Fairphone 2 Battery Replacement Vienna
Is your Fairphone 2 no longer lasting through the day? Is the battery swelling up or the device shutting down unexpectedly? Thanks to its modular design, the 2,420 mAh battery in the Fairphone 2 is especially easy to replace — we handle it quickly and reliably in Vienna. Fixed price 59 €, 6-month warranty.
When does a battery replacement make sense for the Fairphone 2?
The Fairphone 2 was released in 2015 and is one of the first truly modular smartphones. Its 2,420 mAh battery loses noticeable capacity after many charge cycles — typical signs are: the device no longer lasts even 4 hours, the battery level jumps erratically, or the phone simply shuts down at 20 %.
The big advantage over other models: the Fairphone 2 needs no hot-air tool or glue — the battery can be removed modularly. This makes the repair fast, low-risk and fairly priced.
- Battery lasts less than half a day
- Device shuts down unexpectedly while charge is still available
- Battery level shows unreliable or jumping values
- Battery visibly swells up — immediate action required
- Charging takes unusually long or repeatedly fails

Spare part: 2,420 mAh battery cell for the Fairphone 2
For the battery swap we use a compatible 2,420 mAh cell with stable charge capacity and solid cycle endurance. Fairphone itself offered spare parts for the FP2 for a long time — however, availability is limited compared to newer models. We source matching replacement cells through vetted suppliers.

Frequently asked questions about the Fairphone 2 battery replacement
What does a battery replacement for the Fairphone 2 cost?
The battery replacement for the Fairphone 2 costs 59 € with us — a fixed price that already includes the replacement battery and labour time. No further costs are added as long as no additional damage is found on the device.
How long does the battery replacement for the Fairphone 2 take?
Thanks to the modular design of the Fairphone 2, the battery swap usually takes 20–30 minutes. The device does not have to be opened with hot air, which significantly shortens the processing time.
Can I drop off the Fairphone 2 in person?
No, we do not offer walk-in service. You can either have your Fairphone 2 collected via our pickup service in Vienna or send it in by post from anywhere in Austria. Registration is simple via appointment or phone call.
Will I lose my data during the battery replacement?
During a pure battery swap your data remains fully intact, since only the battery is replaced and the system is not touched. We still recommend a current backup — better safe than sorry.
What is a diagnostic check and what does it cost?
Before every repair we check your device for all relevant defects. The diagnostic check costs 25 € — this amount is fully credited towards the repair price and is therefore waived when you place a repair order. So you never pay twice.
What battery capacity does the spare part have?
We install a compatible 2,420 mAh battery cell — the same capacity as the original part. The new cell should give you noticeably longer everyday runtime again than an old, worn-out battery.
How long does the new battery last?
A new battery cell lasts several years with normal usage. Anyone who charges their device daily can expect another capacity drop after 2–3 years. Until then, the runtime should be noticeably better than before.
Is a repair still worth it for the Fairphone 2?
The Fairphone 2 is indeed an older device, but if it otherwise works well, a battery replacement for 59 € absolutely makes sense. A comparable new smartphone costs many times more — and with the FP2 you keep all your familiar data and settings right away.
Is there a warranty on the new battery?
Yes, we give a 6-month warranty on the installed battery and the work carried out. If a problem with the battery occurs during this period, we will take care of it.
Can I also send in the device from Graz or Salzburg?
Yes, our send-in service is available Austria-wide. You send your Fairphone 2 to us in Vienna by post, we repair it and send it back. Simply register beforehand by phone or form.
What happens if further damage is discovered while opening the device?
If we discover additional defects while opening the device, we inform you first and obtain your consent before any further work is carried out. You decide yourself what gets repaired.
Can a swollen battery become dangerous?
Yes, a swollen battery is a clear warning sign. It can increase the pressure inside the housing and, in the worst case, damage the board or the display. We recommend sending in the device as soon as possible and not continuing to use or charge it.
Do you use original or aftermarket parts?
We use tested compatible replacement batteries. Since Fairphone no longer offers original spare parts for the FP2 itself, we rely on high-quality compatible cells that we check for quality and capacity before installation.
How do I register my device for the pickup service?
Simply call us at +43 677 62801426 or book an appointment via our website. We then arrange a suitable time slot for the pickup in Vienna.
Do you also repair other defects at the same time?
Yes, if you want to have several defects on your Fairphone 2 fixed, we can do it in one step. Let us know all known problems when registering so we can plan parts and time correctly.
