Is it worth replacing the battery on a Lenovo IdeaPad 3/5?

For many IdeaPad 3/5 owners, battery replacement is worth it if the laptop still meets your needs. If performance is fine and only runtime is poor, replacing the battery is usually the most cost-effective fix.

Worth replacing when…

• Battery life dropped sharply over time.
• Percentage jumps or the laptop shuts down unexpectedly.
• Charging is extremely slow and you’ve confirmed the correct charger.

Check for Lenovo Vantage charging limits

If charging stops at 60–80%, check conservation mode in Lenovo Vantage first.
