Smartphone batteries naturally degrade over time, which often leads people to consider buying a completely new device. However, simply replacing the aging battery is a practical way to extend a phone’s lifespan. Recognizing this, Xiaomi has announced its May Service Week in China, running until May 7th, offering battery replacements at a noticeable discount.
During this event, the cost for a new battery starts at 47.2 yuan (roughly $7), which includes a 20% discount. What makes this program particularly useful is the wide range of supported devices. The promotion covers 67 different models across several generations.
Eligible smartphones include older devices, such as the Xiaomi 10 Pro, along with models from the Xiaomi 11, 12, 13, 14, and the newly released Xiaomi 15 series. It also covers the Mix series, including the Mix 4, Mix Fold models, and Mix Flip and key Redmi lineups.
This includes the Redmi Note series (such as the Redmi Note 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 series), the performance-oriented Redmi K series (K40, K50, K60, and K70 series), and the Redmi Turbo series. Additionally, models from the broader Redmi number series, such as the Redmi 14C, are included.
Xiaomi regularly hosts these service weeks throughout the year in China, and they have become a popular initiative. It provides users with an affordable maintenance option, helping to keep functional hardware in use rather than requiring an expensive upgrade.
Alongside the promotion, Xiaomi shared some straightforward advice regarding battery health. The company clarified that normal battery degradation, where a battery gradually holds less charge after hundreds of cycles, is expected behavior. They said that users shouldn’t worry too much about normal wear and should simply consider a replacement when the battery no longer meets their daily routine.
However, Xiaomi also pointed out that abnormal degradation caused by physical impact, extreme temperatures, or poor charging habits should be addressed promptly. To help batteries last longer, the company recommends avoiding extreme heat or cold and maintaining standard charging routines.
