Typical battery problems on the Mi 5s Plus
- Your Mi 5s Plus no longer lasts a working day – it used to easily reach 6-8 hours of screen-on time
- The device suddenly shuts off at 25-35% remaining charge and only turns back on once plugged in
- The Mi 5s Plus runs warmer than before while charging – a sign of higher internal resistance in the old cell
- The battery percentage jumps in big steps (65% → 35% → 10%) instead of dropping steadily
- The Mi 5s Plus no longer sits flat on the table — the back bulges slightly in the middle
- The Mi 5s Plus won't start after a full discharge, even after a long charge
- MIUI shows a clearly reduced maximum capacity in the battery settings
How does the Mi 5s Plus battery replacement work?
- Battery diagnosis via MIUI + meter
MIUI settings → Battery → Health shows the capacity. Our voltage/impedance measurement at the battery module confirms the finding. At < 80 % capacity or a cycle count > 500 we recommend a replacement.
- Carefully opening the back
The Mi 5s Plus is opened with a special suction cup and a warmed adhesive edge. The back is gently lifted off without warping the aluminium frame.
- Releasing the old battery
The battery cell is fixed to the aluminium frame with pull tabs. We release the adhesive strips with isopropyl 99 – never using a screwdriver as a lever.
- Fitting a certified 3800 mAh cell
A new lithium-polymer cell with identical capacity, 3.87 V nominal voltage and a precise form factor. Connector to the mainboard, adhesive to the frame, contact pressure controlled.
- Re-sealing + gasket
Old adhesive film removed, new Xiaomi adhesive applied, the back glued back under pressure. 30 min curing time.
- Full charge + calibration
First charge to 100 % at 25 °C – MIUI re-calibrates the battery gauge to the new cell. We check battery health and 18W charging.

How long does the new Mi 5s Plus battery last?
The replacement battery lasts 500-700 full cycles with normal use while keeping at least 80 % capacity – roughly 2.5 to 3.5 years of everyday use. A full cycle is one complete discharge from 100 % to 0 %. The warranty covers the cell and the fitting for 6 months.
Is the 3800 mAh battery in the Mi 5s Plus a standard replacement or original?
We fit certified 3800 mAh battery cells to the Xiaomi original specification: 3.87 V nominal voltage, identical capacity, the same charge curve. Original Xiaomi service packs are only available through authorised Xiaomi service centres. Our cells last measurably just as long.
Does 18W fast charging still work on the Mi 5s Plus after the swap?
Yes. The 18W fast-charging electronics sit on the Mi 5s Plus mainboard, not in the battery. Our replacement cell supports the full charging protocol and charges in the same time as before with an original Xiaomi power adapter. The cell chemistry is built for high-current charging.
Does the Mi 5s Plus have wireless charging?
No. By design the Mi 5s Plus has no wireless charging – Xiaomi leaves out the Qi coil in this class to optimise price and weight. Charging only works via USB-C at up to 18W.
My Mi 5s Plus is bulging at the back – is that dangerous?
Yes, potentially. A swollen battery has built up gas pressure (the cell chemistry is at its end) – a fire and explosion risk, especially in heat. Get it to us immediately: hazardous-goods disposal handled directly by Reparo, replacement for EUR 55. Until then, don't keep charging it or leave it in the sun.
Is the screen damaged during the Mi 5s Plus battery replacement?
No, not with us. We open the Mi 5s Plus from the back, so the screen stays untouched. With the aluminium build we monitor the heat control especially carefully so the aluminium frame doesn't warp.
Can I drop my Mi 5s Plus off directly at Reparo?
Reparo has no walk-in counter. You book an appointment online – our courier comes to your address across all 23 Vienna districts. From the provinces, insured shipping with return delivery included in the price.
How does the Vienna pickup service for the Mi 5s Plus battery replacement work?
Book online, pick a slot between 9 am and 6 pm, the courier drives to your Vienna address (1st district to the 23rd, Liesing). The battery replacement takes 60-90 minutes in the studio, often returned the same day. The courier is included in the EUR 55 fixed price.
Is shipping from the provinces safe for a Mi 5s Plus battery?
Yes. Battery shipping falls under hazardous-goods class 9 – we send a UN-approved shipping box. The Mi 5s Plus arrives in Vienna insured and goes back the same way after the swap. We regularly have customers from Graz, Linz, St. Pölten, Klagenfurt, Innsbruck and Bregenz.
Is any data lost during the Mi 5s Plus battery replacement?
No. The flash storage, Mi account and SIM card are not disconnected during the battery swap. Photos, WhatsApp chats, apps and settings all stay fully intact. A Mi Cloud backup is still recommended before any repair.
How long is the warranty on the new Mi 5s Plus battery?
Six months on the battery cell and the fitting. If the cell loses more than 10 % capacity in that time: a free re-swap. Not covered are deep discharge from leaving it untouched for months, or external force.
Do I lose the Xiaomi warranty through the Mi 5s Plus battery replacement?
The original Xiaomi warranty (1 year) on the Mi 5s Plus expired 9 years ago. If a manufacturer warranty is still running, it lapses through repairs outside authorised workshops. Reparo warranty: 6 months from the fitting on the cell and the work.
Is the Mi 5s Plus battery replacement still worth it in 2026?
Yes. A battery replacement at EUR 55 vs. a used device with a fresh battery from around EUR 69 – plus data migration, a new Mi account setup and lost app data. Xiaomi still supplies the Mi 5s Plus with MIUI updates, and the repair extends its life by 2-3 years.
