WARNING EVERYONE! PRY THE BATTERY OUT FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DEVICE! THERE IS A CHIP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BATTERY CALLED THE U3 CHIP, BATTERY PRYING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE BATTERY CAN DAMAGE THE CHIP!!

Big thank you from uk, really was good because if I wouldn't have known battery was glued I would have been very apprehensive about forcing it's removal for fear of breaking something. Wishing you a great 2023 ✔

Perfect. Other videos made it look easy. You explained that it took some elbow grease to get the screen open and then also the battery. I almost gave up trying to get the thing open before watching your vid. Much appreciation!

THANK YOU!!!!! Your video helped guide me replacing my father's battery, which was on its last leg. I purchased a kit from ebay for 13 dollars, and it came with everything necessary. However I would recommend people getting a magnetic screw driver to put the two phillips screws back in...that helped me a ton! The overall process was painless...except the battery removal. That was tough. You have to be kind of tough with it and I focused on prying open the bottom right of the battery, while working my way toward the middle of the battery (at the bottom). Once that section preyed up, the rest followed seamlessly. I bent the battery itself however the phone was fine. Took me only 15 minutes. I have done many, many Mac upgrades but this was my first iPhone fix. THANK YOU AGAIN!!!! :)

Spot on !! thanks for the video. This was easy with a little instruction. Pry the battery from the left though. It took about 5 minutes to get the screen out and 10 minutes total . The phone powered up no problem!!

Thanks, this helped quite a bit. Took less that 30 min from start to finish. Would've been less but I had the same screw driver issue and I didn't have a back up.

Your instructions were absolutely perfect! Thank you.

Great tutorial! Changed my batteries in under 5 minutes. Thanks a lot!

Nice tutorial, sure gave me a hint on how to do this. Tho I saw that you can pull out the old battery with that plastic thingy on the side, and the battery would have just lifted up.

Thank you, battery replacement worked just as you described it would.

This video helped a lot. I wouldn't have known where to start. On this old iphone 5c the battery was stuck to some kind of adhesive. I used regular kitchen cutlery/eating knife to pry it off and being very careful not to damage the delicate chip and case. I found multiple small pries with the knife and not doing it near the chips and it eventually came off after i finished the job with my fingers but it was also bending and I was mindful of videos where Li-Ion batteries catch fire after being bent. I lifted the remaining adhesive with my fingers. It was like old stuck chewinggum. New battery snapped in, the connectors are facing down so a gentle nudged and it connected. The phone is charging.

awesome - this tutorial helped me through each step! But the screws... so small!!

Is factory reset necessary after replacing the battery? Thanks for the video.

Worked like a charm! Thanks!

A hint on the suction cup. The one that came with my "kit" from Amazon was totally useless. I used the windshield suction holder from my Garmin and it worked in two seconds.

Just replaced my iPhone 5 battery, using this method. I was very careful not to damage the internals, prying the battery from the left side of the phone (side with buttons) and pulling on the tab, which broke, before I used a hairdryer on the back of the phone to heat up the battery adhesive. All went without a hitch, even with my 2 year old son 'helping'. Having watched other 'instructionals', I can assure people you DO NOT need to remove the screen, as long as you support it at no more than 90 degrees from the iPhone body.

This video does a better job at showing how to get the screen off than most. Thanks!

thanks SIR ,,,,, for providing these kind of video ,, THANK YOU

Thanks for posting this video. Noted about prying the battery out from the left as per comments :)

EVERYOONE PLEASE LISTEN!!!! THE BATTERY MUST BE TAKEN OFF AT THE LEFT SIDE. I DID IT AT THE RIGHT LIKE THIS VIDEO AND NOW MY PHONE IS BROKEN. CAN'T BELIEVE HE DIDNT PUT A DISCLAIMER AND MENTION THIS.

Hey David, How is the battery life with your new "cheap" battery? I am looking at replacing my battery with a cheap battery but I am also concerned about the battery life of the cheap battery. Thanks.

great video, perfect instructions. thx

I watched several vids as I progressed through the battery change out, and was stuck on getting the screen to detach from the base. THIS video gave me the hint that I needed to get the case and screen to separate. You can watch some vids that are twice as long, and still be stuck. This one is straight forward and very GOOD. Thanks

Solid guide. Had no trouble changing the battery following this.

Appreciate the video and not knocking it but a lot of these videos make it seem so easy for whatever reason I pretty much did the same thing and the screen of the phone came away from I guess the digitizer not completely but it seems as though the metal backing of the screen is stuck inside of the phone blocking me from getting to the battery and trying to get it off another little screw popped out which is not a screw for the two at the bottom

Changed mine no problem. Thank you.

Thanks for the instructions!

Really helpful, many thanks

It worked for me, Thank you !!

You mentioned early that you were concerned because the battery was so cheap. Did that have any affect later? or is the battery still good to this day?

good clear video , Thanks a lot 👍👍

Thank you this vid was very helpful

Your instructions were great. Worked fine. Tiniest screws in the world, so you need a magnifying light, if you have one (we did). I'm 71 years old, but I did this in 10 minutes. Yay!

thanks for the video

Thanx bro Helpful

Great tutorial Thanks!!!!

Great vid!

I wondered what that little tiny back thing was after removing the screws from the battery connector hold down. I didn't worry about it but is a necessary foam spacer between the connector and the hold down. Without it my phone continues to loop in reset mode every few minutes and I get no battery level indicator without a power reset. These foam spacers can be purchased for just over $!. I wish I had known this as part of the replacement instructions.

