Your iPhone 5 dies as soon as it's unplugged — we'll fit a fresh battery straight from the factory box in 25 minutes.
Shutdowns in the frost, a jumping percentage and a warm body at rest give away the tired battery of an old five.
The screen goes black outdoors and comes back indoors, which shows the cell cannot carry the load in the cold.
Half a charge on screen, almost none a minute later; the reading collapses the moment the camera opens.
The phone heats up on the desk because a worn cell wastes energy as internal resistance.
Glass pulling away from the frame or a phone that rocks on a table means a swollen cell: stop charging.
The final amount depends on the part you pick, since an original costs more than an aftermarket cell, and the labor charge sits in the price row.

The figure is for the work alone; the part depends on your choice between original and aftermarket, so confirm it when booking.
The swap runs from inspection and a test to a charging check, and the list shows how cables are disconnected and the old cell lifted out.
We watch how the phone behaves under charge and load, to be sure the cell is really the culprit.
Two screws by the port come out, a suction cup lifts the display assembly and it swings open without a tug.
The protective bracket and display connectors are released, then power to the old battery is cut.
Adhesive strips are separated slowly, with no bending and no sharp tools, especially on swollen cells.
The chosen battery goes in, connectors are reseated and checked for a firm fit, and the case is closed.
We connect the charger, follow the rise in charge and watch the temperature before handing the phone back.
The scope is confirmed on the spot: if the drain has another cause, the technician will suggest another fix.
Price for my modelIn frost, the gap between an original and an aftermarket cell is most obvious; here is what to weigh when choosing.
With an older model experience counts for more than experiments, and here is what that means for a client who comes in Astana.
In 11 years we have opened plenty of fives and know how the adhesive, ribbon cables and connectors of these phones behave.
The warranty of up to 1 year covers the completed replacement and the power cell that was installed.
Replacements are done by experienced technicians who are used to the fragile cables of older models.
We suggest what suits winter and daily load, an original or an aftermarket cell, without any pressure.
In Astana we take phones on weekdays between 10:00 and 19:00; at weekends and on public holidays, between 11:00 and 18:00.
If the real culprit is the port or the software, not the battery, you hear it straight away and pay for no extra part.
A client from Astana complained that the phone had to be charged several times a day and would shut down in the cold. We replaced the battery, checked the capacity and charging — now the iPhone 5 holds a charge all day.
The whole journey — from message to finished phone. We give you the old part.
Book a replacementYou message us on WhatsApp with the model and what happened — we give you the price and time. Or you come in without an appointment.
We check the battery capacity and cycle count, inspect the charging port and controller: sometimes the battery isn't the culprit.
We note the model, the part (original or aftermarket), the price, the timeframe, and the warranty.
We open the factory packaging in front of you and check the number against the receipt.
We remove the old battery, install a new one and seal the case with new water-resistant adhesive.
Charging, capacity in Settings, operation under load. You take the phone, the receipt and the old battery.

