The Note8 shipped with a 3300mAh battery, modest even by 2017 standards. After years of charge cycles the cells wear down, and the first signs are a phone that dies before lunch or shuts off in the cold.
An original Samsung battery brings the runtime back to where it was on day one. Our technicians fit it, seal the phone back up and test it before you collect. The part and the fitting are included in the price shown.

Common questions
How do I know it's the battery and not something else?
Sudden shutdowns, a percentage that jumps around and poor standby time all point to a worn battery, especially on a phone from 2017. You can run a battery diagnostic in the Samsung Members app. If you are still unsure, bring it in and we will test it.
Is a new battery worth it on a phone this old?
If the rest of the Note8 still works well, yes. The battery is usually the only thing holding an older phone back, and an original replacement restores full capacity. It costs far less than a new phone and keeps a perfectly good device in service.
Will I lose my photos and data during the battery swap?
No. The battery is replaced without touching your storage, so apps, photos and messages stay exactly where they are. We still recommend a quick Smart Switch or cloud backup before any repair, which is good practice with any phone being opened.
