The battery is one of the most vulnerable parts of a Xiaomi smartphone, especially if the device is older than 2-3 years. Over time, the battery capacity decreases, the phone runs out in a few hours, and sometimes even refuses to turn on. In such cases, replacing the battery becomes not a luxury, but a necessity. But how much will it cost? The answer depends on the phone model, the type of battery (original or analogue) and where you buy it.

Second, the type of battery is original or unoriginal. Third, the place of purchase: in official service centers, the price is higher than on AliExpress or in small workshops.

The price is also affected by the availability of additional features such as fast charging or wireless charging support (for example, in the Xiaomi 13T or Mix Fold 3 models).

- 🌍 Online stores (e.g. Beru, Ozon, Wildberries) are convenient, but prices are higher than on AliExpress.
