Samsung gave the Note9 a 4000mAh battery, a big jump over the Note8, and it earned the phone a reputation for lasting all day. Charge cycles catch up with every battery though, and after years of daily use the runtime fades.

Fitting an original Samsung battery restores the capacity the phone launched with. We open the phone, swap the cell, reseal it and test charging before handing it back. The price shown includes the part and the fitting.

Common questions

My Note9's back cover is lifting slightly. Is that the battery?

Very possibly. A worn lithium battery can swell and push the back cover or screen away from the frame. Stop charging the phone and bring it in soon, because a swollen cell should not be left inside the device. Replacing it early protects the screen and back glass.

Why do batteries wear out in the first place?

Lithium cells degrade with charge cycles. Every full charge and discharge slowly reduces the capacity the battery can hold, and heat speeds the process up. A Note9 battery has typically been through well over a thousand cycles by now, so reduced runtime is normal wear, not a fault you caused.

Do you use original Samsung batteries for the Note9?

Yes. We are an authorised Samsung service centre and fit the original Samsung battery specified for the SM-N960F, not a generic cell. Original batteries match the rated 4000mAh capacity and the phone's charging profile. Part and fitting are included in the price shown.
