About this service
We replace the worn battery in your Nintendo Switch (V1/V2, Lite or OLED) so it holds charge and lasts longer between charges.
What is covered: the replacement battery and labour, backed by our 3 month warranty.
Not covered: battery drain caused by a separate fault, water or physical damage, and unrelated faults.
When handheld time drops off a cliff
Batteries age with every charge cycle. A Switch that once managed hours now dying in one, shutting down at 30 percent, or refusing to run undocked at all is showing classic battery wear. Replacement restores proper handheld life.
The battery is glued into the console and connected under shielding, so replacement involves a careful teardown rather than a snap-in swap. We fit a new cell, verify charging behaviour and calibrate before it goes home.
Made to order, Perth or by post
Batteries are ordered fresh per job. Book and pay online, we order your cell, and you drop off or post in once confirmed, from anywhere in Australia. Note that parcels containing lithium batteries must travel by road with Australia Post, which can add a few days for eastern states. It all still arrives tracked.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a Switch battery replacement cost?
$100 for the original, V2 and Lite models and $120 for the OLED, including the battery, fitting and calibration.
How long should a Switch battery last after replacement?
Expect factory-spec handheld time again: roughly 4.5 to 9 hours on the newer standard model depending on the game, and similar relative gains for the Lite and OLED.
Is it safe to post a console with a battery in it?
Yes. Devices with installed lithium batteries are accepted by Australia Post under their dangerous goods rules. They simply travel by road. Pack it switched off and well padded.
