Pixel 4a Battery Performance Program

What’s Covered

Google’s Pixel 4a Battery Performance Program addresses reports of accelerated battery degradation on some Pixel 4a devices. If your phone meets the program’s criteria, you can choose from one of three “appeasement” options:

1. Free Battery Replacement

2. $50 USD Payment (converted to your local currency)

3. $100 USD Google Hardware Discount Code (applies toward purchasing a new Pixel on the Google Store, where available)

How to Check Eligibility

1. Visit the Pixel 4a Battery Performance Program page:
   https://support.google.com/pixelphone?p=pixel4a_battery_help

2. Sign in with your Google Account.

3. Enter your Pixel 4a’s IMEI/Serial number and follow the prompts.

4. If your device qualifies, Google will email you with instructions on how to proceed:

   • For a free battery replacement, you’ll receive a shipping label or instructions to book a walk-in repair (depending on region).

   • For a cash payment or hardware discount, you’ll be asked to confirm your mailing address or email to receive a voucher or direct deposit instructions.

Note: Eligibility is subject to verification of your device’s serial number and battery health status. If Google determines your battery degradation falls within the program’s parameters, you can select the compensation option that works best for you.
