How It Works

Simple. Transparent. Fast.

Bring It In

Walk in or book online. We check your battery health and give you an honest assessment.

Battery Test

We run diagnostics to confirm the battery is the issue — not a charging circuit or power adapter problem.

Same-Day Swap

We source the right replacement, install it, and calibrate it for maximum lifespan.

Health Verification

We confirm full charge capacity, proper charging, and correct cycle count before handoff.

Every Battery Problem, Solved

Whether your laptop dies in 30 minutes, shows "plugged in not charging," has a visibly swollen battery pushing the trackpad up, or just won't hold any charge at all — we fix it. We replace batteries daily across Dell, HP, Lenovo, Asus, Acer, Apple MacBook, MSI, Samsung, Toshiba, and Microsoft Surface.

Swollen Batteries Are Urgent

If the bottom of your laptop is bulging, the trackpad feels stiff, or the case is separating — that's a swollen battery. It's a safety hazard. Stop using the laptop and bring it in. We safely remove the swollen cell, dispose of it properly, and install a fresh replacement. Don't ignore this one.

MacBook Battery Service

Apple charges $129-$249 for battery service and you lose your laptop for days. We do MacBook battery replacements same-day at competitive pricing. MacBook Air, MacBook Pro 13"/14"/15"/16", including Retina and M-series. The glued-in batteries on newer MacBooks require careful technique — our techs do this daily.

Not Just the Battery

Sometimes the problem isn't the battery itself. A failing DC jack, damaged charging cable, or faulty power management chip on the motherboard can all mimic a bad battery. We diagnose the root cause before replacing anything — so you don't pay for a battery when the real issue is a $20 cable.

Proper Disposal

Lithium-ion batteries can't go in the trash. We properly recycle every battery we remove through certified e-waste channels. You get a new battery, and the old one is handled responsibly.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much does laptop battery replacement cost in Reno?+

Labor is $89/hr and takes about 30-60 minutes for most models. Replacement batteries range from $40-$120 for PC laptops and $80-$200 for MacBooks. You get the full cost upfront before we start.

How do I know if my laptop battery needs replacing?+

Common signs: laptop dies within 1-2 hours unplugged, battery percentage drops rapidly, the bottom of the laptop feels warm or bulging, Windows shows "plugged in, not charging", or macOS shows "Service Recommended" in battery settings.

Is a swollen battery dangerous?+

Yes. A swollen battery can crack the trackpad, warp the case, and in rare cases cause a fire. If your battery looks puffy or the laptop case is separating, stop using it and bring it in immediately. We safely remove and dispose of swollen batteries.

Do you replace MacBook batteries?+

Yes. We replace batteries on MacBook Air (all generations), MacBook Pro 13", 14", 15", and 16" (including M-series). MacBook batteries require careful disassembly but we do it daily.

How long does a new laptop battery last?+

A quality replacement battery should give you 3-5 years or 300-500 charge cycles of normal use. We use quality cells — not the cheapest options that degrade within a year.

Can you fix a laptop that only works plugged in?+

Usually yes. This is either a dead battery (simple replacement) or a charging circuit issue on the motherboard (more involved repair). We diagnose which one it is before quoting you.

Is a laptop battery replacement worth it, or should I sell the laptop?+

Battery replacement usually makes sense: it costs $60–$120 at $89/hr labor plus the battery, and it can add $150–$300 to your laptop's resale value or give it 2–3 more years of useful life. However, if your laptop is over 6 years old or has other issues, selling it as-is often nets more. Walk in and we'll check both scenarios for you — takes 10 minutes.
