Phone Battery Replacement — North Providence, RI

Updated August 2026

Phone that dies by lunchtime, shuts off even though it says 30%, gets hot, or a screen that is starting to lift off the frame? "Do you fix battery issues" is one of the most common questions we get at the ProFix counter, 1712 Mineral Spring Ave in North Providence. We replace worn-out and swollen batteries on iPhone, Samsung, and other Android phones — and we check first that the battery is actually the problem before you pay for one. Call (401) 999-0100 or just walk in.

Signs your battery needs replacing

• Battery drains fast or does not last through the day like it used to.
• Phone shuts off suddenly at 20–40%, or dies in the cold.
• Battery health showing low (iPhone: Settings › Battery › Battery Health).
• Phone gets unusually hot while charging or sitting idle.
• The screen or back is starting to lift or bulge — a sign of a swollen battery.
• Only works while plugged in, or restarts randomly under load.

Swollen battery? Stop using it and bring it in

A battery that pushes the screen up, bulges the back, or makes the phone rock on a flat table is a swollen battery, and it should be taken seriously. A swelling lithium battery can be a fire and puncture risk, so do not press the screen back down, do not puncture it, and avoid charging it. Power the phone down if you can and bring it to us — we remove and dispose of swollen batteries safely and fit a fresh one. If you cannot get in right away, keep it somewhere cool and away from anything flammable. Call (401) 999-0100 and we will tell you the safest next step.

Is it the battery, or the charging port?

A phone that will not hold a charge is not always a bad battery — sometimes it is a worn or lint-clogged charging port, a bad cable, or a board-level fault. These are very different repairs at very different prices, so we diagnose first. We test the battery health, check whether the port is charging cleanly, and confirm what is actually failing before quoting, so you are not paying to replace a good battery. If it turns out to be the port, we handle that too.

How battery replacement works

We open the device, confirm the battery is the fault, safely remove the old cell, and fit a new battery. Then we test that it charges, holds a charge, and reads correctly before you leave. Many phone battery replacements are same-day. As with every repair here, we diagnose first and give you the price up front — no guaranteed-fix promises on problems that turn out to be board-level or a charging-port fault rather than the battery itself.

Devices we replace batteries in

• iPhone — all recent models, including battery-health warnings and swollen batteries.
• Samsung Galaxy — S, A, and Z fold/flip series.
• Google Pixel and other Android phones.
• iPad and tablets — bring it in and we will take a look.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a phone battery replacement cost?

It depends on your model, so we diagnose first — bring your phone to our North Providence store and we will confirm the battery is the issue and give you the price before any paid work starts. No fabricated quotes over the phone.

My screen is lifting up — is that the battery?

Very likely yes — a lifting screen or bulging back is the classic sign of a swollen battery. Stop using and charging it, do not press it down, and bring it in. We remove swollen batteries safely and fit a new one.

My phone only works when plugged in — do I need a battery or a charging port?

Could be either. A dead battery, a worn charging port, or a bad cable can all cause it, and they are different repairs. We test both and tell you which one it actually is before quoting so you do not overpay.

Is battery replacement same-day?

Many are, depending on the part and your model. Call (401) 999-0100 or walk in and we will tell you the turnaround for your specific phone.

Will replacing the battery erase my phone?

No — a battery replacement does not wipe your data. We still recommend a backup before any repair, just as good practice, but your photos and apps stay put.

Do I need an appointment?
