If that was the case then basically every electronic you have had would've already done that. 18650 are literally used in everything. Laptops, cars, battery banks, and alot of other devices that is on the bigger side that also needs to be able to work without being connected to the socket. Big one is ebike.
Great project! I wish I knew the importance of these BMS boards before I threw away my PSP battery because it swelled (I didn’t have any electrical knowledge at that time). I imagine soldering that same PSP BMS board to a new and improved battery, from 1200 to maybe 5000 mAh that could last me a whole trip.
I've done this. It works quite well. Mine isn't the greatest job done though. There are people who have removed the UMD drive to allocate additional space for a larger battery.
5000 mAh would get you approx 8 hours run time on a demanding game with the lowest brightness. If I recall correctly the original 1400 mAh batter got you about 2 to 3 hours.
Pure genius. I never thought of this before. Funny, Apple keeps making their products thinner, yet many would prefer bigger higher capacity battery. You really should market this product upgrade! I am definitely trying this. Thank you.
This is awesome!! Pretty straightforward, anybody with basic battery knowledge could probably do this. Would love to see a follow up video about your phone!
omg dude haha. I wish my phone had this much power. Every time Apple comes out with a new phone they always say, 30% more battery than the last model etc, but the battery never really gets better lol.
I have a smartphone that I got from a yard sale for 25 cents and it does power up and function, it does not charge by USB so I will be doing something similar with it. Seeing your contraption reminds me of the show Trigger Happy TV with the big cell phone guy. HELLO! NO I'M IN THE LIBRARY.
Gooood work. I have in use Samsung a12 with 15000 mAh, 10000 mAh slim battery adapted from me. 3 hours workig for connections and design and my phone resist away from socket long time. After 3 days , normaly use, my super battery level is 74%. Real level, because Lithium modules is conected in paralell under BMS, with slim wires. Charge my phone with native 15w system in 6 hours after night, and i used original external battery case in my "slim" design. All the best. I have a one little monster phone and is ok for me. I tought i was the only me with such an idea.
Kinda did something similar with my one plus n10. off the 35 watt warp charge the bms knows somethings amiss and reduces it to 15 watts peak so around 7 hours from 0 to 100 but standby time is 4 days and screen on time about 21 hours at low brightness.
Need to replace boths cells. the internal one is crap and the external one came from my old motorola and it sat for several months almost discharged. these newer BMS modules in the modern phones can detect resistance and voltage drop under load and scale the charge status accordingly.
@@CotyRiddle This is exactly what happens in my case. The BMS sees something wrong, the charging power decreases, the battery reaches 100% on the screen, but the phone continues to pull from the charger for another 3-4 hours after. Test the whole behavior in several situations, and I can clearly say: overnight charging, no problems, does not indicate the correct charging but indicates the correct discharge and after 4 days at least I downloaded it at 65%. It's ok for me.
@@TheUlmstar83 it's actually a good thing that it does see something off like that as it could potentially cause bigger problems if it did not place limits on it. Example being the added cell might not be rated for the extra charge current or the charge controller in the phone might not have the capability to handle the added load.
Sometimes isopropyl alcohol will soften the glue holding the battery in. Use a syringe to dribble some underneath, let it work, pry a little, dribble some more, ...

Some phones pull over 3A from the battery at startup. So if the phone doesn’t turn on after the mod. Try adding thicker wire from the battery to the BMS.
Nice modifications! I've made my own "frankenphone" before with a battery bank circuit and an external momentary switch for the power button. I want to figure out how to add a scroll wheel on the side..
