Thank you so much!!! I am a 67 year old female that just changed her own iPhone battery without any problems! Great demonstration video, replacement battery and repair kit!
This video really helped!!! Mental note: Listen to the video once right before doing the battery replacement. I listened to it plenty of times before I got the nerve to finally order a battery kit. Then I followed along while replacing it, forgetting all the small stuff I had watched a few weeks prior (I almost blew away my screws with the blow dryer!). I didn't order the kit in here because I didn't find it right away on amazon. This kit had a few more tools than the one I received. Mine was missing the black pry tool and the tweezers. If you're worried about removing the screen, trust me... it's worth it! And it's not as hard as it sounds in your head. There is a slight click when putting the strips back. The only sound I can compare it to is baby snaps on newborn clothes. Very very light click.
Extremely helpful video. Follow these instructions and take your time and you should be setup for success. It took me about 40 minutes, but about 8 of those minutes were spent trying to get the screws back in after I was "complete". Two additional tips I would give: 1) Think about your hand positioning. Don't block your light source and don't make it overly difficult where your hand is bumping the front assembly when you're trying to unscrew the cover plate. 2) Pull straight with the tabs towards the bottom (charge port) of the phone instead of going around the sides. If you pull at a low angle, with constant but light pressure you might get lucky like I did and have both strips come off without ripping. Good luck!
Just replaced my battery successfully. I appreciate getting all the tools and supplies needed in an affordable, professional package that arrived quickly with detailed printed and video instructions and support from a responsive seller. I skipped removing the screen and just held the phone open below 90 degrees. I agree with previous comment to pull the tape straight down towards the home button instead of trying to work it around the corner and apply the tape to the battery first. Also, my new adhesive strips would not come off the blue backing. I messed up all the strips provided but I managed to get an inch or so of tape on the phone to stick the battery down. I noticed putting the screen back down the battery presses up a little, but no issues with performance and I keep it in a tough case so hopefully it won't become too much of an issue. We'll see how the battery performs.
I got very stuck, do not pull the strips around the corner, pull them straight down. it snapped off and I had to use brute force to pry the battery off! kitchen spatula came in very handy. Apart from this very informative video, thanks!!!
I watched several videos to replace the battery and this one is the best overall. All videos insisted that you remove the screen. This one gave me the knowledge to remove the battery and replace it (successfully) without removing the five connectors attached to the screen. I used several books to ensure the screen did not tilt more than 60 degrees. It is somewhat tricky but with patience is not overly difficult. Appreciated, thanks.
This is one of the best guides I have seen on the subject, Excellent narration especially regarding tips, techniques and explanations for the inexperienced. (short, sharp, but complete). Thanks..
Hey I gotta an question, my Iphone battery is horrible like it goes down way to fast. Like it’ll be on 80% and then 5 mins later it’s on 5%. When u change the battery does it help with that?
Just changed my daughters phone battery! Her phone wouldn't charge and was told it needed a new 'motherboard' at a cost of £150 at a phone shop in Queensway W2. Was a bit sceptical and took a chance with a new battery from Amazon. Battery was a bit difficult to remove and had to use a flat head screwdriver to really pop the thing out. Anyway phone works perfectly and it only cost me £15! Brilliant video and really pleased with myself!!
Worked like a charm. We didn’t have to disconnect the touch screen. I messed up putting on the new adhesive. When I pushed the tab 90 degrees it flipped over and stuck to the adhesive a little. I also found it easier connecting the battery first and then placing it onto the adhesive. Great video. Thanks
One of the best and most detailed steps for replacing a battery in an iPhone 6 I have seen. The warning to replace the screws in EXACTLY the same place they were removed from is very important. The screws vary in length but the differences are so slight you might not notice it, put a long screw in where a short screw is required and a good circuit board can be turned into non-repairable junk. Attention to detail is very important.
Perfect. Thank you man. Very helpful. Took me about 45 minutes. Would have been about 30 minutes, this was because once I reattached the front screen I must've not clicked one of the bands into place all the way. Once I tested turning it on, the screen was all whacked out. So I went back in, reconnected all the bands and it worked perfectly. Great walk through. And I agree, tearing the adhesive to the side is easier regardless of what the other commenters are saying.
I just replaced the battery in my iphone 6. Nice easy directions. The hardest part was connecting the new battery, but patience and 5 minutes later it was all done. My phone is running like new! Thanks.
