Making use of the ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxcJ22tnHH9l1vjdIdEIG27iOG55P7LXI8 reconditioning plan, I just saved 2 auto batteries from being completely junked. The guides were very simple to follow. I wish I would have found this years ago! You may use the guide to recondition any battery type
Although a very detailed and comprehensive video, I would suggest that there is no need to remove the screen and risk breaking other connectors. I used an old book end (or anything similar will work) and put an elastic band around it and the LCD to keep the LCD up at 90 degrees while working on battery. This also prevents possible error of connecting battery in wrong sequence with screen and shorting your screen, which it seems many people have done.. Just changed battery in my son's 6s a few minutes ago for first time ever and took me less than 10 mins without having to remove the LCD screen.
Hi there, Thanks for the suggestion. We did mention a few steps to do this and one is letting the screen lean on to something secure and stable. It will all boil down on which method one is comfortable in using. We have discussed this in our guide at www.scandi.tech -John
Your "book end" technique made replacement much easier for me. I taped a cloth round a metal bookend so it wouldn't scratch the screen or back, then taped the screen to the bookend (regular or blue tape, not Gorilla or other superstrength tapes). From there it was easy.
Thank you for the thorough and clear instructions! I would have liked a little explanation on what to aim for in the heat range for the adhesive, and some mention of the gasket would have been nice. However, I was able to successfully replace my battery, fairly easily thanks to this video.
Excellent guide. Pulling the adhesive strips didn't really work for me, I just had to keep applying heat and work the battery up a little at a time. Thanks guys, very good! 10/10.
Thanks it was really well explained, I succeeded ! I liked the zoom when you remove the display, other vids don't show that as clearly. I only had a bit of trouble when replacing the battery as the connector wasn't "bent" like the original one, i had to bend it a bit. And also when replacing the display, i found it easier to bring the display towards me (like 70 degrees angle) to put the metal plate back, at a 90 degrees angle it was too hard.
Manufacturers don't recommend heating the back of the phone, the tape wlll come out cleanly if you just pull straight out toward the home button and up at a less than 60º angle to the phone. Prying can damage the battery and potentially cause a fire -- see "t-pain" below! Blessings!
Thanks for the nice professional demo. My screen was impossible (nearly impossible) to open. The 6s was released in September of 2015 and in April 2020 we are getting close to 5 years old, and when I finally, carefully, frustratingly got it open, it had a stock, untouched, original Apple battery. The pull tabs for the adhesive strips were NOT folded towards the bottom for easy access, they were wrapped up over the battery towards the top of the phone, and the black "end" of the white tabs covered and hid the adhesive tabs really well - I didn't recognize them at first. Unlike in your video, one I had uncovered the white strips I just pulled them straight out and though they got really really long didn't snap and break on me. From there replacement was a breeze. I used the "book end" method described by Lucarvian in the comments to keep the screen from exceeding the 90 degree limit. I note that some other installers who remove the screen cables advise NOT pushing on the connectors at the middle, only from one end then the other end otherwise the screens have problems (in your video you did have problems but removing and replacing fixed them). Positioning the battery is a little tricky. The replacement adhesive strips are really grippy and don't allow repositioning. So I tried connecting the battery using the adhesive strips just to know where in the slightly oversized battery slot the battery should be replaced. Unfortunately I didn't position the adhesive strips correctly - I put them in upside down. When installed correctly, the removal tabs should be accessible on top (hence, wrapped around the bottom of the battery and barely extending over the front edge) for future replacements. Guess any future battery replacement will have to be "brute force".
Hi Michael, Sounds like you had fun with the little DIY project. It's nice that, despite the age of your phone, the adhesives were easy to remove. Some devices tend to have stubborn adhesives. The 90 degree method works as long as the object the screen is leaning on is stable and the phone screen is secured. The only thing to keep in mind is to make sure that the flex cables are not stretched or folded. The slightest tension could potentially damage the phone screen. This is why we recommend removing the phone screen to prevent issues and also to make the whole process worry-free.
I watched several videos - if I could only watch one, this would be it. Definitely disconnect and remove the top half ( with screen) of the phone before removing battery as quite a bit of handling of the bottom half can be needed to get the battery out.
Thank you for the wonderful video! I have replaced my battery and charger port, but why my water damaged iPhone 6 still not working? Do you have any suggestions? Thank you!
Thank you. Worked a treat. I lost a screw even though I had a magnetic mat. I'd recommend keeping the screws in order, and well away from the work surface.
Hi there, Which screw was it? These are so tiny that even a slight gust from your breath can blow one away. You can probably ask for one screw from a local repair shop. They'd probably give it for free. ha!
so uh i just did this repair and i was putting the screen back like the cables and i tried to see if the phone would work and it booted up and then all the sudden the screen went black i could still see the apple logo but it had big black bars going through anyone know if i messed it up permanently or should i just keep trying to disconnect the cables and reconnect them
so i just replaced the battery with no problem but when i turn the phone on it’s the boot up screen for apple not telling me to charge it or anything of that sort. should i just wait or should i try something else
Hi there, I'm sorry to hear about the problem after the replacement. It could be due to a damaged flex cable. Please contact support for further assistance.
You make it too complicated just unscrew the 2 screws bottom then straight pull the adhesive on battery done no heat gun needed I replaced mine in less than 5 minutes
Hi there, Thank you for leaving a comment. Yes, the adhesive can be pulled straight out albeit gently but there are times where the adhesive is stubborn. This is where the heat gun comes in. It softens the adhesives so that it can be pulled out easier.
Hi there, Thank you for leaving a comment. The battery connector will still be able to fit flush in the port even if the battery sits on top of the old one.
Hi there, Are you in the testing phase? If so, you don't really need to close the phone when testing. We just need to see if the new battery is working. Once the new battery (still sitting on top of the old) has been connected to the phone, turn on the device and check if the screen and all its functions are working. If confirmed working, you can turn off the phone and continue with the process. You do not have to completely close the device during testing.
*My wife's iphone 6 plus earphone audio was problem free until I changed the depleted battery. The iphone is fine and functioning in every respect with the new battery except in 2 respects. (1) The earphone speaker sound stops intermittently and has cracking sound. The volume controls are not functioning as normal. (2) On a few occasions, temperature warning came on and I had to turn off the phone. Does anybody know what I might have done wrong when changing the battery? I have tried reconnecting the display to ensure proper contacts but the audio problem remains.*
Hi there, Thank you for asking. We don't usually check the exact temperature but as a rule of thumb, if it is HOT to touch, you are heating it too much. The adhesives soften quickly and do not need long exposures to heat. Regards, John Scandi Tech
Thank you. There are several methods on how to do this as sometimes the adhesives can get stubborn. We discussed these methods in our complete guide at www.scandi.tech
Removing all those upper connectors is a recipe for disaster. I use a metal, 90d bookend with an elastic band to hold the screen up vertically at 90d. I only need to remove the battery plate. I then warm the phone with a wheat pack heated in the microwave, then slowly, the battery can be leveraged out using a flat edge.