Too good thanks for posting the video

this was brilliant tutorial - im a technophobic but following these instuctions was a doddle and phone worked perfectly - very happy lady!

thank you , this worked , but the battery isnt holding a charge , as why i replaced the old one , thinking it was the battery , so i have a new one in there now, but the battery still is dying on me fast , something else is draining the battery and i cant figure out what it is , do you think its cause i need to install ios8 ? im still on ios7

Thanks!

Thanks a bunch for this.

Hi I replaced the battery with a cheap amazon one and powered the phone up and it's teleported me to some post apocalyptic town and I'm the only person by the looks of it. I've read the instructions that came with the battery and there is no mention of this happening, just wondering if you have any advice? Should I book an appointment with an apple genius?

Great info. Question: I'm going to let the local phone shop change mine. Can they access any info on my phone while they have it?

Thanks helped me out

That was awesome 👏🏽

Just got my iphone 5 battery today CANT WAIT

Just a quick note... I have followed the steps as you said, and after doing it both home and power buttons are not working. It seems that the step in which you take the battery away from the phone, you are forcing it in the right side of the battery which can lead, as in my case, to damage three pins located near the sim card. This pins are the ones in charge of make buttons work, and now I have them damaged. I'm not saying you have to get any responsibility, but for future people checking this video, I encourage you to add a caption stating that forcing the battery to unglue it MUST be done from the left side of it, not the right side...

Nice job 👍🏼

Do you need to glue the new battery back in place?

Thank you, it worked

Wish we could make the apple logo glow on this model like the previous video you posted. Is there any thing with the apperance that can be changed when it comes to the hardware of the newer models?

Well done mate prying the battery open from the right side as you said managed to fuck up the chips on the iphone damaging both my home and power button. Its mean't to be done from the left side. After reading your comments i see that someone already told you this yet its still wrong in your video. Well done instead of helping people you are just causing them to damage their phones.

thank you very much sir

do you have to glue the new battery back in??

Is there a serial # on the battery? If so, does it match the serial # of that specific iPhone?

Do you need an anti static wristband like you woukd in a computer?

How was the replacement battery as far as quality and holding a charge (length of time before next charge)? I realize this video is over two years old, but I still have my iPhone 5S (can't afford to replace my phone every time a new one comes out).

thnx man. 5 minutes and all done.

thank you!

wow it worked thanks!

Thx man!

thank you so much

Bro your experience absolutely right

The adhesive cane off with the battery? Is this ok? Will I need new adhesive?

tnx

thanks

Do you HAVE to re-glue the battery? Can I just leave it be in the slot

Does the APN of the battery matters?

woohoo i did it thank you so much bud

great video

i would like to know which battery replacement should i buy, i mean, which is the best brand, ifixit, or what. thank you

How did the cheap battery hold up?

I notice the original battery was from japan. Where is the replacement made and is it as high quality as the original?

Are these cheap batteries good or not so good?

easiest thing i've ever done. cheers

The battery was really tough to remove, but I worked hard on it and used a disposable plastic knife to get underneath it and it came out!

so what do you do if the screen layers come apart? and i am unable to access the battery?

nice job

Here's a tip on removing the battery. Use dental floss and wedge it underneath the battery on one side. Floss towards the opposite side of the battery and you should be able to separate the battery from the adhesive.

can anyone tell me what size screwdriver i need to get the three screws holding the battery in?

I tried replacing my battery since it's been shutting down at around 20% when i did this i put in the battery tried to turn it on nothing, after wards i tried plugging it in, the phone repeatedly vibrated and itunes actually recognized it and everything. The problem was that the screen wouldnt show any sign. After seeing this i tried changing the battery back the original and everything was the same. Right now im unsure on whether the battery was deffective since it was so cheap or i did something wrong.

Typical Apple BS. They have to make everything hard so that the customer has to pay for equipment replacements instead of just simply popping on a new battery. Weasels.

is the battery full after?

can I know same thing to repair slim slot for HTC 816

How was the battery life on the sub $10 battery?

U sir r a genius

thanks fella

my iphone has a black sceen and wont charge at all i know its nit the screen had it changed recently and would it be the battery tha is broke sas i used a cheap charger?

How has the battery worked out? Holding a charge? I too am concerned because of price..

So I'm having trouble with my iPhone 5 that does not turn on unless it connects to iTunes for recovery mode (Which didn't work). Would changing the battery of my iPhone solve the solution of the Recovery mode stuff?

I hope I can do that....I need to replace my iphone 5 battery

how do i get the connector in? its so bloody difficult everything else went rather smoothly now we're stuck on that tiny little part

my question to you is once u have placed the battery and than your phone keeps looping in a restart mode how to fix that??? because that is a very common issue once the battery has been replaced.

my iphone 5 camera part (upper part) is bloated it's already partly open but you said that by pulling up the screen you should not include the upper part how bout this case?

TheUnlocker can you help me to solve my problem please. I'm charging my iPhone 5 with a cheap charger of my colleague at work and after a few minutes the charger blew up on the wall and turns to black and my work place lights turns to dim. I check my phone and its dead so it's a big mess up and trouble for me and the place I work. the next day I watch your video and order battery online and replace it hoping that it would be solve on that way... but unfortunately... still dead man :( what do you think I should do.. change the mother board or bit and pieces? I'm not expert but I try to sort it out... please help me m8.. thanks!!!

if you let an iphone without using it or chzrhibg it for maybe 2 years will something happens to the iphone ? i mean maybe a battery failure or explosion ?

Thank you!

Nice
