Does your phone feel like it needs a charge every couple of hours? Or does it shut off randomly—even when there’s battery life left? These are common signs your phone battery may be on its last leg.
At Midland PCS in Columbia, SC, we help customers every day who are frustrated by battery issues. Here’s how you can tell if it’s time for a replacement—and how we can help.
🔋 Battery Drains Quickly—Even on Light Use
If your phone battery drops from 100% to 50% within an hour or two—even when you’re not doing much—it’s a clear indicator the battery health has deteriorated.
This issue is especially common in older devices or phones that have been charged frequently with non-original chargers.

📴 Random Shutdowns
Your phone might shut down suddenly even if it shows 20–30% battery remaining. This happens when the battery can no longer deliver consistent voltage, especially under load (like video or gaming).
🔌 Overheating While Charging or During Use
Some heat is normal, but if your phone gets excessively hot, particularly during charging or simple tasks like browsing or texting, it could be your battery struggling to keep up.
⚡ Takes Too Long to Charge or Charges Too Fast
If your phone charges unusually fast and then dies just as quickly, or takes forever to charge at all, the battery may be faulty—or the charging port may also need inspection.
📉 Battery Health Report Shows Low Capacity
iPhones let you check battery health under:
Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging
If the maximum capacity is below 80%, Apple itself recommends a replacement.
Samsung and other Android phones may need a diagnostic app or third-party inspection (which we offer for free!).
