IF YOUR BATTERY IS STUCK IN THE PHONE. YOU CAN HEAT IT UP FROM THE BACK WITH A HAIR DRYER TO HELP LOOSEN UP THE GLUE.
READ THE COMMENTS IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS! MANY PEOPLE FIND THIS PROJECT TO BE VERY DIFFICULT! ATTEMPT THIS PROJECT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
If your battery dies quickly or if the charge doesn't last very long in your iPhone, you can very easily replace it yourself. There are only 4 screws you need to remove. If you have any questions be sure to ask them in the comments.
READ THIS:
I should have mentioned that it is more difficult to remove the battery than I show in the video. I had done it once before I started recording, so the glue holding the battery in has already been unstuck one time. That first time is a doozy. You gotta pull, and pry.... I used that long red plastic tool to get the battery unstuck as the pull tab would probably have broken.

Alex Smith he's so adorable
Apple: "Wait, that's illegal"
Thank you very much. I did it myself and i am chuffed ,69 is a good age for learning things. It took me more than 2 minutes but i got there in the end, even with my shaky hands.
+Sylvia Robson Nice!! Good job with the repair!
+Sylvia Robson lol 69 look that up
+GlassPottato looooooooooooooooool
ayyy lmao
Hi granny how you doin' ? :)
I love how straightforward your videos are. You lay everything out with no bullshit, which I appreciate. Also, your voice is quite soothing, lol.
+Ghost Hey Thanks! Glad you enjoy the videos. Comments like yours are the best.
Thanks so very much sir!! You’re not only a good instructor. Short, brief to the point, without going rounds. The world we live in needs people like you!!! God bless you in all you put your hands to do!!!!
This is the BEST video to use to replace your iPhone 5 battery. I watched another one that had you unscrewing three more screws on the inner part of the phone--TOTALLY unnecessary. Those little screws in the phone are so teeny, teeny tiny--the fewer screws you have to mess with, the better off you are! Thank you so much for taking time to post this video.
pamela williams No problem! Glad I was able to help you out!
Worked perfectly, this is great. Thanks man. I bought a complete repair kit that came with the battery, screwdrivers, and prying tool for $20 on Amazon. Took me about 10 minutes - 5 spent annoyed with those microscopic screws - but my iPhone now works like new. Read the alarming comments about the battery smoking afterwards. I didn't have this problem but I will be very careful with how I dispose of it.
This helped me a lot to swap out the old battery on my i-Phone 5. I'm probably 2 or 3 times older than many of the posters here so the internal phillips head screws were challenging, and the advice about using a blow dryer (set on low) to slightly heat the back of the phone helped loosen up the battery glue very effectively. I greatly appreciate that you posted this really good tutorial here, Jerry, as well as all the people who commented and helped with the blow dryer trick. Phone is charging as I write.
Peace,
Rod
Thanks man, you've just saved me over $120 if apple were to do it for me.
Heck ya! Thats what I like to hear.
many hugs Jerry (y)
Damn.! I wish i had subscribed to you earlier!
Same!! I still need a new battery and I'm gonna buy a 2800MAh one with tools included, so that's cool.
does it really cost that much? lmao I sourced the battery+tools from china for 5$ and did this in 10 minutes.
Ah yes, the last iphone without the evil battery pull tabs
Just double-sided adhesive strip.
This 10 years old video just saved my life..
Now that is a perfect fix-it video! Calm, to the point, and saves each of us at least $60 and as much as $120. Thank you so much!
Fantastic guide mate. Followed your instructions and saved me a small fortune!
The only tricky part I came across was getting the screen off but with a little bit of moving the suction pull tool (which I got with the battery I purchased from Amazon) I was able to replace the battery just fine.
Thanks again.
Thanks for this video. It looks much easier than it is. In fact, you should maybe add a comment that when you replace the battery for the first time, it is stuck (I read in the comment). BUT it is important to pry it from the left side and not where the electronics are.... I damaged my motherboard by prying from the right side and now the off- and home-button are not working anymore.... Just a little comment could have prevented that...
