Your iPhone 5 battery no longer lasts a day — we'll replace it in 25 minutes and return the old one with a receipt.
A phone that shuts off with charge left, fades before lunch, runs hot and swells: this is how an old battery shows its age.
The screen shows a third of the charge, then goes black and asks for a charger within a minute.
A phone that once lasted all day now runs low by midday, even with light use and few apps.
The screen lifts at the edges or the phone rocks on a table, which means the cell is swelling.
The case gets noticeably warm on the charger and the percentage rises slowly or jumps around.
The price depends on whether you choose an original or an aftermarket cell, while the labor charge is shown in the price list.

The price covers the work and depends on the part chosen; confirm the total with the technician when booking.
From the check before the swap to a test charge: this is the path a phone follows when its battery is replaced here.
We confirm the battery is the culprit and not the charging port, the software or a heavy background app.
Bottom screws come out, the display assembly is lifted carefully and its ribbon cables are disconnected.
The worn battery is released without stressing the board; a swollen cell is never bent or punctured.
The chosen battery is connected and secured, and the connector is checked for a flat, firm seat.
We plug in a cable, watch how the percentage climbs and make sure the case does not overheat.
The work and the installed battery carry a warranty up to 1 year, like every repair at iServices.
Scope can change: if something else drains the phone, the technician will say so right away.
Price for my modelAn original cell is closer to factory capacity, while an aftermarket one saves money; the right pick depends on how you use the phone.
This model left production long ago while our technicians still know its insides, which is why it is worth bringing here.
We have repaired devices for 11 years, so the ribbon cables and adhesive under the iPhone 5 battery are well known to us.
The warranty up to 1 year covers the installed battery and the work done on your phone.
Batteries are handled by experienced technicians, because swollen or damaged cells demand care and experience.
If the drain comes from something other than the battery, we say so and do not swap a part you do not need.
In Almaty we receive phones Monday to Friday 10:00–19:00, and on weekends and holidays 11:00–18:00.
We explain original versus aftermarket in plain words and leave the choice to you, since each fits a different need.
The client noticed the screen was popping out of the case. We replaced the swollen battery, checked the new one’s capacity and charging — the phone is working properly again.
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 Almaty with a Part You Choose
iServices replaces the iPhone 5 battery in Almaty in about 25 minutes while you wait; the warranty is up to 1 year and is fixed on the receipt. You choose an original or aftermarket part, and the engineer shows the sealed battery before fitting it. Free diagnostics come first.
The iPhone 5 has no Battery Health menu, so wear shows through behaviour — how fast it drains, whether it dies at 20–30 %, and how warm it gets during a charge.
The Battery Health menu arrived with iPhone 6, so this generation gives you no percentage to judge — you read the pack by how the phone behaves instead. Maximum capacity, cycle count and the service recommendation live in that settings screen on newer models; on this model the lithium-ion cell reports nothing to the user, and no third-party app can pull a true wear figure from the hardware either. What you can measure is runtime under a known load: a full charge, airplane mode off, screen at half brightness, one hour of video. Repeat the test on two consecutive days and compare the drop. A battery that still holds a full day on light use is fine even on an old handset; judge by the worst day, not the best.
On the iPhone 5 the choice matters less than on newer models, because the system does not tie the battery to the handset. The two options still differ in behaviour and lifespan.
| Option | What you get | Best for | Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original | Factory part, matches original behaviour | Keeping the handset as a daily driver | Up to 1 year |
| Aftermarket | Compatible part, lower entry point | A spare or backup handset | 6 months |
| Battery controller | Checked on the bench before closing | Both options | Up to 1 year original, 6 months aftermarket |
The «Important Battery Message» appears only on iPhone XR, XS and 11, so an iPhone 5 shows no warning after an aftermarket battery. Apple introduced the notice with those models, where the controller reports a serial number the system recognises. The iPhone 5 has no such handshake between the part and the logic board, and its management chip stores nothing that iOS would flag. That is why a compatible battery in this model behaves exactly like a factory one on screen — no banner, no «Unknown Part» line in settings, no limited-function note. We still test the new part on the bench before closing the device. That freedom makes an older handset a low-risk candidate for a cheaper option — nothing in the system will nag you afterwards, and the saved difference is better spent on a spare charger.
