due to frequent charging or because the battery cells become weaker to maintain a charge. To get an updated user experience, Xiaomi and Redmi smartphone users need to have their devices checked by an authorized service center.

If the battery condition is below the recommended one, users can replace the battery at a starting price of Rs 499. The price may vary depending on the device and the model of the battery itself.

Users can go to the nearest authorized service center to get the battery price information and warranty details. If necessary, they can also make an appointment for a battery replacement.

Why is it important to replace a defective battery?

Modern smartphones are equipped with many technologies to ensure the safety of the lithium-ion battery of the device and maximum performance. However, over time, the condition of the battery deteriorates after prolonged use, causing the battery to drain more quickly. Doing so may reduce the overall battery capacity, which in turn will result in shorter Screen On Time (SoT)/standby time.

The SoC inside the phone can also slow down the performance of the device if the battery drains faster. This is to ensure that the SoC does not consume more battery power, which in turn can result in longer battery life.

There may be a situation where the battery is defective and may not charge as efficiently. In such cases, it is best to visit an authorized service center to check the quality of the battery. We also recommend that you use a company-provided/approved charger to charge your phone.