Just completed my battery replacement using the ScandiTech kit and this video is very helpful. However, I found the instructions for putting on the new adhesive strips to be incorrect. After peeling off the blue film, the strips should be placed on the back of the new battery, then folded up around the top at the bottom of the battery. Then the red film can be removed and the battery placed into the phone. Doing it the way the video shows places the little adhesive strips that are meant to hold the tabs down on the top on the wrong side.
Hello Ed, You're absolutely right. We've been toying around with different ways to install the adhesive and for first time technicians it's definitely easier to put the battery right on to the battery. We've made a quick guide showing this process: th-cam.com/video/CrTDzkF6wvg/w-d-xo.html Thank you for your comment and hope this helps! Regards, ScandiTech
@@ScandiTech also, it makes sense to plug in the battery first before positioning it down on the adhesive. Then unplug it for safety when completing the install of the screen. No I haven't done it yet; but I am an observant anal engineer ready to order from you or someone. I like how you test the battery and also leave the battery install cable for last. Smart advice.
Had a lot concerns about doing this, if I’m honest, as it obviously means dismantling your phone and it can quite worrying. Excellent instructional video - took about 20 minutes.
Thank you very good for that detailed exact working. This helps a lot. One note: The adhesive strip for the battery has straightened up in the last step before closing the display. It will now probably press or stick against the display.
Thank you so much for your detail instruction. I watched 3 videos on replacing I phone 6 battery and yours was the most helpful! Thanks again and keep up the good work!!!
I started my battery on fire! A good warning would be to state "never use a metal pry tool to get the battery out" It arced across to the metal after a slight puncture of the soft battery shell. Luckily I was able to dump the flaming battery out before any damage was done.

Great video. I bought your pack with battery, screw drivers and tweezers and did the battery swap. Took about 45 minutes thanks to the very thorough instructions. I have never worked on something this delicate before but it wasn't terribly complicated. You have a great product! Thank you.
Thankkkkkk youuuu soooo much for your help. I was honestly scared to do this, but your instructions were so easy to follow. From the bottom of my heart I appreciate you.
Nice job, this worked out perfectly for me. I did not remove the screen and was able to change the battery. It took me about 45 minutes to do the job. Battery is working perfectly. Thanks. ScandiTech.
I am useless at this type of thing but instructions talk you through step by step and no issues. Also worth adding that I removed the top section which was described as tricky, but it was all quite straight forward.
My battery has lost its mind, looked this up to see how easy it was to replace, and after watching your video, I’m definitely doing it myself. Super informative, and I’ll probably save a lot of money this way
@@quavonhall7050 yeah for a while. Heads up, lots of little screws that are easy to lose. Better than buying a new phone for sure, or paying someone to do it
It worked but I suggest having women and kids leave the room before attempting removal of the battery. The vernacular of the gutter had to be employed.
If your suction cup sucks like mine did, use a Garmin windshield suction cup mount, the larger handle gives you or your helper something more to hold on to.
Excellent, concise and accurate step-by-step video. HOWEVER, for us older folk, I would NOT recommend attempting this - the screws are microscopic. Picture small crumbs. Highly recommend leaving to someone younger. Otherwise, great video.
Just done it and it worked well. The only thing is that I had some other components that obviously doesn’t correspond to the iPhone 6 (yes, it’s the *iPhone 6 ONLY* kit that I have.) The over stock is like an interior transparent protection thing with two holes (one round and one oval) that doesn’t go anywhere in any iPhone I recall). Anyway, the 2600 mAh is PERFECT! Thank you.
Hi Scandi Tech! First of all, i want to thank you so much!!! Your battery is very high quality, cheap and the tools u guys provide makes the job super easy! Even the caveman can do it. :) Now my iPhone can hold about 9 days in standby mode and when i play games or watch HD movies, it can hold up to 17 hours... ;) My old battery was 3 years old and had about 750 charging cycles and the phone was shutting down when it reaches about 25 - 30%, which was driving me nuts! At best it can hold about 5 - 7 hours on high use and about 3 days on the standby. Yeah i know not bad for the 3 year old battery, but i know how to charge my batteries, that's why they last a long time... :) Anyways i order your "Battery kit" with all the tools included and it took me about 25 - 30 minutes to replace the battery. The glue on the battery was super easy to remove, because what i did is pull the tape a little bit and then use my hair dryer to heat up the glue a little more and little by little, both tapes came off very easy and the battery just popped out, No force necessary. I did remove the screen, becuse it makes the job much easier and u don't have to worry damaging any connections that goes to the screen. Me as the computer administrator, that fixes all kinds of computer and the cell phones. Highly recommend this seller and his products. Good job and keep up the good work! ;) Cheers
Thank you for your very detail video, I will try it on my old iphone 6 which keeps on running out of battery while using it. I already have iPhone 10 now but sometime need to go back to use my second phone for something.