The whole visit usually fits into an hour, and most of that is the engineer's work rather than waiting — here is what happens from your first message to pickup.
An engineer replies on WhatsApp within 5 minutes and quotes a price from a photo, then fixes the component, turnaround and warranty on the receipt before work starts. We confirm whether you want an original or aftermarket unit, and the fresh one is shown in its factory packaging before installation. Free diagnostics take 15 minutes in front of you: the engineer opens the device, demonstrates what is worn, and you decide on the spot, even if the answer is no repair. Writing the terms down takes about 2 minutes. Getting everything on paper first is what protects you if the handset turns out to need more than a battery — nothing is added without your agreement.
We replace an iPhone 5 battery in about 25 minutes, and 72% of our jobs finish while the customer waits in the waiting area with coffee and Wi-Fi. The task means peeling the display module off its adhesive strips, lifting out the old unit and seating the fresh one before the panel goes back. You can watch the sealed component being opened, then test the handset yourself with a USB current tester the moment it is back together. A courier across the city takes 90 minutes and comes free with a repair, so the iPhone 5 battery replacement Almaty customers book often happens without leaving home.
The iPhone 5 opens from the front, unlike the iPhone 4, and its battery sits on adhesive strips — small details that change how the job is done.
On this model the display is lifted from the front to reach the battery, which is held down by pull-tab adhesive strips. A suction cup and thin mediators release the front panel first, and only then does the battery connector and its flex cable come into view. The cell itself rests on two stretch-release strips that run under the lower edge. Those strips stretch and snap if pulled at the wrong angle, so a technician who has done the model before avoids prying the cell out with a lever. A snapped strip turns a 25-minute job into a careful scrape around a glued-down battery, and the soft aluminium housing dents easily under a metal tool. Ask whether the workshop releases the strips by hand before agreeing to the work.
| Model | How it opens | Battery fixing | Health menu |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 4 / 4s | Rear panel | Adhesive | No |
| iPhone 5 / 5c / 5s | Front display | Pull-tab strips | No |
| iPhone 6 and newer | Front display | Adhesive strips | Yes |
A new pack changes how the phone runs, but a few things are worth knowing about your data, the checks we make, and how to make the battery last.
Replacing the battery does not touch your data, and after the repair we check 32 functions in about 10 minutes together with you. The battery sits on its own connector, so photos, messages and app logins stay exactly where they were — no backup or restore is needed. The list covers both cameras, microphones, speakers, network and the rest of the set. We run it in front of you, and you confirm each item with the engineer before the phone leaves the bench. The test matters most on the power circuit — a pack that reads fine can still hide a tired port, which shows up only under load. Ask for the port to be tested with the adapter plugged in, not on the pack alone.
A worn iPhone 5 battery shows itself through behaviour, not numbers, and the replacement itself is a short, predictable job when the terms are clear from the start.

Ask a questionIt is better not to charge it or carry it in a pocket. A swollen cell can deform the case and get hot. Unplug it and show the phone to a technician as soon as possible.
If the phone shuts off with charge left, the battery is the usual suspect. If charging comes and goes depending on the cable angle, the port is more likely. A check at the service confirms which it is.
Yes, the iPhone 5 opens from the front: after two screws next to the Lightning port are removed, the display is raised and the battery lies underneath. That is why the engineer disconnects the display cables first and checks the screen and the Home button after assembly.
For a phone that sits in a drawer as a backup or plays music in the car, a compatible cell is a reasonable saving. If the iPhone 5 is your only phone, an original part keeps its capacity longer.
No, the iPhone 5 already sits on its final version, iOS 10, so there is nothing to install. The new cell works with the system you have.
For the first few days the readings may be off while the system adjusts to the new cell. Charge the phone as usual. If the jumps continue, come back within the warranty.
With calls, messages and music, a fresh cell usually lasts from morning to evening. Navigation, video and a weak signal drain it noticeably faster.
Батарея на айфоне совсем износилась, телефон выключался на холоде даже при тридцати процентах заряда. Заменили аккумулятор на новый оригинальный буквально за полчаса. Теперь заряд держит отлично весь день, очень доволен.
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 in Almaty.