Thank you
Omg! Thank you for your comment. Both my pry sticks broke trying to get it out. After I carefully removed it I noticed there’s like a sticky residue underneath. I think may be that’s why it’s so difficult. But anyways thank you for your comment because I was would have probably damaged my phone instead. 🙏🏼
Thanks for the video. Just a note on my Iphone 5. The battery was nowhere near as lose as in the video. Mine had a VERY sticky glue in the back and had to use a flat screw driver as a lever. If this is your case, be patient and go very slowly. Also, very important, try not to lever against the side with all the electronics, but against the one facing the volume buttons. This way you won´t harm your device.
Angelv3007 This is very good advice! Thank you for posting.
Be careful levering towards the volume. Took one apart today first time ever have i broken a phone it bent the case some how.
I just replaced my battery, having enourmus difficulty getting the battery out ... damned glue... Finally got it pryed out and replaced. Now both the power button and the home button stopped working ... I guess I must have pryed too heavily towards the sensitive electronics :-(
When I pried the battery out from the bottom corner it lit up and released smoke. Sounded like a lit up match. First time I see that kind of reaction. Battery is not damaged in any way, not pierced, bent, or anything. The iPhone was dropped in water and is dead.
Thanks Jerry, your video really helped me in quickly replacing my iPhone 5 battery. Specifically I like that the fact that your video cover only the bare minimum required steps. I saw couple of other videos too but they all were talking about completely detaching the screen, due to which the complete process was looking a little bit complicated.
But your video made it simple for me by only covering the battery replacement steps.
Great job Jerry. Left this job (procrastinated)for a month after I received my new battery. Then with your instructions was a piece of cake. Never seen screws that small!!
SUCCESS!!!! ordered the tools from your top link, but realized they didn't include a mini philips head. so had to find that in the neighborhood tool stores. keep in mind people, i love taking things apart and have been doing it since i was a kid, so if you are not detail oriented and used to working with tiny parts and precision tools, BEWARE! The top glass was very difficult to get loose, so you gotta keep prying the sides while pulling on the suction grasp tool till you get it to lift, then slowly pry around the phones bottom area to get it to lift slowly. The tiny screws were a bitch if they fly off. They are very easy to lose, so try to use magnetic tools and have a little bin to place your tiny screws in!!! the toolkit had a tweezer that was useful, but be careful cause if you have a bogus grip, the tiny screw will flip away into oblivion!!! The battery was stuck, but carefully and slowly pry with the plastic pry tools away from the electronics side. it will eventually loosen. Dig under it with the pry tools to lift it out. there is a small plastic tab you can lift for the battery, but that will not work 100%, so you need to pry slowly and carefully. BE PATIENT!!! putting the top back on was a bit tough too. make sure to get the top part completely seated first, then work your way down with light pressure until all sides of phone is securely seated. FYI......this will not take 2 min...take your time, be organized and be very patient! it took me about an half hour.......GOOD LUCK PEEPS! thank you JERRY!
Perfect. All the thumbs down are jealous people who didn't think to make this simple and effective video first.
Thanks for your hard work.
Um not jealous!! my battery is fucking stuck - its not as easy as it looks. There is a hole in my battery and now smoke is coming out like that did not happen in this video!
+Kelly H a hole and smoke? What the heck did you dooo?????
Just pry it out XD
Great video thank you! I recommend asking someone to hold the suction tool while you prise off the screen - makes it a lot easier! Also my battery was stuck down too, but the hair dryer worked a trick with a level on the side next to the volume buttons.
Hey dude, just wanted to thank you for your help. Watched a few of your videos and decided to practise on my brother's bricked iPhone 5. Changed the battery successfully but it didn't want to charge so I ordered up the charging port and successfully changed that too. Couldn't have done so without your very quality videos and now a phone that was laying in a drawer can be given to my mother for Christmas (so long as she can bare to stop using her old Sagem clamshell phone...). Only trouble with it now is the power button. Anyway, thanks again.
Thank yo so much, I bought the HoneyBull replacement battery and kit and followed these simple instructions! Now my iphone 5 is working again :D
Why? Why 365 people didn't like this video?? One of the best 'how to' video - very helpful thank you!
+Gil Raz Thank you! Im glad it was able to help you out.
+Gil Raz Because they don't like iphone/are trolls/whiney fools. Every public video on youtube werether good or not is plagued by dislikes.
+Gil Raz Because they are not creative people and usually they are people not willing to learn.
Because the video is fake.
Where is the home button cable at 0:43 ?
The white adhesive strips also disappeared at 1:18.
