January 1st: “This is it. This is my year. I’m cutting sugar, going to the gym every day, and finally learning French on Duolingo.”

January 7th: I’m lying on the couch, eating stale Timbits for breakfast, and the only French I’ve spoken is “croissant.” My Fitbit hasn’t left the charger since the 3rd. In other words: my New Year’s resolution lasted about as long as your phone battery does these days.

If your device dies before you can even scroll through half your group chats, congratulations — your phone battery has officially joined the failed resolutions club. Luckily, unlike your treadmill, your phone doesn’t have to become an expensive dust collector. We can actually fix it.

Signs Your Battery Has Commitment Issues

• It goes from 80% to 20% faster than you can say “double-double.”
• You keep a charger in every room like it’s an emotional support animal.
• The phone randomly shuts down at 30% just to keep you humble.
• You’ve started judging your day not by the clock but by how many battery percentages you have left.

If any of that sounds familiar, it’s time for a battery replacement. Don’t keep living in low-power mode — that’s not a lifestyle, that’s a cry for help.

iPhones, Samsungs, LGs — Oh My

It doesn’t matter if you’re Team Apple or Team Android, batteries don’t discriminate. We see it all the time:

• iPhone batteries that tank before lunchtime.
• Samsung batteries that need more naps than a toddler.
• LG phones that go from 100% to “surprise blackout” without warning.

If it charges, we’ve fixed it. If it doesn’t, we’ve definitely fixed it. And if you’re not sure whether it’s your battery or something else, we’ll tell you straight. Honest diagnosis, fast repair, done right here in Barrie.

But Wait — What If It’s Not the Battery?

Sometimes, what feels like a battery problem can actually be a charging port issue. If your phone only charges at that one weird yoga angle, the culprit could be the port. Don’t worry, we fix those too. Check out our charging port repair blog for the gory details.