I have three phones. Two old ones but still functional and one I use in every day life. I still use them as it is good for remote use, camera from the house watching and stuff. Would love a battery like this one
When repairing phones we pull the 2 tabs at the bottom to remove the battery and if they break we use some kind of alcohol or drycleaner fluid to melt the adhesive and the battery comes right off without force and without damaging the battery if we were to put it back. I believe the phone percentage is jumping around because the iphone doesn't believe it stayed on all that time without charging...the phone or the bms is confused 😂. The DIY case is also very neat.
yes...but...do u know 18650 5cells are far cheaper than one pouch pack. and this pouch bat ...have so many scam in the market and use 18650 would save money more capacity and durability (also weight half a kilo!!!OMG)
Apple charges there battery to a much higher voltage, i measure it charges to roughly 4.4v which would damage a 3.7v nominal battery like the ones you’ve used but Apple uses 3.8v or higher nominal voltage cell that’s also the reason your percentage is in accurate
So I guess it can be called a mini tablet now. And since it's an older iphone, the girth can be sort of justified. The TSA people are quick to point fingers :( My aunt lost a new apple laptop to them because she covered it in black satin material so it wouldn't slide on her lap while typing. Never got it back. $2500 down the drain. I probably would have just made an external enclosure for the batteries and spray painted the thing to look like the iphone's shell. Then double-sided tape it to the phone, or magneted it as well as include metal terminal ends like inside the original internal battery for simple removal.
PRO TIP u can use older phones pouch cell battery - they are way smaller than 21700 (21700 is high output cell) then u can get 2-3+ times more capacity in older phone with only adding 5-6mm of the thickness
I noticed that you put separators between the batteries under the nickel to prevent shorts would of liked if you had mentioned that. You could of put a knot using the wire just before the exit of the mobile to improve the accidental wire pulling. Great project and thanks for sharing 👍🇬🇧 My battery is starting to discharge faster so this is a possible project for me if I can do the same with my pixel 3.
Yes, I put painter's tape under the nickel on the positive side of the battery to prevent short. I just forgot to mention it. The knot is a great idea.
Mobile battery low voltage cut off is 3.2v - on 3.3v, meanwhile the tesla or 18650 cutoff is 2.5v.. On rooted android phone you can edit battery capacity number so it'll display real percentage..
I think u could use it as a jump pack to start the plane u r flying in. No APU necessary. Really cool!! U told us one day u would tell us a little more about yourself. Mystery man. Phantom engineer. 😂😂
Maybe the percentage display isn’t accurate because they aren’t calibrated. I heard that by charging it and discharging it a couple of times, the board will learn it’s capacity.
@@Galax2000 the voltage actually don't play all too much in it. The ic On the BMS records all the charges and discharges and uses that to scale the capacity to the actual use.
phone battery are li ion but a little difference than your battery, orginal battry is 3.82 v nominal voltage with 4.35 volt full charge, you have to change your bms or your batry will ruin or burn from over voltage
You're absolutely right. Iphone uses high voltage Li-ion batteries that overcharges more than 4.2V (no wonder why they die so fast, talking about engineered obsolescence!). I'm not planning on using the original charging port to charge this battery anyway, too slow. I'm using my RC charger to charge it at 6A using the XT30 charging port on the back.
I found some 18650 Li-Ion cells that are made to charge up to 4.35v. Six of these 4.35v cells in parallel would be perfect for this mod, where someone would prefer to use the iPhone's charge port.
@@Peter.Sky.Walker are they the orange 4.3v LG cells ? i think i have some of those. i've also salvaged a bunch of pouch cells from third party battery charging cases that tend to suffer a failed circuit board way before the cell is shot. more than half of those cells were printed as 3.8v nominal so those would work too..
@@yeliab814 I have the purple Sanyo's with the yellow insulation ring. UR18650ZTA. I only realized they were 4.35'ers because they were fully charged when I found them. I probably have some of those orange LG's and just assumed they went up to 4 2.
@@Peter.Sky.Walker great thinking - i totally forgot about those Sanyos, they're perfect. I have some of the smaller diameter 16650 versions of that same cell, the 2400 mah 4.35v UR 16650 ZTA. Some of the LG's of that Salmon color are 4.2 , and some are higher voltage, you have to check the exact cell model code. The higher voltage ones may only be 4.3 though - i'm not really sure - the sanyo's are the best pick. thanks!