Did it. One of the better tuts. When done, my flashlight/back camera wasn't working. Opened it back up and whoops. I had inadvertently unplugged the camera. Easy to do by accident. It's the 5th connector.
I like folding duct tape over on itself (so it's a sticky circle) stick it and flatten it to the table, then you can stick the screws to it in the right pattern and they stay where you put them real good. No fear of coughing, sneezing or bumping them off.
I know this video is pretty old now, but i successfully replaced my phone battery! Great video, I didn’t remove screen to avoid the potential of losing anything. Battery works great and my iPhone 6 should hopefully last just one more year😂
This was a very helpful video, and your product on amazon was very reasonable. I just fixed my iPhone 6 for $25 when it wouldn't hold a charge. Thanks!!!
Thanks for posting this. I could not have done this without your video. Got it right the first time following your instructions. Kudos. To anyone who does this, get a strong set of magnifying glasses since the screws are tiny.
Everything went exactly according to the video. My only suggestion is that it was hard to tell which side of the new adhesive strips faced down. We reversed it accidentally so the ends of the strips did not stick to the phone, although this did not present a problem. I wonder if it would be easier to apply the adhesive strips to the battery first. (Apologies. I see this same comment was made below). Thanks for a great product and excellent support!
Hello John, Thanks for the feedback. Yes, indeed. The part showing the application of the adhesive is not very clear. We made a new video for this process alone. Please see here: th-cam.com/video/CrTDzkF6wvg/w-d-xo.html This should be much clearer :-). Regards, ScandiTech
I would recommend finding a small magnet and sticking it to your screwdriver. Now your screwdrivers magnetic. Take the magnet off and it's no longer magnetic. I always keep a few magnets of various sizes sticking to my fridge. It's also handy when you lose a small screw on the floor.
Great video. My only nitpick was the adhesive under the battery. It took me quite a while to get it off. I ultimately had to force the battery out because the adhesive kept breaking and never could pull them out with ease. Other than that, everything else went smoothly.
The heating part is really something that could be avoided, I guess? I've just completed the replacement of iPhone 8 battery and I just pulled the tabs and then used a credit card to lift it up. Worked fine. I assume that iPhone 6 battery replacement process was not much more complex, but that's just a guess.
Just repaired my phone! It was a little touch and go there when the adhesive strips both broke so i had to pry the battery out with the tweezers and then i almost lost a screw when putting everything back together, but in the end everything worked out perfectly I'm so happy
Hi there, The process can get really troublesome because of the adhesives. When the adhesives break, try to soften it first by applying heat before prying the battery out. It can be much easier if the adhesive is softened. And yes, the screws are tiny and can be easily lost. It can also be blown by our own breath or any gust of wind. Which is why it is recommended to secure the screws as these are also sized differently. Overall, I'm glad to know that the replacement was a success. Cheers!
Superb and highly informative video. No background noise, distracting graphics or unnecessary adlibbing. Just straight to the point from A to Z, and it worked perfectly for me. If there was one thing I would add is to use plastic tweezers or pry tools when trying to remove the old battery. Usually on the battery there's a warning about the risk of explosion if the battery is accidentally pierced, especially by a metallic tool. I also wore safety goggles for removing the battery just as an extra precaution. You don't have to wear goggles if you don't want to. But there is always a risk when poking around trying to remove something as potentially dangerous as this. Thanks so much
The battery works great. The tools are really nice and worked very well. Great product! However, the only issue I had was the new battery connector was not bent exactly as it needs to be to fit in properly and I had to figure out how to bend it so it would fit. Once I figured it out it was not a problem but there was nothing in the instruction about this. Anyone who does want to change their iPhone battery them self should note that getting the old battery out is not easy since it is glued in and unless you have decent mechanical skills you might ruin your phone. If you are under the impression that this is as easy as popping out the old battery and popping in a new one you may want to take you phone to the Apple store and pay for the battery replacement.
