Laptop battery replacement
If your laptop runs down quickly, switches off away from the charger or has started to change shape, tell us the model and symptoms.
If the case or trackpad is lifting, switch the laptop off and stop charging it.

Understand the problem
Is the battery really the problem?
Battery faults can resemble charger, charging-socket or motherboard problems. These signs help an engineer understand which checks and parts may be needed.
Very short battery life
The laptop charges but lasts only minutes, loses charge unusually quickly or shuts down before the displayed percentage reaches zero.
Not charging
The battery percentage does not increase, charging is intermittent or the laptop works only while the charger is connected.
Case or trackpad lifting
A swollen internal battery can press against the casing or trackpad. Stop using and charging the laptop and request professional advice.
Not sure whether it is the battery or charger? Tell us the symptoms.
What the service covers
What a battery enquiry helps establish
The exact model matters because battery shape, connector, voltage and access method vary between laptops that look similar.
- Laptop manufacturer and exact model identification
- Battery condition and visible swelling checks
- Charger and charging behaviour symptoms
- Compatible replacement-part options
- Internal or removable battery access requirements
- Call-out or workshop availability for the specific model
- Testing after replacement
- Safe handling of the removed battery
A swollen battery needs care
Do not press a lifted trackpad or case back into place, puncture the battery, or keep charging the laptop. Place the switched-off device on a stable, non-flammable surface away from heat while arranging help.
What happens next
A clear repair process
Your answers let the engineer prepare for the laptop model instead of treating every charging symptom as the same fault.
Describe the laptop
Enter the make, model and what happens on battery power or while charging.
Confirm the likely route
A local engineer reviews compatibility, service method and whether further diagnosis is sensible.
Agree before work starts
Availability, likely timescale and cost are discussed with you before any repair is undertaken.
Before you decide
What affects price and turnaround?
A useful estimate depends on the laptop and the cause of the charging problem, not a single universal battery price.
Part availability
Battery prices and supply vary by exact part number, quality option and model age.
Access difficulty
Some batteries are removable; others require the case or additional components to be carefully removed.
Related faults
A charger, damaged socket or charging circuit may need attention instead of, or as well as, the battery.
Questions customers ask
Can you identify the battery from the laptop name alone?
Sometimes, but the exact model number is more reliable because one product range can use several different batteries.
Will a new battery fix a laptop that does not charge?
Only when the battery is the cause. Charger, socket and charging-circuit faults can produce similar symptoms, so diagnosis may be required.
Can I continue using a swollen battery?
No. Stop using and charging the device and arrange professional help. Do not try to flatten or remove a swollen battery unless you are trained to do so safely.
