Samsung Galaxy A52: Battery drains quickly
This analysis was prepared with AI assistance using device details and researched sources. Despite careful preparation, some information may be incomplete or incorrect. Method and limitations
The specific problem
Battery drains quickly
A Samsung Galaxy A52 has a weak or aged battery. In the available material, battery replacement is described as feasible but moderately difficult because the back cover and battery are glued. After opening, the original water and dust resistance cannot be reliably restored.
Suitable replacement part
EB-BG781ABY remains a merchant-supplied lead for a weak Samsung Galaxy A52 battery, not a manufacturer approval established here. Samsung distinguishes A52, A52 5G and A52s 5G. Confirm the model and battery match before professional replacement.
When professional service is needed
A normally aged, non-swollen smartphone battery can be replaced by experienced people with suitable tools. In case of swelling, odor, heat development, liquid damage or deformation, the device should no longer be used and should be professionally repaired or disposed of.
- Lithium-ion battery can catch fire or vent gas if punctured, bent, overheated or short-circuited.
- A swollen battery is a safety risk and should not be removed by laypeople.
- When heating the back cover, plastic parts, the display or the battery can be damaged.
- After opening, the original water/dust resistance cannot be reliably restored.
If the device is swollen, hot, damaged or wet, a specialist workshop or Samsung Service should be used. Lithium-ion batteries can catch fire or vent gas if punctured, bent, overheated or short-circuited. A swollen battery is a safety risk and should not be removed by laypeople.
Replacement part and compatibility
Samsung lists A52 as SM-A525, A52 5G as SM-A526 and A52s 5G as SM-A528. This identifies model families, not batteries. The reviewed material includes a merchant match for EB-BG781ABY but no official parts-catalogue confirmation for the specific device. Unverified alternative order numbers are not treated as equivalent.

Important cautions
- Do not buy before the exact model number has been checked; “Samsung A52” can mean A52 4G, A52 5G or A52s.
- If the device is swollen, hot, damaged or wet: do not charge, do not press, do not open it yourself.
- After a DIY repair, the IP rating/sealing is practically not reliably guaranteed.
- Do not throw the old battery into household waste; in Germany, dispose of it via a collection point, recycling center or retailer take-back.

What the source check establishes
Samsung’s official table establishes separate SM-A525, SM-A526 and SM-A528 families. It does not approve battery EB-BG781ABY; a Samsung Members post would not constitute manufacturer approval either.
