When an iPhone battery is worn out
- Battery Health below 80 % (Settings › Battery › Battery Health & Charging)
- “Service” or “Significant degradation” message
- The phone turns off at 15–30 %
- It gets hot or the screen is lifting — a swollen battery: stop charging it
How it works
- Message us on WhatsApp with your phone model and what happened (a photo helps).
- We reply with the price and the repair time before anyone opens the phone.
- We agree on a pick-up point: your hotel, your condo gate or a spot in Alajuela.
- The phone is tested in front of you and the warranty is given in writing.
The “unknown part” message
On iPhone XS and newer, iOS shows that the battery is not a genuine Apple part and may hide the Battery Health percentage. The battery works normally. We tell you this before the repair so you decide with all the information.
Heat and roaming drain batteries faster in Costa Rica — maps all day, hotspot, photos at the beach. If your battery is still healthy, we will tell you which settings to change instead of selling you a part.
Orientative prices
- iPhone battery: ₡20.000 – ₡38.000

Parts, warranty and diagnosis
About replacement parts
No replacement part sold in Costa Rica is 100 % original — not even for iPhone. Every part comes from factories in China. What changes is the quality, and we tell you which grades exist for your model, and what each costs, before the repair.
- Standard. The budget option. On phones that came with an OLED or AMOLED screen it is usually an LCD (incell) panel: it works fine but looks a little duller and uses a bit more battery.
- Premium. A good-factory OLED or AMOLED screen, or a battery with the same or higher capacity than stock. Colors, brightness and battery life very close to what the phone came with.
- Original-grade. The best quality that reaches Costa Rica: by eye and touch it is hard to tell apart from the factory part. It still comes from China and is not an Apple, Samsung or Xiaomi part. Not available for every model.
- Free diagnosis, no obligation to repair.
- Screens and batteries: 1-month written warranty on the part and the labor. It does not cover new drops, liquids or third-party opening.
- Water-damaged phones: we clean the board and do our best, but there is no guarantee the phone will fully recover.
- Back up your phone before handing it over. Screen, battery and port repairs do not touch your data.
- Mangocel is an independent repair service, not an Apple or Samsung authorized provider.
Frequently asked questions
How long does an iPhone battery replacement take?
About an hour with the battery in stock. We test charging and the battery reading before you pick it up.
Do I lose my data?
No. A battery replacement does not touch your photos or apps. A recent iCloud backup is still a good idea.
