How many mAh should a phone battery have?

mAh shows how much charge a battery can store. Your phone’s battery should have the capacity the maker states for that model. Be wary if a replacement battery’s label shows a much higher figure than the original. Battery life depends not only on mAh but also on the screen, processor and software.

Key points
  • mAh is the amount of charge a battery can store.
  • The right value is the capacity the maker states for that model.
  • A replacement claiming far more mAh than the original is suspicious.
  • Battery life also depends on the screen, processor and software.
  • A worn battery’s real capacity falls below the label value.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

How many mAh should a phone battery have?

The capacity the maker states for that model; the figure varies by model.

02

Does a higher mAh always mean longer battery life?

No. The screen, processor and software also set battery life.

03

Is a replacement battery with a high mAh label good?

A figure far above the original usually does not reflect reality; be wary of it.

04

Will a battery replacement delete my data?

Data is usually preserved during a repair; still, you need to back up your data before the repair starts (backups are the customer’s responsibility).

We had a screen protector fitted, and they gave us gifts I think were worth more than the screen protector. Most of all, thank you for the friendly welcome.

Phone works but the screen is black: what to do

If your phone rings or vibrates but the screen is black, the phone is on; the problem is the screen or its connection. Force restart and charge it first. Shine a torch close to the screen in the dark: a faint picture means a backlight fault. If it started after a drop or liquid, the screen is usually replaced.
