Signs You Need A Replacement
Depending on your brand, you may be able to use the laptop's own diagnostic tool. For instance, on HP laptops, you can press the F2 key when you first turn it on to access a battery test. Dell has a similar option when you press F12.
If you cannot access these, look out for these tell-tale signs of a failing battery:
Don't Risk A DIY Disaster
Many online parts suppliers will try to sell you a cheap replacement battery to fit yourself. This is highly dangerous for modern laptops.
Unlike older models where the battery clicked out of the back, modern MacBooks, HP Envys, and Dell XPS laptops feature batteries that are heavily glued directly to the chassis underneath delicate logic boards and ribbon cables.
Puncturing a glued-in lithium-ion battery with a pry tool can cause an immediate, highly toxic chemical fire.
From just £90, leave the hazardous removal, specialised adhesive solvents, and safe disposal to our qualified lab technicians.
Are Replacement Batteries As Good As The Original?
It entirely depends on where you buy. You may see a cheap laptop battery replacement online and question why professional services cost more. The reason for the massive price difference is that they are not all the same, even if the outer plastic looks identical.
The Danger of Cheap Batteries
The disadvantage of using cheaper parts is that the batteries often contain second-user, depleted cells that have been programmed to show a "0 cycle count" as new. These won't hold a charge for long. Even worse, low-quality counterfeit cells pose a severe fire risk. Lithium batteries are not cheap to produce; if you see a bargain online, you must question why.
The Atlantis Standard
We only ever use original or premium-grade compatible batteries from recognised brands. Our batteries utilise highly stable internal cells from trusted companies such as Samsung. Every battery we install complies with strict European safety standards and includes a comprehensive one-year warranty as standard.
Process & Protection
Whatever brand or model you have, we are here to help. When you send us your laptop, you are trusting us with your data and your hardware. Our technicians follow strict electrostatic discharge (ESD) protocols when removing swollen or glued-in batteries to ensure the safety of your motherboard and hard drive.
If we inspect your laptop and find that a battery replacement is not viable or there is a deeper motherboard fault preventing charging, we will call you immediately. If the machine cannot be repaired economically, there is only a £15 inspection fee. Honesty is our first priority.

Q&A
How much does a laptop battery replacement cost in the UK?
For standard Windows and Chromebook laptops (such as HP, Dell, Acer, and Lenovo), professional battery replacement services start from £90 depending on the specific model. Apple MacBook battery replacements are a fixed price of £150 across all models.
My laptop battery is bloated and lifting the trackpad. Is this safe?
No. A bloated battery means the internal lithium-ion cells have degraded and are off-gassing toxic fumes, causing the casing to swell. It is a severe fire hazard. Unplug the laptop immediately, stop using it, and send it to us for a safe removal and replacement.
Can I just buy a cheap battery online and fit it myself?
We highly advise against this. Modern laptop batteries are often heavily glued to the chassis. Using pry tools to remove them can easily puncture the battery, resulting in an immediate chemical fire. Furthermore, extremely cheap online batteries often contain fake or degraded cells. Our service ensures safe fitting and includes a 1-year warranty using premium Samsung-grade cells.
Do you offer a warranty on the new battery?
Yes, all of our replacement batteries, whether for a standard Windows laptop or an Apple MacBook, include a comprehensive one-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