If someone follows this tutorial and opens the phone with the same technique, the home button cable will break which will have to be replaced.
Rigó Máté Zoltán lol
Tutorial is concise and accurate. Replaced the battery in 5 minutes. The adhesive is strong but came off easy with a plastic prying tool. I only pried from between the left edge of the phone (home button on bottom) and the left edge of the battery, gently lifting a bit at a time.
Really helpful! I didn't have to use the plastic tab underneath the battery, just gently loosened it from all sides with the tools and a plastic card. Worked just as well, thanks again!
Hah, I don't even need to pry the screen open, the bloated battery already does that for me!
Have the same problem just noticed today. Not sure what to do. don't wan tot break it. wouldn't mind a new phone.
this comment is too real lmaoooo
heh. I did. All went well till my home button stopped working. Then I ried to take off screen and it would only take off half and soooo I bought an SE instead RIP.
lol
I have a very swollen battery in my iPhone 5 and still using it to this day... It's on the verge of exploding in my face
Thanks for making the video. I found it particularly helpful to view what was underneath the battery. Warming the glue up really helps in the process of removing the battery but no one seems to mention to warm it from the back of the phone (or at least I didn't read anything as specific), at first I was trying to warm the battery up so the glue would then warm up, that didn't seem to be having much of an effect, but once I warmed the back of the phone the glue started to get loose very fast and I could remove the battery in a minute or two. Now I have a new battery working and there seems to be no damage done.
Osiris Giovanni Salazar Nice! thanks for your comment and the tips. Glad your phone is working again!
how did you warm the back of your phone?
Jeffrey Newton You could use a blow dryer. Since I didn't have a blow dryer I borrowed a heat gun. If you've ever used your phone in a resource intensive manner you may have noticed the back starts to warm up, just warm it up to a similar temperature as this. Just try not to get carried away, make it warm not hot.
Jeffrey Newton Good tips! Thanks for commenting.
Good eyesight is a must! Most difficult part for me was replacing the tiny screws! Many thanks for making it look so easy.
You have become my new hero... thank you so much... astoundingly straight forward... once I had actually purchased the right battery for my iPhone 5 (anyone need an iPhone 5s battery?)
My original battery was glued fast in the iPhone too but I carefully kept my patience and eventually got it out, albeit was not in great condition afterwards. Jerry thank you for saving me much pain and money... genuine legend!!!
Your voice is so soothing! Going to replace mine now.. :/ lol Thanks for vid!
+EmmaWoodallART worked?
+Ma G Yes it did! Used a credit card under the clear tab to help slide the battery out. xx
+EmmaWoodallART Can you give me a good reason why not upgrading to an iphone 6s instead of going through the hassle?
+Blitz Burner $$
Vicki Palma yeah but a battery cost 50 bucks.
This was quite helpful but took me an hour since it was my first time, and I didn't have the magnetized screwdriver like the OP. One thing to keep in mind is that you might have your battery glued on which will take a little more time.
Nonetheless, this video was still helpful. Thanks, dude!
Your instructions and the video were great and worked perfectly for me. I was able to replace the battery in under 10 minutes without difficulty, and without any other instructions except your video. Removing the battery was not too difficult either: just had to patiently and slowly pry it up bit-by-bit with the tools, did not have to force it at all. Thanks so much for the great instructions.
And don't keep prying the battery up in one spot try to lift, patiently keep moving the prying tool up and down the length of the battery using small amount of force at each spot. It will give only a little at each spot, but then the glue will start to peel off through out the length of the battery, and the whole will pry off easily at that point.
Just replaced my iPhone 5 battery using your video and the toolkit and pry tool you linked to. The link for the battery showed it out of stock so I ordered one from Amazon. The hardest part was getting the glass cover off. The suction cup in the toolkit didn't have enough pull. You do mention that the larger the better as far as suction cups go so we picked up a larger one at the hardware store. Couldn't get the pry tool in easily so we used the razor blade just enough to loosen it a little, then used the green pry tool after that point. The screws came out easily. (They are SO small, be careful!). We used the green pry tool again to pry the battery loose as it was stuck on with some adhesive. No big deal but worth knowing about. The connector on our replacement battery from Scanditech looked a little different from the original connector but it fit fine. Putting the teeny screws back in takes a steady hand and a good eye. We used a magnifying glass. Popping the cover back down is easy. Checked the battery immediately with the Battery Life app from the App store and it showed "very good" under the wear indicator. My five year old original battery had been showing "very poor". It just didn't have the capacity anymore. So all went well, only took about ten minutes start to finish. We're both in our sixties. You can do this! Thank you so much for the video. The one thing I would want others to realize is that the cover does not come off in real life as it does in this video. At least ours didn't. Use the razor blade first! Oh, and you need three hands. One to hold the cover at a ninety degree angle. This is not a one man job!