I’m sure they just LOVE this phone when you have to go through TSA at the airport! 😂 I have ALOT of crazy DIY electronics like this and every single time I fly with them they go through all my stuff, constantly looking over at me like “WTF IS THIS?!” Sometimes they’ll even call their fellow TSA agents over to show them all my stuff and they all have a good laugh together before finally waiving me through. I wonder if my experience would be any different if I had a different skin tone or style of dress🤔
So far I've been through TSA about 10 times with this phone. No questions asked. With so many views on this video, I figured they probably already watched my video. :D
@@vuaeco Interesting. That’s good, seems like it’s put together well enough to not draw attention. I think it’s the things with extra wires hanging out where they shouldn’t usually be that gets their attention most of the time for me. I’ve never had any real issues, just a couple times where they take some extra time to check all my stuff out. I can’t blame them, when I’ve peeked at the X-ray monitor my bag has looked like it’s full of poorly made bombs with all the battery cells and chaotic mess of wires lol.
17:36 could be that those 2170 cells can only Go up to 4.2v when the original battery can go to 4.35 volts and the bms is not expecting a huge battery so the capacity meter will be inaccurate for a few charge cycles
Oh that’s a good point! I was surprised when I discovered that a lot of the pouch cells used in Apple products (and others I imagine) were rated to charge to 4.35v
I love these videos! I have thousands of Li-Ion cells just sitting here begging to be used, and everything in my house requires 1.5v AA or AAA. *Edit: ooooookay, so maybe I don't really have thousands of cells. The actual number is closer to 1500.
Hello. Wouldn't it be a good idea to install a charge control chip in the batteries to prevent overcharging and overdischarging? that would make that even if the iPhone tries to charge it above the voltage it will not allow it. And don't let the battery cells go below a certain voltage either.
In theory, yes. But in this case, no. I don't even use the "lightning" port to charge the phone any more as I can just plug it on my own XT30 connector on the back and charge it 10 times faster. That "lightning" port is not so lightning any more, it's obsolete. So if I don't use it, I don't have to worry about it overcharging my battery. As for over discharge, I'll talk about it when I post an update video later on.
Dedicated Apple charger is needed, 5v 1A and 220v 150 mA. The GPS positioning should be always turned off. Needs internet access. My iphone batt started to radically become better. A game is needed offline, I chose a car game. From 100% down to 0% the title screen should be started, with full backlight (first time only min backlight). The game will enable dpms mode, that’s off by default. Solar charging is needed 3x 1 h, with surveillance, Apple doesn’t support solar, but fixes battery to support 1% for prolonged time. All devices, including windows laptops and android phones should avoid battery saving feature, it destroys capacity after a while. Laptops can use it, not always, only if needed.
Excelente vídeo e trabalho, para um protótipo em beta há muito que melhorar, mas garanto que há aplicações para este aparelho, imagine ir para uma viagem em lugar remoto e não precisar carregar o telefone, ou ir para áreas em guerra. O mercado é gigante e as aplicações para este formato de aparelho, hoje você fica carregando em um powerbank externo que perde em elevar os 4.1v para 5v e tem que fazer várias recargas. Obs.: a medição da bateria tem que ser ignorada no cel, pois está calibrada por software que acredita que tem a célula original e supõe seu gasto pelo tempo, talvez tenha que incrementar um micro voltímetro amperímetro e wattimetro na saída da bateria para se ter uma ideia real dos rendimento e eficiência do conjunto packs baterias... Parabéns pelo projeto... e viva o compartilhamento...
I've tried this idea on so many phones even bigger battery packs, but charging percent doens't show well, connecting batteries in parallel definately increases the capacity, but it disturbs battery charging algorithm Designed in the Phone firmware, and doens't perform according it's capacity, discharging levels never show uniformly, If someone want to do same, needs same capacity, same quality, same voltage levels, same charging cycle, same sizs of battery in parallel for steady performance.
Tried this with an iphone 7 It now won't boot. Just shows apple logo and shuts down Sometimes boots and shuts off after a minute Any solution? Even if i put back the old battery
@@vuaeco see you mistaken it 😂😂 I charge my phone 3 times per day, do you understand that and I laughed on you're usage because you can't test how long the battery gonna last with 55 minutes of screen on time everyday I mean come on the normal person use his phone 5 hours a day so you wrong, than battery can last only 4 days maximum with a normal person
@@vuaeco 28 and you? And I really still can't understand why you're daily usage is 55 min man it's so short I didn't meet someone like you ever because the average people usage is at least 3 hours or 4
Jip did the same thing to my old android phone didn't fit in my pocket but every time I took it out of my backpack people just starts running like it's a bom and that almost got me arrested so now I only use it at home 😂.