Hello Jon, I'm happy to hear that you managed to replace your battery. I see. In most cases, the battery does arrive with its connector in the right angle. However, during shipping and warehouse handling the battery tend to move about in the package and because of this, the connector might now always have that perfect 90 degree angle. Either way, I'm glad you figured it out on your own. You are absolutely correct. The battery replacement is not a risk free process. We try to warn about this wherever it's appropriate. We also recommend all potential customers to read and watch our guide before considering taking on a project like this. 95% of our customers manage to replace their batteries without any issues, but as you said, this is not for everyone. Regards, ScandiTech
Thank you for this beautifully narrated, shot, and transcribed how-to video! You’re an excellent communicator! Do you have instructions for an iPhone7 (Small versión) battery removal?
Hi there, Thanks! We try to make sure that everybody understands the process regardless the technical level. Here is our iPhone7 guide: th-cam.com/video/h7JdnGM8gWM/w-d-xo.html Cheers!
What problems? this was a great video and it's as easy as it shows. I myself had the end of the old glue strip break but was able to grab just enough with the tweezers to get a hold of it and it came right out. Stuff is wierd, it's rubber.....
I thought this video was incredibly helpful and allowed me to successfully change my battery here in a country where none are available even if I wanted to pay someone to do it. However, I would like to add a small comment. When I got to the point of sticking down the tape I erred with the correct side up. This is almost a non-issue but the ":grab tabs" at the end of the tape weren't correct and there was a small amount of "sticky" facing up, not down which would allow for the tabs to lay down and stick to the battery. It worked any way but I thought it was worth mentioning.
Thanks for the video... I changed the battery in my Iphone 5 a couple of years ago (when the phone was about 18 months old... which is the same story with this 6... assuming that's when the batteries go to shit) so I had an idea how to go about it.... FYI guys DO NOT pry too hard trying to free the battery!!! I poked through the coating of the battery caused it to arc to itself two separate times.... when I finally pulled the battery up about half of its protective layer stayed glued to the phone case... so please be careful! Luckily my phone still works just fine with the new battery. Took me about 20 minutes to complete the swap, and my phone had never been apart before tonight.
This is a helpful video but I think that the adhesive strips should be placed on the battery so when the adhesive is folded over, it sticks to the battery like the original strips were installed.
You don't have to heat up the battery to remove strips. Just pull them straight out at about a 40 degree angle, slow and careful and they come right now. No need to "pull around corner", just pull straight.
Did not remove screen, had wife hold screen at 90 degree angle to phone. Heated back with hair dryer, both tabs broke off on adhesive; maybe did not heat up enough . Had to really heat back of phone up and pry battery up bending old battery. Can't understand why such strong adhesive. As stated in video, keep screws separated and away from work area because hair dryer will blow them and you will spend more time looking for them . I had no problem. Excellent video.
Thank you so much for your video! there was a scaring second there when the adhesive decided to bunch together in places but i was done with this (i was getting very frustated) so i put the strips in anyways and it seemed to work fine
I installed the new battery without those ultra sticky tape strips. No need for those anyway, the battery fits snug on it's own. Plus, the old phones years ago didn't have the batteries taped in, there is no need.
Great video, guys. However, in my case the glue tabs broke off at the very start, and I think my leverage and use of hairdryer must have affected something, as my phone as that ghosting, and it doesn’t respond to the finger control. But why does Apple have to glue the battery in place, where Samsung doesn’t? Back to my old Samsung then!
I just watched the replacement vid on ifixit, all she did to remove the adhesive was to pull straight back from the tabs, then work them around the side of the battery slowly pulling all the time. Just like removing a "Command Strip".
Awesome Video!! I bought the battery along with the kit. You video to the T. is awesome, very tediious work with the screws, especially for someone with eye problems. My neck is killing me LOL. Def. worth the price rather then constantly paying apple and kiosks for their products and services. Thanks Guy!!
i was thinking of fixing my electronics and i went and bought a screws box and a battery and i tried to replace it but it turned to be the new one was broken i tried to charge to see if it empty but it wasnt so i opened my ps4 and i was going to clean it from inside and replace the thermal paste but on of the clips was old and dry so when i pulled it i broke it then i took the ps4 to the electrics shop and got it fix :) and all of this i still want to learn how to fix items instead of throw it away so thanx for your videos
Successful repair! Great Battery! One question, when I put the battery in, i put it all the way to right against the logic board. I was still able able to connect the battery, but will this cause any issues later on?
