Realme 5s Battery Replacement - CAT 5000mAh (BLP729)

If your Realme 5s is experiencing reduced battery life after daily use, you're not alone. After a year or so of daily use, the original battery starts showing its age - you've probably noticed it doesn't last like it used to. This CAT 5000mAh BLP729 replacement brings your phone back to how it performed when new. No more battery anxiety halfway through the day.

This battery includes protection against overcharging, overheating, and short circuits. It's CE certified, which matters especially for Realme 5s's standard smartphone features that can put extra strain on cheaper batteries. You won't deal with swelling or the safety issues that come with uncertified replacements.

With Realme 5s's IPS LCD screen and MediaTek Helio P35, you're looking at about 7 hours of mixed use - scrolling social media, messaging, watching videos, taking photos. That's similar to what you got when your Realme 5s was new, before the battery started losing capacity.

The BLP729 connector fits Realme 5s's power system correctly, so you'll get accurate battery percentage readings - no more random jumps or unexpected shutdowns at 20%. It works properly with Realme 5s's standard smartphone features too, maintaining stable power throughout the day.

The cells are rated for 500+ charges - that's roughly 18 months to two years of daily charging. Budget batteries using recycled cells? They typically start failing around 8-10 months. The math matters when you're looking at total cost.

Installation is moderately tricky. Realme 5s's back panel is glued down, so you'll need to heat it up and carefully pry it off, then disconnect the battery connector. Takes about half an hour if you know what you're doing. Professional installation is probably worth it if you're not comfortable opening up phones - there are some delicate cables inside Realme 5s that can be damaged if you're not careful.

Why Batteries Fail

Battery drain speeds up because of internal resistance. As cells age, chemical reactions build up resistance inside, which forces Realme 5s's system to pull more power to maintain voltage. That's why your battery drains faster even when you're doing the same things you've always done. A fresh 5000mAh battery with low internal resistance fixes this - normal discharge rates return.

Common Questions

Is this compatible with my Realme 5s?
