DIY iPhone battery hack: install a massive external (laptop) battery that can last for weeks!

I'm tired of having to replace batteries for my iPhone. So I go ahead and install a laptop Li-ion battery cell on the back of the phone so it can last longer and doesn't cost me a penny (salvaged from old laptops). It's also easy to replace because it is now external so I don't have to open up the phone. But I doubt I have to do that any more. I did the mod on an iPhone 5S but this process should work with any iPhone or any phone for that matter.

Why has no one issued a memo to men EVERYWHERE!? Doesn’t anyone realize what he’s just DONE? Males of our species have been trying to understand why women behave in such selfish and shortsighted ways for tens of thousands of years. It’s been our weakness from the beginning, and the source of 9/10ths of their hood over us… But he just put it all into perspective by providing an analogy men could FINALLY understand! I refer you to the Great Ones comments at 2:15. A Li-Po battery is to a man… what a PENIS is to a women! 🤯 Vive la révolution, my brothers! To Arms!

Or reuse a thin slab of plastic to bend with a little heat to get it into the right shape to fit perfectly on top of it. Having an exposed battery like this looks a little dangerous to carry around as you don't want something to poke right through it by mistake.

@tohopes 6 жыл бұрын

That's similar to what I did to the wireless headset I'm wearing now. I removed the internal battery and mounted an externally accessible 16350 holder. More importantly than being higher-capacity, it's swappable, meaning I can swap in a charged battery in seconds and don't ever need to keep the headset plugged in to charge it. I'm almost disappointed that you didn't connect the phone to your massive 5x cordless power-tool battery.

Did you change the capacity in the system files? You had to root it too. Theoretically, to make use of a larger battery capacity you just have to do it, or else it'll show the same stock capacity regardless of it's real capacity. Don't know if it's possible to do it on iphone tho. Also the weight of battery doesn't really mean you can run ur phone for week, it depends on how much ur cpu, gpu and screen uses and how much mah that battery has.

Hey homie, I know this video has been uploaded four years ago now but I just wanted to say, there has to be a better way. I've done this to an old 5-gen iPod.. installed a 3000mh/a battery but didn't have it protruding outside like that. There has to be another way. It's true what you say, it does last for months. I charged my iPod just once last year and it's still going strong.

@markifi Жыл бұрын

it would be cool to preserve the original battery and have this with a connector on the back, that way you can go back and forth between parallel packs and one internal battery

@vuaeco Жыл бұрын

You can't parallel 2 batteries with different capacity

@markifi Жыл бұрын

sure you can as long as you understand the risks@@vuaeco just make sure that there's not more than 0.1 Volt per cell difference between the cells if you want to avoid an equalisation current too high for the cell to handle. although this idea could make the battery you carry not usable specifically when you need it the most when your phone is empty but the external battery is full. i like your foam case you've made. my idea could even be done using a magnetic connector but then it's even more dangerous when the cell voltages diverge and you connect back up. just out of curiosity, what does the phone do when you supply your exact battery voltage through the lightning port? could it be that it's possible to achieve your modification with a clever charger that only gives 4.2 V when the internal battery is at 100%, 4.1 V when 80%, etc. etc. 3.5 V in the lightning port when the phone is at 10%? or it doesn't work like this. all i want to achieve is avoid charging losses but still have 20 days of navigation under a kilogram, but a fairly new external baseus pack with ~60 watthours of cells in it somehow only charges the 5000 mAh phone twice, that is 3 days of navigation for 600 grams, thanks for reading

Dear Sir, What a great idea it is to circumnavigate a manufacturer's idea to condemn it's customers to a set standard. Just like your good self I seldom use the phone as I really do not get an orgasm using it. No texting, messaging much less using social media with it & when I talk, 2/3 minutes suffices otherwise I get either ear &/ jaw ache. I did however once used it to find an address using Map app & one could see the battery literally draining away. Luckily as I work from home, I am not so desperate that I have to use an insignificant screen when I can do all my work/research on 27 inches of desktop. Very well done. Kind regards.

I had the same idea of connecting power bank lipo to phone but didn't do it because of the main problem. The lipo is bare. Sharp objects can puncture it and cause a short circuit. If phone falls, it might explode if you're very unlucky. The lipo also adds weight to the phone so if phone falls display facing down, the lipo weight can crack the LCD. Also most phones today have lipos with nominal 3.85v and full charge at 4.40v. Phone internal charge ic might never fully charge it
