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.
Priced at the counterA 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 iPhone 7 Plus arrived in 2016, with a 5.5 inch Retina HD LCD display and the A10 Fusion chip. Charging is over Lightning and it unlocks with Touch ID in the home button. There is an aluminium frame, and it is rated IP67. The first iPhone with two rear cameras, an aluminium back rather than glass, and no headphone socket. The home button does not move; it is pressure sensitive. Ireland gets the A1784.
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.
Two tiers, and you choose knowing which is which: a genuine Apple service part where one is made for this component, or premium aftermarket where none is. The warranty is 360 days on either.
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.
No additional paid work happens without your approval. If the diagnostic finds something behind the part we are replacing, we stop, explain it and confirm the cost first.
If getting here is the problem, we collect and return across Dublin from Monday to Friday. It costs the same repair price and carries the same 360-day warranty.
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.
Priced at the counterPremium 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.
Priced at the counterThe €60 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.
Walk in during opening hours or book ahead, whichever suits. Tell us what the device is actually doing rather than what you think the fix is.
Nothing is opened or ordered until we know what failed. There is no charge for this and no obligation to go ahead afterwards.
You get the exact figure before any work starts. Nothing else happens without asking you first.
Done at our Drumcondra bench by the technicians who do this every day.
The repaired function and the things around it are checked before we call you.
Pick it up from Richmond Road or have it couriered back across Dublin. Either way it carries the 360-day warranty.
A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.
Felt and measured while charging. A battery that runs hot from day one is going back out.
Measured with the phone working rather than idle, because that is where a weak cell shows itself.
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.
This is hardware work. We do not need to go into your photos, messages or accounts to do it, and we do not.
We do need to switch the device on and use it to test the repair, so we may ask for your passcode. If you would rather not hand it over, tell us and we will show you what we cannot verify without it. Any passcode you give us goes on the paper docket and the docket gets shredded. It is never stored in our system.
Back the device up before any repair. Not because we expect to lose anything, but because a device that has already been dropped is one whose storage has already been shaken, and a backup costs nothing.
After any repair, ours included, work on the assumption that the device is no longer water resistant.
The rating on the box was measured once, on a sealed unit, in controlled conditions. It was never a promise about the device three years later. Adhesive hardens, seals compress and a single drop can break the seal without leaving a mark you would notice.
We reseal with fresh adhesive and it does a real job: rain, splashes and a wet counter are all fine. A submerged phone is not, and we would rather say that plainly than let you find out.
If yours goes near water regularly, say so at the counter and we will tell you what the adhesive covers and what it does not.
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.
€60, 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.
Rarely, for a battery. A battery is the cheapest repair that makes an old phone feel new, and on most models it costs a fraction of a replacement handset. If we think you would be throwing good money after bad we will say so.
Two to three years of normal use before it is noticeably worse. Apple and most Android makers rate a cell to hold around eighty percent of its capacity after several hundred full charge cycles, and Irish weather and fast charging both take their toll.
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.