iPhone 5 Battery Replacement in Astana Using a Part You Can Inspect
In Astana, iServices handles an iPhone 5 battery replacement in roughly 25 minutes, and you can wait on site while it's carried out. You choose an original battery or an aftermarket one, the part is shown in factory packaging before installation, and every job comes with a warranty up to 1 year. Data stays untouched.
Settings on the iPhone 5 offers no battery health figure at all, so an engineer estimates wear from daily behaviour and from cycle counts taken during a free check.
That health screen only appeared starting with iPhone 6, so on this model there is no percentage to consult and condition must be read from behaviour. Its iOS shows neither maximum capacity nor cycle count in Settings, while the lithium-ion cell inside loses capacity each time it is fully recharged. What the owner notices is runtime shrinking month by month, not a figure. A device that ran a full day on a single top-up now dying by mid-afternoon is the practical equivalent of a low health value on a newer model. A battery that shuts the phone down at 20-30 % under load is usually more worn than one that simply drains fast, because the voltage sags under peak current. If the symptoms match, iPhone 5 battery replacement in Astana starts with a free check that confirms the wear before any work begins.
We see four repeat symptoms on this handset — fast drain, shutdowns at a partial charge, heat during charging and sudden restarts. The first is a drop from full to empty in a few hours of light use, with no change in habits. The second is the screen going black at 20-30 % while the camera or a call is running, followed by a restart once plugged in. The third is the lower half warming noticeably more than it used to on the same charger, and the fourth is unplanned reboots or the percentage jumping from 40 % to 15 % in minutes. A swollen back, where the rear panel or screen edge lifts slightly, means the battery has physically expanded and the phone should not be powered again. Cold weather makes a worn battery sag faster, so winter shutdowns outdoors are a stronger signal than the same drain indoors.
The iPhone 5 predates the parts-linking messages of newer models, so both an original and an aftermarket battery work without warnings — the difference is in how they age.
| Option | What you get | How it ages |
|---|---|---|
| Original battery | Factory cell, exact capacity readings | Holds capacity longer |
| Aftermarket battery | Lower-cost cell, same fit | Ages faster under heavy use |
| Both options | Shown in packaging before fitting | Covered by the same warranty |
No, the iPhone 5 does not display the unknown-part message, because that check was introduced years later on the XR, XS and 11. Those newer handsets read a serial number from the battery controller and flag a mismatch in Settings under Battery, where the older model simply reports a charge level. Owners of such a device can fit either battery and see no alert on screen. The absence of a warning is not proof of quality — a cheap battery can still lose capacity quickly, so the receipt naming the exact part matters more than the screen. Ask for the part type in writing ahead of the work, and keep the paper after handover.
The whole visit is built around one idea — you see the part, the price and the warranty ahead of any screw being turned, and most of the work happens while you wait.
Indeed — 72% of repairs at our shop are completed while the customer stays in the waiting area, where coffee and Wi-Fi are available. Since a battery job runs roughly 25 minutes, most owners simply stay, answer a few messages and leave with the device in hand. The waiting area seats several people at once, and the engineer calls you over when the new battery is in and the back panel is sealed. Remaining on site has another perk: the 32-function check — about 10 minutes over network, charging, speakers, microphones and cameras — is done in front of you, so anything you want to ask about the new battery gets settled before you leave. If you cannot stay, a courier can be called and the phone returned to you. Book a morning slot on weekdays and the shop floor is quieter, which shortens the wait further.
Unlike the 4 and 4s, this model is opened from the front, and adhesive strips hold its battery in place — two details that affect the way the job is carried out.
We lift the display module first, disconnect the battery connector, then pull the adhesive strips that hold the battery in place. The display assembly on this generation is thin and clips along its edges, so it comes up slowly rather than being pried. Two pull-tabs run beneath the battery; they release it cleanly when drawn at a shallow angle, and the connector and flex cable stay attached until the strips are free. If a strip snaps, the battery has to be eased out with a thin tool and isopropyl alcohol rather than levered, which is where careless work usually damages the board. On this model the swap runs roughly 25 minutes with you waiting, and before installation we display the replacement battery still in its factory packaging.
| Generation | Opening process | Battery fixing |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 4 and 4s | Rear panel | Screwed bracket |
| iPhone 5 | Front display | Adhesive strips |
| iPhone 7 and newer | Front display | Strips plus new sealing |
Once the fresh pack is in, the phone goes through a function check and you leave with paperwork — and with the used battery in hand if you want it.
Memory is untouched by a battery replacement, so photos, messages and apps remain exactly where they were. The lithium-ion component sits on the logic board side of the chassis and carries no user data, which is why a swap is a hardware job from start to finish. We hand back the depleted unit along with the receipt and warranty card, and that retired part is the simplest way for you to confirm a new one actually went in. Coverage runs up to 1 year and applies to the installed battery, not the rest of the handset. Keep it for the first weeks: if capacity drops oddly, we compare it against the fresh one prior to opening anything.
We run a 32-function check in about 10 minutes and you go through the results with the engineer ahead of the phone leaving the bench. A USB current tester shows live draw on the charging port, so a tired Lightning connector cannot pass as a healthy charge, and the handset then registers on the carrier and holds a call to rule out antenna damage from the opening. Both microphones, the speaker and the rear camera are verified after the chassis is closed, and the warranty card and receipt leave with you. On an iPhone 5 the charging current and the network are the two results worth watching, since a tired Lightning port can mimic a failing battery.
The points below sum up what decides a good outcome on this model, from spotting wear to what comes back with the phone.

Ask a questionA worn cell holds voltage poorly under load in the cold, so the phone shuts down. Indoors the voltage recovers and the percentage returns. It is a sign the cell should be replaced.
Technically yes, but we do not advise it: the display cables are thin and tear with one clumsy move, and a swollen cell is easy to damage. It is better to leave the job to someone who does it regularly.
Usually not. The system and your data live in the phone's storage, not in the battery. Still, make an iTunes or iCloud backup beforehand as a normal precaution.
Yes: on the iPhone 5 the battery's short cable plugs into a socket on the board under a small metal bracket. If that socket is bent or corroded, even a new cell charges badly, so the engineer inspects it while the phone is open.
No, the iPhone 5 on iOS 10 has no such message: battery authenticity notices appeared only on much newer models. The engineer still shows you the part in its packaging before fitting it.
Yes, the completed work and the installed cell carry a warranty up to 1 year whether it is original or aftermarket. Ask the technician to confirm the terms when you book.
The difference is not always visible, but it can be checked. An original panel is the one the manufacturer installs; an aftermarket copy costs about 35% less.
What “maximum capacity” means, why the phone shuts down in the cold, and how long a new battery lasts.
Power it off, skip the rice, and get the board checked before corrosion starts. Here is the short version of the first 30 minutes.
Most charging faults come from the cable, the port or the battery. Here is how to find the cause and get a free check.