My new samsung phone came with 6000mah battery & gives 13-16hr screen on time basically goes on for 3 days without charge. The older honor 6x had a spicy pillow and also the screen cracked so i only use it as a webcam for my pc and so have this same exact mod done to it but with 18650 cell holder and 2100mah generic china battery cus the bms board is made for lithium hv cells which is 3.8v nominal and 4.3v fully charged so it overcharges the 18650 but it has been like this for 2yrs now and haven't exploded 💀
you can safely charge most 18650 cells to 4.35 volts it will just reduce the actual life time of the cell. going over 4.35 is actually where it gets risky. 4.15 to 4.25 is the general charge for a 3.7 volt nominal cell.
I charge my IMR cells for my mods to 4.3 volts all the time. they don't last as long over a course of several months but honestly I could care less because after about 4 to 6 months the cells generally have degraded to much to even care. 0.15 ohm loads eats them up.
Finally the solution, at most once a month on the charger and you never have to worry about being without power again, you do need some belt bag or something to have it with you, and what about with the Wi-Fi? too bad my iPhone has a glass back so drilling a hole is not easy 😂👍
Hahah looks weird looks like some crazy genius Tesla phone 😅 I want to do this for my older phone I made a power bank and but internal battery still works I see your point of making the new 2024 MagSafe permanent battery haha 😂 like your idea I don’t recommend drop this close to heat .

You're absolutely right. Iphone uses high voltage Li-ion batteries that overcharges more than 4.2V (no wonder why they die so fast, talking about engineered obsolescence!). I'm not planning on using the original charging port to charge this battery anyway, too slow. I'm using my RC charger to charge it at 6A using the XT30 charging port on the back.
I found some 18650 Li-Ion cells that are made to charge up to 4.35v. Six of these 4.35v cells in parallel would be perfect for this mod, where someone would prefer to use the iPhone's charge port.
@@Peter.Sky.Walker are they the orange 4.3v LG cells ? i think i have some of those. i've also salvaged a bunch of pouch cells from third party battery charging cases that tend to suffer a failed circuit board way before the cell is shot. more than half of those cells were printed as 3.8v nominal so those would work too..
@@yeliab814 I have the purple Sanyo's with the yellow insulation ring. UR18650ZTA. I only realized they were 4.35'ers because they were fully charged when I found them. I probably have some of those orange LG's and just assumed they went up to 4 2.
@@Peter.Sky.Walker great thinking - i totally forgot about those Sanyos, they're perfect. I have some of the smaller diameter 16650 versions of that same cell, the 2400 mah 4.35v UR 16650 ZTA.
Some of the LG's of that Salmon color are 4.2 , and some are higher voltage, you have to check the exact cell model code. The higher voltage ones may only be 4.3 though - i'm not really sure - the sanyo's are the best pick. thanks!
it would have been nice to see you use shrink wrap for the battery pack, but it is still cool.
When I go through airport security, it looks weird 🤣. By the way it’s awesome 👏
To get accurate battery percent you could have programmed the bms so that it clear it's battery data already baked into it.
They do have a programmer for them iphones
I’m sure they just LOVE this phone when you have to go through TSA at the airport! 😂
I have ALOT of crazy DIY electronics like this and every single time I fly with them they go through all my stuff, constantly looking over at me like “WTF IS THIS?!”
Sometimes they’ll even call their fellow TSA agents over to show them all my stuff and they all have a good laugh together before finally waiving me through.
I wonder if my experience would be any different if I had a different skin tone or style of dress🤔
So far I've been through TSA about 10 times with this phone. No questions asked. With so many views on this video, I figured they probably already watched my video. :D
@@vuaeco Interesting. That’s good, seems like it’s put together well enough to not draw attention. I think it’s the things with extra wires hanging out where they shouldn’t usually be that gets their attention most of the time for me. I’ve never had any real issues, just a couple times where they take some extra time to check all my stuff out.
