Xiaomi has come up with a Battery Replacement program in India that makes it easy for a user to get the battery of their phones and other devices replaced easily.

The program allows users to get the battery of the smartphone checked at the authorized service centres and get a replacement done in case required.

According to a Twitter post by Muralikrishna B, Xiaomi’s COO, the batteries for Xiaomi and Redmi devices will be available at a starting price of Rs. 499. He’s also shared a link to the Xiaomi website that lists the authorized service centres across the country and the cost of spare parts.

How to check when your phone's battery needs a replacement

The battery on a smart device is an extremely important component. These tiny Li-ion batteries are the reason why we are able to use these devices on the go. However, with constant charging and discharging, batteries eventually lose their capacity to retain a charge.

As a result, they start to discharge rapidly and do not provide the same level of backup when they were fresh out of the box. A degraded battery also impacts the device’s overall performance, and it might start malfunctioning.

While iPhones come with inbuilt functionality to show battery health, Android phones often lack this feature. However, you can download apps from the Play Store that can help you assess the health of your phone’s battery in case you feel that it’s not offering enough backup.
