Why does my Samsung S22 5G drain battery so quickly?

Why does my Samsung S22 5G run out of battery so quickly?

Hello! ? If you?ve reached here, it?s very likely that you?re noticing your brand-new Samsung Galaxy S22 5G isn?t lasting as long as it did on the first day. Don?t worry, this is completely normal. Mobile batteries are consumable components, and over time their capacity to retain charge diminishes. At iLevante.com, we not only offer you the highest quality replacement parts, but we also want to provide you with all the information you need to make the best decision possible.

In this article, we?ll break down everything you need to know about your S22?s battery: from its lifespan and technical specifications to a detailed guide so you can change it yourself. Let?s get started!

? A comprehensive look at the Samsung Galaxy S22 5G battery

To begin with, it?s essential to know what we?re dealing with. The Samsung Galaxy S22 5G is a powerful and compact device, but that power requires a reliable energy source. Knowing the specifications of the original battery will help you understand its performance and choose the best replacement.

Original S22 battery specifications

Samsung equipped the Galaxy S22 5G with a Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery designed to bring a balance between size and autonomy. Here are its technical specifications:

• Model/Reference: EB-BS901ABY
• Capacity: 3700 mAh (milliampere-hour)
• Typical Voltage: 3.88V
• Type: Li-Ion, non-removable
• Compatible References: GH82-27494A

How long does the battery last? Real autonomy

This is the million-dollar question. Battery life always depends on how you use the device. It?s not the same to use your phone for 4K video playback and gaming as it is to send messages and occasionally check emails.

• Heavy usage: If you?re a heavy user playing games, recording videos, using GPS, and running multiple apps, you?ll probably need to recharge before the day ends. Under these conditions, screen-on time usually ranges around 4?5 hours. Many users report feeling ?battery anxiety,? hunting for an outlet by midafternoon.
• Moderate or light usage: For lighter users (social media, a few calls, music, and occasional web browsing), the S22 battery might make it through the day, exceeding 6?7 hours of screen time. However, even with light use, it?s rare for it to last more than a full day.

How often should you replace the battery?

Generally, a smartphone battery such as the one on the S22 is designed to retain about 80% of its original capacity after around 500 full charge cycles. For the average user, this translates to approximately two years of use. After this point, you?ll likely notice significant degradation, requiring more frequent charging. If your phone can no longer keep up, it?s time for a change!

? Step-by-step guide: How to replace the Samsung Galaxy S22 5G battery

Ready to do it yourself? Great! Replacing the battery isn?t impossible, but it does require patience, the right tools, and a lot of care. Below, we guide you through the process.

Tools needed for the repair

Before starting, make sure you have everything you need. At iLevante.com, you can find complete tool kits.

• Heat gun or iOpener: To soften the adhesive on the back cover. A low-power hairdryer can work as a household alternative.
• Suction cup: To lift the back cover.
• Plastic picks (such as iFlex): To cut through the adhesive and separate components without scratching.
• Phillips screwdriver #000: To remove internal screws.
• Plastic spudger: To disconnect flexible cables and other delicate components.
• Tweezers: To handle screws and small parts.
• Isopropyl alcohol and a dropper or syringe: To soften the adhesive holding the battery.
• Replacement adhesive: To reseal the back cover and battery.

Steps to replace the battery

Important notice: This process involves risks. Proceed at your own responsibility. If you?re not confident, go to a professional. Discharge the battery below 25% before starting to reduce fire risks in case of puncture.

1. Turn off the phone: Absolutely essential.
2. Heat the back cover: Use the heat gun or hairdryer to evenly heat the edges of the back cover. This will soften the adhesive holding it in place. Avoid applying too much heat in one spot.
3. Lift the back cover: Place the suction cup near one of the edges and gently pull up until you create a small gap. Insert a plastic pick into this gap.
4. Cut the adhesive: Slide the pick around the phone?s perimeter to cut through the glue. Be mindful of flexible cables. Once cut, you should be able to lift the cover.
5. Remove the screws: You?ll see a protective cover over the motherboard. Use the Phillips screwdriver to remove all screws securing it.
6. Disconnect the battery: Remove the protective cover. Locate the battery connector on the motherboard and carefully disconnect it using the plastic spudger.
7. Remove the old battery: This is the most delicate part! The battery is secured with strong adhesive. Apply a few drops of isopropyl alcohol around the battery edges and wait a few minutes for the adhesive to loosen. Using a wide plastic spudger or an old credit card, gently pry the battery up. NEVER use metal tools or puncture the battery!
8. Install the new battery: Place the new iLevante battery in position, reconnect the flex to the motherboard, and reattach the protective cover and screws.
9. Seal the phone: Clean the old adhesive remnants and apply the new adhesive to the frame before putting the back cover on. Press firmly for a few seconds.

? Battery charging issues? How to tell if the charging port is faulty

Sometimes the issue isn?t with the battery but with the USB-C port. If your S22 doesn?t charge, charges slowly, or the cable connection is unstable, it could be a port problem.

1. First clean: Dust and lint commonly accumulate in the port. Use a thin wooden or plastic pick (never metal) or compressed air to clean it carefully.
2. Try a different cable and charger: Make sure the issue isn?t with the cable or USB charger. Test another set you know works.
3. Check the connection: If the cable ?wiggles? or doesn?t sit firmly, the port might be internally damaged.
   1. Disassemble the lower speaker, usually secured with multiple Phillips screws.
   2. Disconnect the antenna coaxial cables and the main flex connecting the charging board to the motherboard.
   3. Remove the screws securing the charging port board and replace it with the new one from iLevante.
   4. Reassemble everything in reverse order.
   • Damaging the back cover: It?s glass and can break if you apply excessive force or heat. Prevention: Heat evenly and be patient. Use multiple thin picks.
   • Puncturing the battery: This is the greatest risk. A punctured lithium battery can catch fire. Prevention: Use only plastic tools to pry and soften the adhesive with isopropyl alcohol.
   • Breaking a flex cable: These are extremely delicate. Prevention: Always disconnect them with a plastic spudger and never pull on them.
   • Losing screws: They?re tiny. Prevention: Use a magnetic mat or organizer to keep them in order.
