Hello maria-cristina177,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand you have some questions about replacing your iPhone SE battery. We're happy to provide some guidance for that. First, we do have some tips to get the most out of your iPhone battery life:
Batteries - Maximizing Performance - Apple
Please know that as your iPhone ages, you’ll see the battery's Maximum Capacity start to decline. This will happen over time, taking into consideration how you use your device, and how many charge cycles are completed. Your iPhone battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 500 complete charge cycles when operating under normal conditions. The one-year warranty includes service coverage for a defective battery.
If your iPhone battery Maximum Capacity is still well above 80%, we would not recommend a battery replacement at this time. But if it is at 80% or lower, you can find out our battery replacement and repair information at this informative link:

Feel free to reply back with any additional questions or concerns.
All the best.