Same here.
great video it made removing and installing a new battery easier

I got lucky battery was heating after trying to remove it. I guess is better with battery dead or no charge. Thanks for video

Thank you for such a great video! I have replaced successfully my battery thanks to your excellent explanations.
Hi there,
You're welcome and Congratulations!
Thank you so much this helped a lot. My phone is fixed thanks to you.
Thanks for the video changed my battery exactly how you did it for 20 from amazon and they gave me 2 batteries
Thank you for the wonderful video! I have replaced my battery and charger port, but why my water damaged iPhone 6 still not working? Do you have any suggestions? Thank you!
Because of fried components
maconcc new phone

Bro this is by far the best video, excellent.
Appreciate that
Byfar the best turtorial.
Very cool but it might be worth it for me to have someone else do it. Only 20 or 30 more for worry free, but i enjoyed watching the whole process
Thanks for showing me , that is very helpful.
very comprehensive, thanks
Thanks. It's done
what if you don't have a hair dryer for the adhesive?????
and what if you don't have adhesive strips ._.
so uh i just did this repair and i was putting the screen back like the cables and i tried to see if the phone would work and it booted up and then all the sudden the screen went black i could still see the apple logo but it had big black bars going through anyone know if i messed it up permanently or should i just keep trying to disconnect the cables and reconnect them
Is there any reason you don’t remove the Taptic Engine? It would enable you to pull the adhesive strips straight out if you did
Hi there,
There is no particular reason to remove the taptic engine as the adhesives can still be pulled out with it still installed.
so i just replaced the battery with no problem but when i turn the phone on it’s the boot up screen for apple not telling me to charge it or anything of that sort. should i just wait or should i try something else
Hi there,
I'm sorry to hear about the problem after the replacement. It could be due to a damaged flex cable. Please contact support for further assistance.
Very helpful and detailed
Glad it was helpful!

Straight pull is the key. It stretches...just keep pulling! 😂
No explanation on how you got the other battery connector to lay flat while placing the new battery on top to connect.
Hi there,
Thank you for leaving a comment. The battery connector will still be able to fit flush in the port even if the battery sits on top of the old one.
You are supposed to pull the tabs out parallel to the phone, not sideways, thats why the second one broke.
Please advise. I placed the new battery on top of the old one and now I can't close the device successfully.
Hi there,
Are you in the testing phase? If so, you don't really need to close the phone when testing. We just need to see if the new battery is working.

1 надо снимать вибро мотор (он рядом с язычками скотча)
2 периметр корпуса надо проклеивать.

What Temp should the Heat Gun be at ?

The pull tabs are so weak..... Have to pry now
Yo this dude is so careful he must polish his bed sheets or something
You sound like DetroitBorg
They are making it complicated than it should, anyone remember Nokia cellphones where you can take off the battery within seconds?
Dude, watch the other guys video, all you do is pull the tabs straight out the bottom, not around the corners
Thank you. There are several methods on how to do this as sometimes the adhesives can get stubborn. We discussed these methods in our complete guide at www.scandi.tech
forget to tell about the glue, BY PURPOSE???
Hahae so good
😂 enjoy your new battery
