Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does iPhone battery replacement take? A: Most iPhone battery replacements at Techfix Malaysia are completed within 1-4 hours depending on model. iPhone 12-14 series typically take 1-2 hours, while iPhone 15-16 series take 2-4 hours due to additional adhesive layers.
Q: Will my data be safe during battery replacement? A: Yes, battery replacement doesn't affect your data storage. However, we always recommend backing up before any repair service as a precaution.
Q: Do OEM batteries work with iOS battery health features? A: Yes, our high-quality OEM batteries fully support iOS battery health reporting and show accurate maximum capacity percentages. Low-quality aftermarket batteries may show "Service" or won't report health accurately.
Q: Will battery replacement fix my slow iPhone? A: If your iPhone is slow due to performance throttling from a degraded battery, yes. iOS automatically slows down devices with failing batteries to prevent shutdowns. A new battery restores full performance.
Q: Can I replace the battery myself? A: While DIY battery replacement kits exist, we don't recommend it. iPhones use strong adhesive and have delicate connectors. Improper removal can damage the logic board, break the display connector, or puncture the battery (fire hazard). Professional replacement at Techfix costs RM 149 and includes warranty.
Q: How long will a new battery last? A: A quality OEM battery should maintain 80%+ capacity for 500-800 charge cycles (roughly 2-3 years of typical use). Original batteries may last slightly longer at 800-1000 cycles.
Our iPhone battery replacement service uses high-quality OEM batteries with full iOS battery health reporting support. If your iPhone has other issues beyond the battery, our iPhone repair services cover screens, charging ports, water damage, and more.
