Fold5 batteries live a hard life. The phone drives two displays from a 4400mAh dual-cell setup, and every lithium cell loses a little capacity with each charge cycle. A few years in, that adds up to afternoons spent hunting for a plug.
We restore it with an original Samsung battery fitted by trained technicians at our Umhlanga workshop. The price shown includes the battery and the fitting.

Common questions
How many years should a Fold5 battery last?
Lithium batteries are consumables, and capacity fades gradually with charge cycles rather than failing on a set date. Heavy users cycle their batteries faster than light users, so two phones the same age can feel very different. When yours no longer covers a normal day, it is ready for replacement.
Is it dangerous to keep using a badly worn battery?
A worn battery is mostly an inconvenience, but not always. Cells that swell push against the screen or back cover, and a phone that dies suddenly at random percentages is unreliable when you need it. If your Fold5's back or screen is starting to lift, stop charging it and bring it in.
Do you use original Samsung batteries for the Fold5?
Yes. Onnuri Tech is an authorised Samsung service centre, so the battery fitted is a genuine Samsung part specified for the SM-F946, not a generic cell relabelled to fit. The price on this page covers the original battery and the professional fitting together.
