Phone is 4yrs old now and parts is an issue. Batteries aren't new ones, but old ones stocked since many years.
And as they say...original is the actual original, anything thereafter is just a close match.

I asked a couple months back to 3 different service center and they said battery for Note 7S is out of stock and production is discontinued.
Had to go to local repair shop to buy non-branded battery.
Cost me ₹1000.
I want to replace battery of my Redmi note 7 pro and when I approached MI sc they said ignore online rates as now rates have inflated and he quoted me 1.8k for the battery.
I walked-into few local shops and they offered me batteries ranging 800 bucks to 1400 and said even MI so called original batteries wont last long as the original ones which got shipped with the phone.
Still not finding time to get it replaced..
Beware
Lithium ion BMS bypass (or hack)
I'm trying to turn a scavenged scooter battery into an e-bike one. I can balance charge it via the original BMS but discharging is the issue: P+ and P- are only delivering about 4 V. More wires, withelectronics.stackexchange.com
this was my assumption.
He soldered wire from battery +ve or -ve terminal and soldered to motherboard directly.
mobile is working perfectly.
max input is 18 watt (tested with 18 watt, 27 watt 33watt and i have 67 watt poco f5 charger)
battery working great no problems. any local repairer can tell what exactly he did.

My redmi note 8 pro is also not able to stay awake long.. since it's 4 years old I am in a dilemma whether to replace the battery or phone.. there is no performance related issue with the phone.. even the camera and display is pretty decent for the age of the device.. what's your suggestion as it is a sealed device I am sceptical about the finish while repacking the device.... Do the Service center do a good job while replacing the battery?

First check if service center has the battery in stock as in my case they had no part in stock and ordering it will cost more than 3 weeks.
On after market batteries or parts, the locals do the job just fine and in fact these days you dont even have to keep your phone with them for few days, they replace everything in front of you and work is done just within an hour or two so this ensures you can actually see how they handle stuff, replace and pack and you can poke them when required.
need more information.
do you mean screen timeout or battery life?
try resetting your device 1st.
then use it normally.
check battery health using battery guru app.
discharge completely and charge from 1% to 100% 2-3 times.
this will show battery health. everything is mentioned in the app.
you can calibrate your battery you will get some extra capacity.
using note 4 from 6.5+ yrs
not changed battery. I will change now.
battery guru app shows. 2400 mAh health capacity..
I opened redmi note 4 the day it arrived.
Just to look at insight.
It is easy for repairs for normal user as back panel is press fitted.
depends on service center technician and his mood and time of the day.
overall 50%+ you get good service in repacking mostly in cities.
Or you can buy battery if it's available with service charges and gst prices from service center
And do it yourself.
i have been running a 7-8YO mi phone with multiple replaced batteries. got the original battery only once or twice in the beginning, and thereafter only aftermarket ones. not much difference between the orig & 3rd-party ones. my experience has been that every 6-10 months i have had to get the battery replaced. and at times had to also get the newly fitted battery replaced with some other brand's as i found the previous one to be discharging quicker. all this may differ in your case depending on the usage. as @nRiTeCh said technicians these days are usually more competent. i used to go to 3-4 of them and found one of them to be the best and i settled with him for all this & any other required repairs eventually (who fortunately happens to be near my home too).

My Redmi Note 9 pro is 3.5 years old. Everything works fine, only the battery started showing abnormal behaviour. It's draining fast & phone is restarting constantly without a charger. So should I go to service centre for "original battery" that'll cost me around 1500 with 3months warranty or go to some local shop that cost 600 with 6 months warranty?
Also I read an article and tweet that Mi battery replacement should be around 499*. But I don't know why people won't talk about it.

I wish apple would gift us like this someday. .
Go and change your iphone battery for Rs 499. Even if total comes to Rs 1100 . I still be happy.

Local shops can replace that battery for 60-70 Rupees. Can't one just grab the official battery from MI without being forced to pay the service charges?

3rd party batteries which are available in India cannot match the performance of original OEM batteries till now.
But the scene is slowly changing as many homegrown companies have ventured into battery manufacturing.
for now, if original battery is available for your phone model, then it is the best choice to opt for.

They won't allow you to just get the battery. Service charges are how they earn their bread.

So I got the replacement done from official service centre, @awestorr was right. Got charged 1118. 3 months warranty.
But I got a new information, they talked the name of the battery as Bn52, so I googled it on Amazon which cost the same as around 1100, but with a 6 months warranty.
This means, these mi service centre people are also replacing with a different brand rather than an OEM.
Local shops that replace the battery reuse the old gasket and don't use the right tools. If your back is glass, there is risk of breaking and your seal will never be as good, and your back cover will come off abruptly one fine day as it did to me.
I'm happy dishing out 500 rs more to get a genuine battery and the confidence that my phone is not going to fall apart