Hello there, No. You should be OK. We recommend spacing the battery in the middle of the back assembly to let it have a bit of "breathing room" on both sides. However, even if the battery is directly adjacent to either side of the phone, it will not cause any harm. Regards, ScandiTech
Gave it a like but i do wish there was more on the blow dry your phone part, lmao. I didn't have a heat gun and just wasn't really sure how long to heat it up, how close to hold it to the phone and so on. I managed to get the job done and phone worked perfect after, just would have spent ab 30mins less with a little more instruction regarding the adhesives. Thanks a lot for the help though :) Now i can hopefully get a little money for this phone to go toward the upgrade :D
Great kit. Video was instructive, but has you incorrectly place the sticky strips on the phone, not the battery. It then says, "...it might not stick, that's ok." It doesn't stick because it is upside down! I found that out too late. Also, the screen gasket is completely ignored. Had to watch some other vids to find out what to do there, then go back, take it all apart again and put that on. Wish I had watched some other videos as well beforehand!
I just bought your replacement battery and will be tackling this very soon. Just curious why in your video demo the replacement battery is an apple battery and not one of yours. You had one in the kit at the beginning, why not use it for the replacement video?
Hello Jim, Thank you for your comment. We sometimes use props or old batteries in our videos. You see, our batteries are not stored in the same office we make our videos, hence we do not have direct access to our own inventory. It's a bit silly, I know. In some cases we've also make our videos prior to officially launching our battery kits. This means we haven't had our own batteries ready when putting the video online. Regards, ScandiTech

If your suction cup sucks like mine did, use a Garmin windshield suction cup mount, the larger handle gives you or your helper something more to hold on to.
@@philcutler1123 Well said, I wondered if one of those things would gloop it on off easier.
I mess up my iPad cause my daughter and wife was around me I throw the iPad in garbage hahah
Well, I’m a woman and the household’s battery changer.
Almost blew my self up doing it bc I messed up and the battery blew up
I just completed it in about 15 minutes. Great video, great tools. Very impressed.
Nice work!
Excellent, concise and accurate step-by-step video. HOWEVER, for us older folk, I would NOT recommend attempting this - the screws are microscopic. Picture small crumbs. Highly recommend leaving to someone younger. Otherwise, great video.
Got it done. Small screws are just a bummer. Glued battery was a pain. Your instructions are excellent though !! Thank you very much !!
Glad to hear! Yeah the screws are tiny. It can even be blown away by just a breath.
Just done it and it worked well. The only thing is that I had some other components that obviously doesn’t correspond to the iPhone 6 (yes, it’s the *iPhone 6 ONLY* kit that I have.)
The over stock is like an interior transparent protection thing with two holes (one round and one oval) that doesn’t go anywhere in any iPhone I recall).
Anyway, the 2600 mAh is PERFECT! Thank you.
Hi Scandi Tech!
First of all, i want to thank you so much!!!
Your battery is very high quality, cheap and the tools u guys provide makes the job super easy!
Even the caveman can do it. :)
Now my iPhone can hold about 9 days in standby mode and when i play games or watch HD movies, it can hold up to 17 hours... ;)
My old battery was 3 years old and had about 750 charging cycles and the phone was shutting down when it reaches about 25 - 30%, which was driving me nuts! At best it can hold about 5 - 7 hours on high use and about 3 days on the standby.
Yeah i know not bad for the 3 year old battery, but i know how to charge my batteries, that's why they last a long time... :)
Anyways i order your "Battery kit" with all the tools included and it took me about 25 - 30 minutes to replace the battery.
The glue on the battery was super easy to remove, because what i did is pull the tape a little bit and then use my hair dryer to heat up the glue a little more and little by little, both tapes came off very easy and the battery just popped out, No force necessary. I did remove the screen, becuse it makes the job much easier and u don't have to worry damaging any connections that goes to the screen.
Me as the computer administrator, that fixes all kinds of computer and the cell phones. Highly recommend this seller and his products.
Good job and keep up the good work! ;)
Cheers
Thank you for your very detail video, I will try it on my old iphone 6 which keeps on running out of battery while using it. I already have iPhone 10 now but sometime need to go back to use my second phone for something.
Did it. One of the better tuts. When done, my flashlight/back camera wasn't working. Opened it back up and whoops. I had inadvertently unplugged the camera. Easy to do by accident. It's the 5th connector.
