The A05 is young enough that battery complaints usually mean heavy use: ride-hailing, deliveries, long days of hotspot and video. Charge cycles are charge cycles, and enough of them wear the 5000mAh cell no matter the phone's age.
We fit the original Samsung battery for the SM-A055 with the work included in the listed price. Once the worn cell is out, the standby drain and surprise shutdowns go with it.
Signs you need this repair
- Hotspot or video calls flatten it in a couple of hours

- Turns off in the sun or in a hot car

Common questions
My A05 is barely two years old. Should the battery be worn already?
It can be. Wear tracks charge cycles rather than birthdays, so a phone charged twice a day accumulates cycles at double pace. Heat adds to it, and Durban delivers plenty of that. If the phone lives on the charger, worn cells at two years is quite normal.
Can you check whether my battery actually needs replacing?
Yes, and we prefer to. Bring the phone in and we will look at its behaviour and charge readings before recommending anything. If the drain turns out to be an app or a charging fault instead, you will hear that from us rather than a sales pitch for a battery.
Should I wait for the battery to die completely before replacing it?
No. Running a phone on a badly worn battery brings random shutdowns, sluggish performance and, in the worst case, swelling that presses on the screen and cover from inside. Replacing it once the day-to-day drain becomes obvious is easier on the phone and on you.