Makes me want to slap anyone who has a 20 minute video showing the same thing.
+Joshua Smith My thoughts exactly! lol, I would never make a video that I wouldn't want to sit and watch myself. My own attention span incredibly short. Aint nobody got time for no 20 minute video.
Damn rite. Im nominating you for president.
+Joshua Smith haha... totally agree..
Joshua Sm
And slap the hell outta them lol 😂
Thanks for the video! I just ordered a battery through your link, and I ordered their toolkit as well. Keeping all the fingers crossed I can do this! I live in AZ so the back of the phone heating up won't be a problem, I'll just go stand outside for a minute.
I've had my iPhone 5 since November 2012. The battery basically turned to shit about May 2014. But I never had it off the charger for long so I didn't notice it so much until I flew to San Francisco in July and the phone actually died while I was sitting at the airport. It only took 4 hours!! And I wasn't even using it constantly. I had to plug it into my laptop on the plane to recharge.
Then it died twice more walking around San Francisco. I'm glad I brought the car charger with me!!
Yesterday I went to the Verizon store and asked if they had replacement batteries...the girl actually said to me, "I don't think iPhones have batteries." Uhhh.... what?!?! Then she said, "I mean, it's on the inside." Again, WTF?!?!? I turned around and walked out. Could not believe what she said to me. An actual employee. Oy!
Anyway, I have to travel again in a couple weeks and I can't go through all that phone BS again.
Not that you care about any of this, but eh, I'm just babbling 'cause I'm glad this video is here! So again, THANKS!! :D
lol, I love story time. Have fun swapping it out! The best advice I can give is to go SUPER slow with the screen. You dont want to crack that thing. The replacement screens cost like 50 bucks. (And heating up the back of the phone... which you already know about. Itll help the glue soften up a bit. )
Excellent, thank you! Guide is spot on, I did find however that my original battery was lightly glued down so it did require a very careful prying out
Hi! Thanks for useful instructions! Would like to add though that you should stay away from the middle section when prying the phone open since it is easy to damage the home button or the two delicate contacts on the opposite half. Use the outer section towards the corners. Also keep track of all screws. Very few are identical!
You do not want to deform or puncture the battery. I have a suggestion - only do this with the old battery FULLY DISCHARGED. Here is why i say this. In my case there was no plastic tab to remove the battery as in some phones I have seen on UA-cam as it was stuck down, so I was gently trying to pry it out and the battery got mashed in some sensitive spot and the cursed thing almost set my work bench on fire. No joking. An enormous amount of smoke and fire poured out of my old battery in 5-6 seconds. It was unbelievable. I did manage to throw it out the door to the outside and burned the hell out of my finger. WARNING - if your battery does not come out easily you best stop and not try to pry it out. And don't mash these batteries. They are seriously dangerous if charged. Now I need a new $700 phone as the battery completely burned it up.
The same thing happened to me last week. I think Apple is super gluing them in the case!
As soon as my battery started to spark up, I threw it outside. After the fire (which burned off the glue), I tried the new battery, but it was pointless. The phone is completely dead!
That's the last Apple product for me!
David Behsman Yes, mine sparked just a little bit but I was not smart enough to stop and kept trying. When the damn thing did go off it was big-time. I wish I had my camera recording what happened. In many environments it could have and would have started a house fire. It would have been hell if someone had this happen to them on their bed or a rug or furniture. It is absolutely unacceptable that they glue the battery in so hard. The YT videos don't show this anywhere. God help a poor person if this thing shorted while holding it to their ear. Sorry it happened to you also. There really should be a serious warning stamped on the batteries that are glued in to the phone. Personally, I never liked Apple computers but I have to admit, I do like their phones.