I can’t blame them, when I’ve peeked at the X-ray monitor my bag has looked like it’s full of poorly made bombs with all the battery cells and chaotic mess of wires lol.
Truly Grateful! I am Truly grateful fir your videos and your inventions. I love it. Thank you, your helping me to open my mind. Thank you
Did this few years ago to my phone, my classmates thought it's a bomb when I take it out.
looks like a battery with an extra phone strapped on its back
video title should be : i attached a phone to my giant battery pack
17:36 could be that those 2170 cells can only Go up to 4.2v when the original battery can go to 4.35 volts and the bms is not expecting a huge battery so the capacity meter will be inaccurate for a few charge cycles
Oh that’s a good point! I was surprised when I discovered that a lot of the pouch cells used in Apple products (and others I imagine) were rated to charge to 4.35v
I like that 2 months on one change 😆
That looks like a bomb drop that enough times it will be
Hello there buddy, Now you gonna have iPhone battery for day’s 👍🏻
That's good work bro👍🔥.all you need right now is a 3d printed case
I love these videos! I have thousands of Li-Ion cells just sitting here begging to be used, and everything in my house requires 1.5v AA or AAA.
*Edit: ooooookay, so maybe I don't really have thousands of cells. The actual number is closer to 1500.
That's still thousands. :D
haha.. still...
Dammnnnn... Give it to me 😁
Hello. Wouldn't it be a good idea to install a charge control chip in the batteries to prevent overcharging and overdischarging? that would make that even if the iPhone tries to charge it above the voltage it will not allow it. And don't let the battery cells go below a certain voltage either.
In theory, yes. But in this case, no. I don't even use the "lightning" port to charge the phone any more as I can just plug it on my own XT30 connector on the back and charge it 10 times faster. That "lightning" port is not so lightning any more, it's obsolete. So if I don't use it, I don't have to worry about it overcharging my battery. As for over discharge, I'll talk about it when I post an update video later on.
Dedicated Apple charger is needed, 5v 1A and 220v 150 mA. The GPS positioning should be always turned off. Needs internet access. My iphone batt started to radically become better. A game is needed offline, I chose a car game. From 100% down to 0% the title screen should be started, with full backlight (first time only min backlight). The game will enable dpms mode, that’s off by default. Solar charging is needed 3x 1 h, with surveillance, Apple doesn’t support solar, but fixes battery to support 1% for prolonged time. All devices, including windows laptops and android phones should avoid battery saving feature, it destroys capacity after a while. Laptops can use it, not always, only if needed.
Never hot glue batteries, the wrapper can be easily damaged and may cause a lithium fire which WILL NOT STOP
Who told you that?
I am not the only Wierdo in this world kkkkkkkk we are many. From Zimbabwe wth love brother keep up the good work😂
"mad asian math skills"
Made me chuckle. Thanks!
i did tried to mod my phone too.. thanks to this video...
Excelente vídeo e trabalho, para um protótipo em beta há muito que melhorar, mas garanto que há aplicações para este aparelho, imagine ir para uma viagem em lugar remoto e não precisar carregar o telefone, ou ir para áreas em guerra. O mercado é gigante e as aplicações para este formato de aparelho, hoje você fica carregando em um powerbank externo que perde em elevar os 4.1v para 5v e tem que fazer várias recargas.
Obs.: a medição da bateria tem que ser ignorada no cel, pois está calibrada por software que acredita que tem a célula original e supõe seu gasto pelo tempo, talvez tenha que incrementar um micro voltímetro amperímetro e wattimetro na saída da bateria para se ter uma ideia real dos rendimento e eficiência do conjunto packs baterias...
Parabéns pelo projeto... e viva o compartilhamento...
Nice project,make more this please.
I've tried this idea on so many phones even bigger battery packs, but charging percent doens't show well, connecting batteries in parallel definately increases the capacity, but it disturbs battery charging algorithm Designed in the Phone firmware, and doens't perform according it's capacity, discharging levels never show uniformly,
If someone want to do same, needs same capacity, same quality, same voltage levels, same charging cycle, same sizs of battery in parallel for steady performance.
