However, assuming for the moment that this is a genuine post, battery life can vary widely across different devices and depending upon how they're used and charged. See here:

Most batteries last at least two years though and some can last for far longer than that. Many phones have batteries that can be replaced as easily as changing torch batteries but some have batteries that can only be changed by a specialist technician. Somewhat annoyingly, it's often the most expensive phones that have to be returned to their manufacturers when new batteries are required. However, for those who're prepared to take the risk, there are often videos on Youtube showing how new batteries can be installed directly by phone owners.

The same general principles apply to batteries in tablets but it's then more likely that the assistance of a specialist (or referral to a Youtube video) will be needed to replace a defective battery.
Well said Chris. I was about to say similar.
iv changed batteries in sealed phones, like the htc m8 and others
its not easy you will more likely break a ribbon cable, or crack the lcd.
but if have the patience and tools, you can do it, as was mentioned there are plenty of vids how to to it, there are loca phone repair shops that can do it as well, expect to pay 30 to 50 pound..roughly.
I replaced the battery on my old Samsung Tab 3. It was easy with the right tools. The hardest part was purchasing the battery without having to send the tablet back to Samsung. I managed to get one though and it cost me £10