ElPaso TubeAmps thank you. mine has a tab and tried a few times. i was scratching my head as to why removing the battery was so difficult and then decided to read the comments from this tutorial to get clues as to how i can remove it. your comment had me putting the screws back in and closing the phone up without changing the battery. i will not do this now. a word of warning to, to anyone reading this. i purchased a so called 'brand new, genuine iPhone 5 battery replacement (with tools)' from ebay. the tools are a shonk and broke after a few attempts, the battery is aftermarket. the listing i purchased from is 151297056076, the seller is dodygroup. i am returning the item for a refund.
ElPaso TubeAmps They are Lithium-Ion Polymer batteries, there are very dangerous because the chemicals, can burn without air... (oxygen), in other words they are almost impossible to extinguishing in the traditional manner by removing air. I use massive versions of these for my hobby, muti-rotor drones. You must treat these batteries with great respect, never puncture or dispose of them in the regular trash. To dispose of them place them (discharged) in salt water for a couple of days, then dispose.
+khanvictize I tried using the plastic pry bar, and it was useless against the glued in battery. I then used a pair of needle nose pliers, and that's what caused the iPhone battery to ignite.
Great vid mate took me 15 mins but still saved me cash
Damn, in my time it was "time is money". Must be the inflation! :-o
Thanks JerryRigEverything. Bought a kit off an auction site. Followed your simple and easy to understand instructions. Phone workinging sweetly now. The old battery was secured with double sided tape and took some careful prying out. This vid has been a great help.
Just wanted to say thanks for your great video which gave me the courage to try it myself even though I'm 60 yo and eyesight not the best. I did it all with just the tools supplied with the battery for less than $10. No need to do without the phone for more than 20 minutes.
My Iphone 5 for some reason had three locating screws for the battery not two, and was "Glued" into the body which gave me a few anxious moments but your video was clear and positive. Thanks again.
God bless you for this video. My 3 year old dropped/threw my phone (5c) in the potty. My husband just bought it 3 months ago. I dried it out completely but it was acting a little odd. I just changed the battery while the 3 year old napped and its been working for several days now. I am not usually that handy but I followed your instructions exactly and IT WORKED. Husband who is an engineer is very impressed. Thank you Thank you Thank you. Now off to buy a waterproof case. .
Kari Blaise That is awesome! Success stories are the best! Super glad you got it working again.
Yep yep yep. Worked like a charm! Thank you. The only things to watch for are:
1) Battery that is super glued in (use a small flat head screwdriver to gently pry it away little by little working only on the outer edge, towards the volume control side of the phone, not the inside of the phone. You'll hear the battery start to slowly peel away; take your time)
2) The kit I bought on ebay has cheap plastic pry tools which may snap. If you have a similar thin curved metal tool, use that instead. Maybe the razor blade just to start prying the case away and then move to the tool of choice
3) Putting the battery connector plate back in is a bit of a pain with the magnetic phillips since it will magnetize to both the screws and the plate. Try to line the plate up over the holes exactly, get the screws, head first (that's what she said), to seat into the screwdriver and then screw in.
DO NOT EVER use any metal objects to pry out a lithium-ion battery, TheArtOfRepair(ThePhoneGod/Jason) has two REALLY good tutorials on his channel on how to get out both iPhone and Samsung batteries.
Those damn microscopic screws.
Just used this video to replace the battery on my phone! Thanks so much for the clear instructions. It was decently easy. The only tough parts were getting the screen off (just be patient and go slowly) and getting the battery out. The kit I ordered recommended using the blunt end of a pair of tweezers (forceps) as leverage on the "outside" long edge of the battery (the side of the battery that is next to the edge of the casing, not next to the other components) to pry the battery out. This worked great! Thanks for your help!
+Annie Glad I could help out! Good tips for everyone as well. Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial. Took me less than 3 mins. One of the screws on the metal bracket didn't give in so I had to operate rotation of bracket. It worked anyway. Saved at least £25.
I did like very much your instructions, very simmple and elementary...
why is there 123 thumbs down? I repair phones and this is the fastest battery replacement video on here. Thanks man as I just got rid of my 4 and my 5 battery is going dead at 22%
MegaHegira It might be because there is a lot of glue under that battery, so it ends up being harder than people anticipate. Just go slow and make sure not to put pressure on the motherboard.
JerryRigEverything
does the motherboard sit under the battery?
No, there is only glue under the battery. BUT there are cables that run NEXT to the battery, so be careful when you are prying... or you could kill your power/volume buttons.