On all the millions of video here, your the more detail on how to remove the battery which is the hardest part. Thank you
I like folding duct tape over on itself (so it's a sticky circle) stick it and flatten it to the table, then you can stick the screws to it in the right pattern and they stay where you put them real good. No fear of coughing, sneezing or bumping them off.
A perfect suggestion!
I guess nobody's ever heard of 3M Command Adhesive strips.
I know this video is pretty old now, but i successfully replaced my phone battery! Great video, I didn’t remove screen to avoid the potential of losing anything. Battery works great and my iPhone 6 should hopefully last just one more year😂
This was a very helpful video, and your product on amazon was very reasonable. I just fixed my iPhone 6 for $25 when it wouldn't hold a charge. Thanks!!!
Thanks for posting this. I could not have done this without your video. Got it right the first time following your instructions. Kudos. To anyone who does this, get a strong set of magnifying glasses since the screws are tiny.
Thanks!
Great directions. The battery I purchased did not have a magnetic screwdriver. OMG took forever to replace screws. Mission accomplished! Tx
Everything went exactly according to the video. My only suggestion is that it was hard to tell which side of the new adhesive strips faced down. We reversed it accidentally so the ends of the strips did not stick to the phone, although this did not present a problem. I wonder if it would be easier to apply the adhesive strips to the battery first. (Apologies. I see this same comment was made below). Thanks for a great product and excellent support!
Hello John,
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, indeed. The part showing the application of the adhesive is not very clear. We made a new video for this process alone. Please see here:
th-cam.com/video/CrTDzkF6wvg/w-d-xo.html
This should be much clearer :-).

ScandiTech
I would recommend finding a small magnet and sticking it to your screwdriver. Now your screwdrivers magnetic. Take the magnet off and it's no longer magnetic. I always keep a few magnets of various sizes sticking to my fridge. It's also handy when you lose a small screw on the floor.
Hi Richard,
Very good suggestion!
-John
Great video. My only nitpick was the adhesive under the battery. It took me quite a while to get it off. I ultimately had to force the battery out because the adhesive kept breaking and never could pull them out with ease. Other than that, everything else went smoothly.
The heating part is really something that could be avoided, I guess?
I've just completed the replacement of iPhone 8 battery and I just pulled the tabs and then used a credit card to lift it up. Worked fine. I assume that iPhone 6 battery replacement process was not much more complex, but that's just a guess.
There are instances where the battery adhesives are just stuck in there. Loosening it really helps.
@@ScandiTech Got it. I still like heating is not always a good suggestion here. It might help or it might damage stuff
This is definitely one of the best video regarding battery change.
Just repaired my phone! It was a little touch and go there when the adhesive strips both broke so i had to pry the battery out with the tweezers and then i almost lost a screw when putting everything back together, but in the end everything worked out perfectly I'm so happy
I will also never do that again it was too much work
Hi there,
The process can get really troublesome because of the adhesives. When the adhesives break, try to soften it first by applying heat before prying the battery out. It can be much easier if the adhesive is softened.
And yes, the screws are tiny and can be easily lost. It can also be blown by our own breath or any gust of wind. Which is why it is recommended to secure the screws as these are also sized differently.
Overall, I'm glad to know that the replacement was a success.
Cheers!
Superb and highly informative video. No background noise, distracting graphics or unnecessary adlibbing. Just straight to the point from A to Z, and it worked perfectly for me.
If there was one thing I would add is to use plastic tweezers or pry tools when trying to remove the old battery. Usually on the battery there's a warning about the risk of explosion if the battery is accidentally pierced, especially by a metallic tool. I also wore safety goggles for removing the battery just as an extra precaution. You don't have to wear goggles if you don't want to. But there is always a risk when poking around trying to remove something as potentially dangerous as this.
Thanks so much
The battery works great. The tools are really nice and worked very well. Great product! However, the only issue I had was the new battery connector was not bent exactly as it needs to be to fit in properly and I had to figure out how to bend it so it would fit. Once I figured it out it was not a problem but there was nothing in the instruction about this. Anyone who does want to change their iPhone battery them self should note that getting the old battery out is not easy since it is glued in and unless you have decent mechanical skills you might ruin your phone. If you are under the impression that this is as easy as popping out the old battery and popping in a new one you may want to take you phone to the Apple store and pay for the battery replacement.
Hello Jon,
I'm happy to hear that you managed to replace your battery. I see. In most cases, the battery does arrive with its connector in the right angle. However, during shipping and warehouse handling the battery tend to move about in the package and because of this, the connector might now always have that perfect 90 degree angle. Either way, I'm glad you figured it out on your own.