The design is very human
that a scary battery pack to have lol, imagine it shorts Hell of an explosion lol
Man you should put a Fan or some kind of thermal separation between the phones and cells, the heat is gonna kill the cpu
very creative and funny. liked it very much
Your phone looks like its half-unboxed on purpose..70 days without charging..thats crazy 😂😂😂
Why won't you also install a powerbank bord into the external cover that u have made for the battery... So it's More easy in use
Tried this with an iphone 7
It now won't boot. Just shows apple logo and shuts down
Sometimes boots and shuts off after a minute
Any solution? Even if i put back the old battery
"GUESS WHAT?" DOUBLE SIDED TAPE!
Thats crazy :) i love your idea. Hope one day the battery will not be charge any more :)
You got a sub from me. Unique. I feel like hard days are coming.. where we will have to be self sufficient. Projects like this might help me/us
this is netflix/youtube/tiktok ultimate machine 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video, nice humor;-) Man from the 70..
Oh my gosh don’t use a heatgun on the battery also don’t bend it apply acid tone under the battery to dissolve the bond…
Wasn't it easier to connect a power bank?
You're normal usage 55 minutes everyday 😂😂😂 so cute
Mine 13 hours everyday 🤣
What battery is in your phone, a forklift battery?
@@vuaeco see you mistaken it 😂😂 I charge my phone 3 times per day, do you understand that and I laughed on you're usage because you can't test how long the battery gonna last with 55 minutes of screen on time everyday I mean come on the normal person use his phone 5 hours a day so you wrong, than battery can last only 4 days maximum with a normal person
How old are you, Noah?
@@vuaeco 28 and you?
And I really still can't understand why you're daily usage is 55 min man it's so short I didn't meet someone like you ever because the average people usage is at least 3 hours or 4
Bros phone finna last a lifetime
Jip did the same thing to my old android phone didn't fit in my pocket but every time I took it out of my backpack people just starts running like it's a bom and that almost got me arrested so now I only use it at home 😂.
You should mold a brick phone case to house the batteries, you'd be as cool 90s Zack Morris
its a very good idea. but I think that the security can't let me enter an airplane with this thing.
I've gone through many airports with this and they never even asked me any questions or gave me a hard time on it.
Very cool. I actually thought about this…. Nice !! And it‘s actually quite easy. Is the charging voltage of lipo and lion the same?
Wow that is really nice please can you do a video on HP Elllite book2 laptop
My new samsung phone came with 6000mah battery & gives 13-16hr screen on time basically goes on for 3 days without charge. The older honor 6x had a spicy pillow and also the screen cracked so i only use it as a webcam for my pc and so have this same exact mod done to it but with 18650 cell holder and 2100mah generic china battery cus the bms board is made for lithium hv cells which is 3.8v nominal and 4.3v fully charged so it overcharges the 18650 but it has been like this for 2yrs now and haven't exploded 💀
you can safely charge most 18650 cells to 4.35 volts it will just reduce the actual life time of the cell. going over 4.35 is actually where it gets risky. 4.15 to 4.25 is the general charge for a 3.7 volt nominal cell.
I charge my IMR cells for my mods to 4.3 volts all the time. they don't last as long over a course of several months but honestly I could care less because after about 4 to 6 months the cells generally have degraded to much to even care. 0.15 ohm loads eats them up.
I think that tape will release if you pull and stretch it out
Finally the solution, at most once a month on the charger and you never have to worry about being without power again, you do need some belt bag or something to have it with you, and what about with the Wi-Fi? too bad my iPhone has a glass back so drilling a hole is not easy 😂👍
To remove the battery you gotta pull on the "forbidden cheese"

Nice mod thanks for the idea
I did the same thing to my daughter's phone about a month and a half ago.
Epic dude!
Hahah looks weird looks like some crazy genius Tesla phone 😅 I want to do this for my older phone I made a power bank and but internal battery still works I see your point of making the new 2024 MagSafe permanent battery haha 😂 like your idea I don’t recommend drop this close to heat . You made a protecting case all built in 😂 nice invention wait that examples was a good one tesla model 3 charging your home . After a day you will have stronger hands don’t need a gym with the weight 😅 I have some 26650 I’ll be working on they are so big but might do a power bank project
