Samsung Galaxy A05s Battery Replacement Vienna

A fixed EUR 69 in Vienna. You get a new 5,000 mAh cell, fitted under the plastic cover with fresh adhesive, plus a charging check before the A05s goes back to you. A six-month warranty is included. If you go ahead with the replacement, we do not charge the 25 EUR for the diagnostic check, even if we measured beforehand.

When the A05s no longer gets through a day of normal use, even though it used to last easily. When new, the 5,000 mAh battery comfortably covers a long day of calls, chats and some browsing. If you need the cable by early afternoon or the phone switches off at 15 percent, a new battery for EUR 69 brings back the runtime you are used to.

5,000 mAh, fitted as a fixed lithium polymer battery. The replacement battery we fit has the same rated capacity. After the swap the battery gauge needs a few charge cycles before it estimates the remaining runtime accurately again. If the runtime still seems shorter than expected after two weeks, we measure the battery again under the six-month warranty.

Up to 25 watts via USB-C. There is no charger in the box, so the speed depends heavily on the adapter you use. With a 25 W Samsung charger the A05s reached 43 percent after 30 minutes in the GSMArena test. After the battery replacement we test with exactly such a charger to check that fast charging kicks in again.

In the vast majority of cases. An aged battery can no longer hold its voltage under load, for example when starting the camera or in the cold, and the phone shuts down to protect itself even though the gauge still shows reserve. A new battery for EUR 69 fixes that. If the A05s still does not start cleanly afterwards, we check the charging port and board as well.

Quite possibly. If the plastic cover lifts along one edge or something pushes the display forward from inside, that is a typical sign. Stop charging the A05s and do not press on it. We replace the battery for EUR 69 and check whether the back closes properly again or needs replacing for EUR 59.

Yes, straight away. We charge the new battery at our end and test it with a 25 W charger. At home you can charge as usual; no special calibration is needed. Simply let the battery run through a few cycles in the first days so the gauge estimates the capacity correctly again and does not show wrong percentages.

Yes, after booking an appointment you get a fixed slot in the 22nd district. Without a booking nobody is there, because we do not run an open workshop. Especially with a swollen battery, handing it over in person or using pickup is better than the post, because the A05s then does not have to go into a parcel where it could be squeezed.

Yes. Enter your address and time window when booking, we collect the A05s and deliver it back with a new battery. Pickup and return delivery together cost from EUR 17.90, depending on the district zone. Because the replacement only takes 60 to 90 minutes, the phone is often back with you the next working day.

Yes, as long as the battery is not bulging. Switch the A05s off, pad it well and send it in a sturdy box; the instructions arrive by email after you book online. A swollen lithium battery, on the other hand, does not belong in a parcel, because pressure can damage it. In that case please choose pickup or a drop-off appointment.

No. The battery is only the power source; photos, chats and apps sit in the internal storage or on the microSD card and stay unchanged. You get your A05s back with all its settings. Only the battery statistics in Settings start from scratch, because the system first has to get to know the new battery.

Only for a genuine defect. A battery that drains faster in the cold is normal and recovers once the phone is warm again, so that alone is not a warranty case. If runtime stays short indoors too, we measure the capacity: if the battery is weaker than it should be or the A05s shuts down for no reason, we replace it at no cost within the six-month warranty. This does not apply after a new drop or contact with water, which we can see when opening the phone.

For most people the battery. EUR 69 is far less than the EUR 159 RRP the A05s launched at in Germany, and you save yourself data transfer and set-up. A new phone makes more sense if screen and charging port are broken as well, or if the performance of the A05s no longer meets your everyday needs.

That cannot be said for sure without measuring. A fully drained, aged battery is possible, but so is a faulty charging port or a fault on the board. The 25 EUR diagnostic check finds the cause and gives you a fixed price. If it is the battery, the replacement costs EUR 69 and the 25 EUR is not charged.

Not necessarily. The A05s has no IP protection, so moisture quickly reaches the port, battery connector and board. Switch it off and stop charging. We clean the phone in a bath for around 48 hours and then check whether battery, port or board are affected. Treatment starts at EUR 49; we only fit a new battery if it has really been damaged.
