The following are some detailed methods and indicators to determine whether a battery needs to be replaced:
Significantly decreased battery life:
If you notice a significant reduction in the usage time of your device, such as a phone that originally could last a whole day on a full charge but now only lasts for a few hours, this may be a sign of battery performance degradation. For example, a laptop's battery life shortens from several hours to less than one hour without running large software.

Abnormal charging speed of the battery:
Under normal circumstances, the battery charging speed is relatively stable. But when the battery ages or has problems, the charging speed may suddenly slow down or speed up. For instance, it usually takes two hours to fully charge, but now it takes four hours or even longer.

Battery expansion or deformation:
Carefully observe the appearance of the battery. If you find that the battery is bulging, expanding, or deformed, this is a very dangerous signal and the battery must be replaced immediately. Just like some overused phone batteries, there will be obvious bulging.

Frequent automatic shutdowns:
Even if the device still shows a certain amount of battery power, but it frequently shuts down automatically, especially when the battery power is above 20% or even higher, this likely means that the battery is unable to supply power normally.

Abnormal temperature:
During use or charging, an abnormally high or low battery temperature may indicate a problem with the battery. For example, the phone becomes extremely hot during normal use.

Decline in device performance:
Sometimes battery aging can also lead to a decline in the overall performance of the device, such as slower operation and lagging. This is because the battery cannot stably provide sufficient power to support the normal operation of the device.

Battery health detection:
Many modern devices, such as smartphones and laptops, have built-in battery health detection functions. You can check the battery health status through the system settings, which is usually displayed as a percentage or status description (such as good, average, poor).

Professional testing:
If you still have doubts about the battery condition, you can send the device to a professional repair shop and use professional testing equipment to evaluate the performance and health of the battery.

Considering the above multiple factors comprehensively can more accurately determine whether the battery needs to be replaced to ensure the normal use and safety of the device.
