Apple watches are a luxury to afford. They come with most of the best components. In this article, we’re most concerned about the battery of Apple watches.
Apple watches come with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. These batteries are able to charge at a very fast and steady rate. They also last longer than most battery technologies available in the market. More also, they have a higher power density that gives the battery long battery life.
The reason I think Apple chose this kind of battery technology for the Apple watch was mainly the lightweight package. Imagine a higher battery in the Apple watch, people will suffer wrist pains from wearing those watches.
Even though these batteries are super powerful, they have consumable components that will become less effective as the battery chemically ages. The more it charges and discharges, the closer it gets its’ lifespan.
As lovely as using this battery is in the first few years of its’ life, there would also come a time that you will be frustrated by its’ performance.
When that stage comes, you will be willing to change the battery so you can enjoy your device’s performance again. The actual question you will certainly ask yourself is, “Can you replace a battery in an Apple Watch?”
Can you replace a battery in an Apple Watch?
Most certainly yes, you can replace a battery in an Apple watch. All you need is to know how to do so. Apple seals all their devices to prevent water damage so it may be a tricky affair for an untrained person to carry out the replacement process.
Apple offers a battery replacement service which may cost $79 if you’re out of warranty and do not have Apple care+. With a warranty or Apple care+, you can get a battery replacement for free from Apple.
I personally recommend sending your watch to a trained professional for your battery replacement but if you’re adventurous like me, go ahead and carry it out on your own.
