why would they replace for no reason? there must be some reason for them to replace.went there last friday to enquire about battery replacement for my 11 pro max which is under warranty.
was also advised by them only <80% or below / dianogstic showing issues before we can replace for free.
i'm wondering anyone got it replace without meeting the 2 criteria above? assuming, you find that your battery health is degrading normal than usual (i.e hot when using certain apps) and diagnostics found to have no issue.
It is normal for batteries to heat up when it is getting charged or discharged (when pulling power rapidly over a sustained period of time). When it comes to free replacement/ service, it is unlikely you can circumvent their rules/ conditions. Battery drain issues may arise from firmware/ software, and not hardware. So even if you replace the battery, it may not help in the longer term.went there last friday to enquire about battery replacement for my 11 pro max which is under warranty.

isn't a certainty that it will drop to 80% by then to get free replacement.Mine is 88% but I got AC+ so I definitely will get a battery swop before warranty ends
Based on my usage pattern over the years, I always get a free replacement by 2nd year.isn't a certainty that it will drop to 80% by then to get free replacement.
