Yes, on nearly every tablet, and we do it every week. But a tablet is not like the old phones with a pop-off back. Almost all tablets are sealed shut, with the battery glued inside. Replacing it takes the right tools and a careful hand, which is exactly what this service is.
On most tablets, the battery fades while the rest of the device still works fine. That is why a new battery is the single best fix for an aging tablet, and far cheaper than replacing the whole thing.
A worn tablet battery gives clear signals, and they are the same across brands. These signs mean it is time for a tablet battery replacement. If your tablet does any of these, the battery is the likely cause, and our free check confirms it before you spend anything.
A charge that used to last for days now barely lasts hours. The battery has lost its capacity, which is how much power it can hold.
The tablet shows 30 or 40 percent, then suddenly powers off. A worn battery can no longer deliver steady power, so the tablet quits early.
It takes all night to charge, or the tablet will not wake up at all. A dead battery is a common reason a tablet seems completely dead, and a new battery brings many "dead" tablets right back to life.
The tablet runs fine on the charger but dies the moment you unplug it. That is a classic worn-out battery, and a replacement fixes it.
If the screen is rising out of the frame or the back is bulging, stop and read this. The battery inside has swollen, and that is a safety issue that needs attention now, on any brand of tablet.
Tablets spend months plugged in on counters and nightstands, and constant charging ages the battery faster. As an old battery breaks down inside, it makes gas and puffs up. It happens to every brand, and the fix is simply a new battery, fitted safely.
People are often surprised that a lightly used tablet has a dead battery. The reason is simple: batteries age from charging and from time, not just from use.
Many tablets stay plugged in around the clock. Sitting at full charge for months is hard on a battery and wears it down even when the tablet is barely touched.
Every full charge and drain is one cycle, and a battery only has so many cycles in it. Add a few years, and even a babied tablet ends up with a tired battery. It is normal wear, and a new battery fixes it.
Whatever tablet you own, we can match the battery and fit it safely. Here is where to find the exact help for your brand.
For Samsung tablets, including Galaxy Tab A, Tab S, and Tab E, see our Samsung tablet battery replacement service for the full details and pricing for your exact model. If your Galaxy Tab needs more than a battery, we also do full Samsung Galaxy Tab repair including screens and charging ports.
We replace batteries in Amazon Fire tablets, Microsoft Surface tablets, and Apple iPads too. Each has its own battery and its own way of opening, and we match the right one for your model. Bring yours in for a free check. For Surface tablets, see our Microsoft Surface repair page. For iPads, visit our iPad repair page for all iPad services.
We also handle the less common brands: Lenovo, Onn, RCA, Vortex, ZTE, Nexus, and more. If you have a tablet that holds a charge poorly, we can almost certainly help, no matter who made it. Just ask. See our tablet repair page for the full list of brands we service.
A tablet PC is just another name for a tablet, and it sometimes means a 2-in-1 device that works as both a tablet and a laptop, like a Surface. We replace batteries in those too. The battery is still sealed inside, so the same careful, tool-based work applies.
The price depends on your brand and model, since each tablet uses its own battery and some are easier to open than others. The check is free, and you approve the exact price before any work. Here is a general guide.

Almost always worth it. A new battery runs $69 to $159, while a new tablet costs several times that. Tablets age well, since most are used for browsing, video, and reading, so a tablet with a fresh battery often serves for years more. If your tablet is too old or damaged to be worth it, we tell you honestly at the free check.
No. A battery replacement does not touch your storage. Your apps, photos, accounts, and settings stay exactly as they are. We only replace the battery, and the tablet wakes up just as you left it, with much better battery life. If you ever need files pulled from a dead device, see our data recovery page.
We will give you the honest picture. Battery kits are sold online, but a tablet is one of the harder devices to open, and we see the results of tries that went wrong.
The screen or back is a thin glued panel that cracks easily when pried cold or unevenly. Under it, the glued battery must be lifted without bending it, since a bent battery is a fire risk. A cracked screen costs more than the battery job would have. If you are set on trying, work slowly with proper heat and tools. If you would rather skip the risk, our service is affordable, fast, and warrantied.
Our tablet battery replacement process is the same careful steps for every brand. Here is how it works.
Most tablet battery jobs are done the same day. Swollen batteries jump the line for safety.
Can you replace the battery in any tablet?
Nearly always, yes. The battery is sealed and glued inside, so it is not a pop-off swap, but with the right tools it is a routine job on any brand: Samsung, Amazon Fire, Surface, iPad, and more. We warm the glued panel, lift it safely, release the adhesive, and fit a new matched battery. Most are done the same day.
How much does a tablet battery replacement cost?
A standard tablet battery runs $69 to $129 installed, and premium or large tablets run $89 to $159. Safe removal of a swollen battery plus a new one is $79 to $159. The check is free, and you approve the exact price for your model before any work. Get a free quote or call (703) 594-9339.
My tablet screen is lifting up. What is happening?
The battery has swollen and is pushing the screen out of the frame. Stop charging, power it off, and do not press on it. A swollen battery is a safety issue, but an easy fix for us: we remove it safely and fit a new battery, usually the same day. This happens on every brand of tablet.
Is a "tablet PC" battery replacement different?
Not really. A tablet PC is just another name for a tablet, and sometimes means a 2-in-1 that works as a tablet and a laptop, like a Surface. The battery is still sealed inside, so the same careful, tool-based replacement applies. Bring it in and we will match the right battery.
Will I lose my photos and apps when the battery is replaced?
No. The battery and your storage are separate parts. Your photos, apps, and settings stay exactly as they are. The tablet comes back just as you left it, with fresh battery life.
My tablet won't turn on at all. Is it dead?
Often it is just the battery. A fully worn battery can make a tablet seem completely dead. Our free check tells you quickly, and a new battery brings many "dead" tablets right back to life.
Do you replace batteries in off-brand or older tablets?
Yes. We handle the less common brands too, like Onn, RCA, Vortex, ZTE, Nexus, and older models. If your tablet holds a charge poorly, we can almost certainly help, whoever made it. Bring it in for a free check. See our tablet repair page for every brand we cover.
Can I replace a tablet battery myself?
It is one of the riskier DIY repairs. The glued glass panel cracks easily without proper heat and tools, and a glued battery must not be bent during removal. A cracked screen costs more than the battery job. If you want it done safely with a warranty, that is exactly what our service is for.
Do not retire a good tablet over a tired battery. Our tablet battery replacement service covers every brand, from Samsung and Amazon Fire to Surface and iPad, with safe sealed-battery work, swollen battery removal, and a free check first. Your photos and apps stay put, and most jobs are done the same day. Call (703) 594-9339, request a quote, or contact us to bring your tablet in today. 30-day warranty on every battery.