You are absolutely correct. The battery replacement is not a risk free process. We try to warn about this wherever it's appropriate. We also recommend all potential customers to read and watch our guide before considering taking on a project like this. 95% of our customers manage to replace their batteries without any issues, but as you said, this is not for everyone.

ScandiTech
Thank you for this beautifully narrated, shot, and transcribed how-to video! You’re an excellent communicator! Do you have instructions for an iPhone7 (Small versión) battery removal?
Hi there,
Thanks! We try to make sure that everybody understands the process regardless the technical level.
Here is our iPhone7 guide: th-cam.com/video/h7JdnGM8gWM/w-d-xo.html
Cheers!
one of the best iphone 6 vids...lots of helpful tips n reminders
Nice job very thorough and easy to learn because your timing was done very well, easy for people to follow along and understand every step.
What problems? this was a great video and it's as easy as it shows. I myself had the end of the old glue strip break but was able to grab just enough with the tweezers to get a hold of it and it came right out. Stuff is wierd, it's rubber.....
Just repaired my girlfriends phone! Guess I'm getting lucky this weekend! Thanks!!
getting lucky is great….!!!! Lol
Don’t overwhelm !!
Omg same
You should be getting lucky regardless, but good points scored.
@@LandersWorkshop This was two years ago lol
It's already 2021 but this video is still very helpful. Thanks to this in depth tutorial I was able to successfully fix my old phone.
This video helped my battery swap out to go smoothly. Even managed to do it easily without needing to remove the screen from the back-plate.
Inside of my iPhone 6 Plus (it was one of the first) was a little different re screws on plates but your video was an immense help - thanks
I used a piece of duct tape in a paper plate to keep my screws order. Had no issues with replacing the battery.
Phil Maxfield good idea
Coop,i got that from jerryrigeverything
Edit:i mean cool
I thought this video was incredibly helpful and allowed me to successfully change my battery here in a country where none are available even if I wanted to pay someone to do it. However, I would like to add a small comment. When I got to the point of sticking down the tape I erred with the correct side up. This is almost a non-issue but the ":grab tabs" at the end of the tape weren't correct and there was a small amount of "sticky" facing up, not down which would allow for the tabs to lay down and stick to the battery. It worked any way but I thought it was worth mentioning.
Hi Karl,
Awesome! We love feedback as it helps us improve. We'll take your feedback into serious consideration.
Cheers!
Thanks for the video... I changed the battery in my Iphone 5 a couple of years ago (when the phone was about 18 months old... which is the same story with this 6... assuming that's when the batteries go to shit) so I had an idea how to go about it.... FYI guys DO NOT pry too hard trying to free the battery!!! I poked through the coating of the battery caused it to arc to itself two separate times.... when I finally pulled the battery up about half of its protective layer stayed glued to the phone case... so please be careful! Luckily my phone still works just fine with the new battery. Took me about 20 minutes to complete the swap, and my phone had never been apart before tonight.
This is a helpful video but I think that the adhesive strips should be placed on the battery so when the adhesive is folded over, it sticks to the battery like the original strips were installed.
You don't have to heat up the battery to remove strips. Just pull them straight out at about a 40 degree angle, slow and careful and they come right now. No need to "pull around corner", just pull straight.
That is what I was thinking; they look like the ones you install on the wall to hang photos and then remove by pulling up. Probably made by 3m also.
11:19 nice rhyme
Is the adhesive necessary
Did not remove screen, had wife hold screen at 90 degree angle to phone. Heated back with hair dryer, both tabs broke off on adhesive; maybe did not heat up enough . Had to really heat back of phone up and pry battery up bending old battery. Can't understand why such strong adhesive. As stated in video, keep screws separated and away from work area because hair dryer will blow them and you will spend more time looking for them . I had no problem. Excellent video.
Thanks, but i messed up on those strips tho 😅
Thank you so much for your video! there was a scaring second there when the adhesive decided to bunch together in places but i was done with this (i was getting very frustated) so i put the strips in anyways and it seemed to work fine
I installed the new battery without those ultra sticky tape strips. No need for those anyway, the battery fits snug on it's own. Plus, the old phones years ago didn't have the batteries taped in, there is no need.
Great video, guys. However, in my case the glue tabs broke off at the very start, and I think my leverage and use of hairdryer must have affected something, as my phone as that ghosting, and it doesn’t respond to the finger control. But why does Apple have to glue the battery in place, where Samsung doesn’t? Back to my old Samsung then!
