iMEND Premium
Original or manufacturer-grade part
The manufacturer's own cell. On an iPhone it keeps the battery health readout working without a service notice, which is the practical difference most people notice.
€85A battery that no longer holds a day, shuts the phone down early or has started to swell, replaced and tested before it goes back in your hands.
Includes the part, fitting, testing and the 360-day warranty. VAT included, and confirmed with you before anything is opened.

The Galaxy S22+ arrived in 2022, with a 6.6 inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display and the Exynos 2200 chip. Charging is over USB-C and it unlocks with an ultrasonic fingerprint reader under the display. It is rated IP68. Flat screen, three cameras in a raised block that runs into the frame, and a glass back. The camera housing is what separates an S22 from an S23. SM-S906B is the model sold here.
A battery is the right answer most of the time, and it is worth ruling out the two things that imitate it.
If you are not sure which of these you have, that is what the free diagnostic is for. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.
Genuine Samsung service parts where they exist for the component, and premium aftermarket where they do not. You are told which one your repair uses before you agree to it, and the 360-day warranty is the same either way.
Nobody here will call a part original when it is not. If what fits your phone is premium aftermarket, you hear that word at the counter rather than reading it on a docket afterwards.
You will not find work on the bill you did not agree to. If something else shows up while the phone is open, we stop and ask rather than deciding for you.
Dublin collection and return is available on weekdays if you cannot make it in. Nothing about the price or the cover changes because the courier brought it.
On a battery the tier is not about how it looks. It is about whether the cell holds the capacity printed on it.
Original or manufacturer-grade part
The manufacturer's own cell. On an iPhone it keeps the battery health readout working without a service notice, which is the practical difference most people notice.
€85Premium aftermarket, tested to the same standard
A cell made to the original specification with cycle data behind it. We will fit this happily; what we will not fit is a cell nobody can tell us how it was stored or what it tested at.
€70The €70 on this page is our standard quote for this repair. Which tier suits your device is a conversation at the counter, and the price for each is on the table before you decide. The 360-day warranty is the same on both, because we would not offer a tier we did not think would last.
A cell sold as 3,300mAh that actually holds 2,900 shows full health on day one and falls off a cliff at eight months. That is the entire reason we are not the cheapest battery in Dublin.
Two minutes online, or straight in the door at 4 Richmond Road. The more you can say about when it started, the faster we get to the cause.
Nothing is opened or ordered until we know what failed. There is no charge for this and no obligation to go ahead afterwards.
The price is confirmed to you before anything begins, and it does not move afterwards unless you agree to something else.
Carried out here in Drumcondra rather than sent away, by people who do this repair daily.
The repaired function and the things around it are checked before we call you.
Yours again, from the counter or by courier, with 360 days of cover on the part and the work.
A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.
Checked while the phone is working, which is where a bad cell shows itself and a resting one does not.
What the device reports about the new cell, so you know before you leave rather than a week later.
A new cell that runs warm is a new cell we do not send out.
Confirmed in settings where the device reports it, so you can see the number for yourself before you leave.
We are replacing a part, not reading a phone. Your photos, messages and accounts are not something this job touches.
The one place it comes up is testing. A repair is not finished until it has been used, and using a locked device means a passcode. You are welcome to withhold it, and we will tell you which checks that leaves undone rather than quietly skipping them. A passcode you do give us lives on a paper docket that gets shredded, never in a database.
Back it up first if you can. A device that has taken a knock has had its storage shaken whether or not anything looks wrong, and a backup is free insurance against the day that matters.
Treat the device as no longer water resistant after any repair, including this one.
An IP rating is measured on a brand new, factory sealed device in a laboratory. It is a description of how that device left the factory, not a property it keeps. Heat, age and everyday knocks degrade the seal long before anybody opens it, which is why phones that have never been repaired still let water in.
Opening a device means cutting through adhesive. We refit with fresh adhesive, which gives you back a physical seal that keeps rain and splashes out. What we will not do is claim the original rating is restored, because there is no way for us or for any independent shop in Ireland to test that.
If the device lives near water, tell us when you book. It changes what we recommend and it is a two minute conversation rather than a surprise afterwards.
Every completed repair is covered for 360 days on the part and the workmanship. If the display we fitted fails, or the fitting was at fault, we put it right at no charge.
What it does not cover is a new accident. A phone dropped again after the repair, fresh physical damage, liquid damage, or a fault in a part we did not touch, all sit outside it. That is the same limit any honest repair warranty has.
No fix, no fee. The diagnostic is free, and if the repair does not happen you pay nothing.
Same repair price and the same 360-day warranty on all three. The only thing that changes is how the device travels.
€70, including the part, the fitting, the testing and the 360-day warranty. VAT is included. You get that figure confirmed before anything is opened, and if we cannot repair the phone you pay nothing.
15 to 45 minutes for most phones. If the diagnostic turns up something else, or a part has to be ordered, we tell you before you commit rather than after.
It can, and not because the battery is a speed part. Phones slow themselves down to avoid shutting off when a cell can no longer deliver peak current. Replace the cell and that throttling stops.
Treat it as urgent. Stop charging it, stop using it, and do not press on the back or try to lever the phone open. Bring it in and we will deal with it properly.
Some manufacturers pair the cell to the board and show a notice after any replacement, genuine or not. Everything works; it is a parts message. We tell you in advance if your model does it.
Yes, until it starts shutting down unexpectedly or the case stops sitting flat. Either of those is the point where it stops being a convenience question.
No. Checking is free and so is telling you it does not need replacing, which happens more often than people expect.

Recently purchased an iPhone 12 here, very impressed came with 100% battery health, very reasonable price and great service! Would recommend.
Excellent customer service bought my samsung A54 best price in dublin.
As I'm a lawyer, I need a reliable phone. For me, it's an office extension in my pocket. I decided to buy a Samsung S23 Ultra. I live in Drumcondra so being aware of their excellent reputation locally, I visited iMend last week. The manager and assistant could not have been more helpful. I bought the phone and it exceeds my expectations. On checking, the price was the lowest in Dublin. Anyone who needs a phone or a small electronic product will be well looked after by iMend. Great people to deal with!