Thank you, I just replaced my old iPhone 6 battery. Very helpful
Very very useful, tho i failed with the screws and messed up my touch and LCD screen, but learnt a lot. Thanks!
success!! had an issue with adhesives but heated up until i was able to remove them Thank you!
I just watched the replacement vid on ifixit, all she did to remove the adhesive was to pull straight back from the tabs, then work them around the side of the battery slowly pulling all the time. Just like removing a "Command Strip".
HAH! Thank you so much for this video. Although I didn't use your product (sorry), I managed to revive my niece's iPhone 6. Thank you so much!
Excellent! I watched a number of these videos and this was the best, by far!
This is the best video on the battery removal process. Great job!
ComputerTek Repair Services I disagree. The ifixit one is better quality.
My battery will be on 80% and then 5 mins later will be on 6%. Does changing the battery help?
Awesome Video!! I bought the battery along with the kit. You video to the T. is awesome, very tediious work with the screws, especially for someone with eye problems. My neck is killing me LOL. Def. worth the price rather then constantly paying apple and kiosks for their products and services. Thanks Guy!!
Great Video. Best one I've seen for doing this! Thanks!
i was thinking of fixing my electronics and i went and bought a screws box and a battery and i tried to replace it but it turned to be the new one was broken i tried to charge to see if it empty but it wasnt so i opened my ps4 and i was going to clean it from inside and replace the thermal paste but on of the clips was old and dry so when i pulled it i broke it then i took the ps4 to the electrics shop and got it fix :)
and all of this i still want to learn how to fix items instead of throw it away
so thanx for your videos
Excellent video, i just changed my iphone´s battery myself and its working perfectly, hope my 3 year-old phone will last another 2 years hehe.
i just finished changing my iPhone 6 battery ....... Thanks a lot for this Video it helped me to change it easily with out any damages
Successful repair! Great Battery! One question, when I put the battery in, i put it all the way to right against the logic board. I was still able able to connect the battery, but will this cause any issues later on?
Hello there,
No. You should be OK. We recommend spacing the battery in the middle of the back assembly to let it have a bit of "breathing room" on both sides. However, even if the battery is directly adjacent to either side of the phone, it will not cause any harm.
Regards,
ScandiTech
Very nice and great care taken when replacing the battery. I would want you to replace the battery on my phone!
Gave it a like but i do wish there was more on the blow dry your phone part, lmao. I didn't have a heat gun and just wasn't really sure how long to heat it up, how close to hold it to the phone and so on. I managed to get the job done and phone worked perfect after, just would have spent ab 30mins less with a little more instruction regarding the adhesives. Thanks a lot for the help though :) Now i can hopefully get a little money for this phone to go toward the upgrade :D
Great kit. Video was instructive, but has you incorrectly place the sticky strips on the phone, not the battery. It then says, "...it might not stick, that's ok." It doesn't stick because it is upside down! I found that out too late. Also, the screen gasket is completely ignored. Had to watch some other vids to find out what to do there, then go back, take it all apart again and put that on. Wish I had watched some other videos as well beforehand!
Same here !!
Great Video! I found this very helpful. I've changed two batteries now. Thanks!
What do i do with this blue waterproof adhesive sheet thing?
Thanks.. ur guide was spot on... how to I contribute to ur channel.... patrron,etc?
Do you need to charge it once you change it or wait for it to go at least below 10% to charge it?
I used doubles sided tape and placed the screws head side down and pressed firmly and it held nicely
The kit and video are excellent. Thank you. Helpful hint...If you wear glasses, wear them. Don’t drink a strong cup of of coffee before doing this! 👋
can you do a video on battery replacement for iPhone 14?
I used a guitar trigger capo to hold the screen and it worked great
I just bought your replacement battery and will be tackling this very soon. Just curious why in your video demo the replacement battery is an apple battery and not one of yours. You had one in the kit at the beginning, why not use it for the replacement video?
Hello Jim,
Thank you for your comment.
We sometimes use props or old batteries in our videos. You see, our batteries are not stored in the same office we make our videos, hence we do not have direct access to our own inventory. It's a bit silly, I know. In some cases we've also make our videos prior to officially launching our battery kits. This means we haven't had our own batteries ready when putting the video online.
Regards,
ScandiTech
Really great video. All the necessities and no baloney. Helped me just right!