Just successfully changed my battery :). Thank you. Your video is so easy. I watched a few others and they said you had to remove the screen completely. Also, note to everyone, those screws are tiny! I kept dropping mine but luckily found them each time. Oh, and that screen is not easy to pull up. My little tool kit came with a really cheap suction cup that didn't do what it was designed to do. Luckily I had another one that worked. Still hard though.
Thanks man, your video was perfect. Followed the steps exactly (had to use the razor blade) and everything was smooth. The only difference for me was the battery was glued and needed more convincing than yours did. Thank you for the walkthrough!
Ok so this was a pretty big nightmare to be honest. I've taken apart iPhone 4's before and it was as easy as unscrewing the pentalobes on the bottom and sliding the back panel off to get to the battery, so I was kind of disappointed to learn that I had to go in from the front on the iPhone 5. For starters, I guess Apple did something special on my phone because the suction cup barely even budged the screen (yes I removed the screws from the bottom). It took an industrial suction cup from Home Depot and a fresh razor to wedge in there to pop the screen off. Once I got the screen off, it became a bit easier however. The only difficult part was getting the battery out. The adhesive used is insane, and I didnt have a heat gun or a hair dryer (Hey I'm a guy living alone, I have no need for one lol). I ended up turning my stove top on medium and holding the phone over it for a few seconds at a time so as not to damage it. That eventually helped and I got the battery replaced. It was worth it in the end though, as my phone would die in ~1 hour or less. Now after a full charge and 4 hours later, im sitting pretty at 95% battery. Feels like a new phone again.
Jason Ritter Man your repair process was intense! But thanks for the tips! Hopefully they help anyone else who has the same struggles.
"Something, something, certified personnel, whatever." That's how you make a battery replacement video under 3 minutes. AWESOME 😂😂
I was always concerned about the battery replacement. This was a great video and gives me encouragement to keep my iPhone working. Thank you
Thanks for a great tutorial. You really made it a relatively simple exercise although it did take me a tad longer (er...about half an hour) than you took. 🤓 My battery was also stuck and I had to prise it out gently with the flat head screwdriver but it amazingly didn't catch fire! After reading others' comments I guess I got lucky as apparently if I had made a hole in the casing I could have inadvertently vaporised my phone.
So far I am delighted, just charged my phone and it is all looking good, staying charged and no longer discharging from 50% to zero in a microsecond. 😃 Many thanks Jerry!
You lied.
It took me four minutes.
Thanks, this just saved me from having to take it into crapple.
I did everything you did, but the battery won't come out. I ended up breaking the tab, now idk how to take it out
Thanks so much for this video! After months of avoiding changing my battery, I finally did it today, and this video was extremely helpful and gave me the confidence to do it. Even with a few hiccups (the screen popping off rather than the whole front and the battery being glued down...) the process was fairly smooth. Can't wait for my phone to charge completely and see if the battery I got from amazon was a dud or not! 😂
Brilliant. Beautifully simple instruction, a million thanks sir.
Does it matter if I lost one of those screws that you take off from the inside and just closed it up with the piece and one screw holding it down?
You'll be fine, just make sure nothing is loose inside the phone. If the screw is inside there bouncing around, THEN its a bad thing. But as long as everything is secure, you are ok with fewer screws.
+JerryRigEverything better engineered
How is your battery replacement so easy?? My battery was glued down and was impossible to do it the way you did it
What phone do u have? Just warm up the back with a hair dryer not too much tho and it should be lose
my battery was also completely stuck O.o
use your phone a lot open a ton of games run speed tests and shit until your phone gets hot as fuck so hot it burns your fingers a tad when you touch then power it off open that bad boy up and you'll notice your battery can be pulled up pretty easily as the glue melted a bit or softened at the very least lmao haha
I replaced mine tonight because of this video and the one by Scandi Tech. I spent almost 2 hours trying to get the small plate and it's 2 micro screws and eventually gave up. So I pressed hard on the battery connection and hope it is working fine without the plate. I also hope it does not start a fire.
Tech Defender l
Thanks...it was scary to try it, but it worked! It would have been good to have read the comments about the 'glue' on the back of the battery, but it came out okay.
This is one of the best how to videos I have seen. Everything went well except the battery would not budge. i did everything except take a tire tool to it and finally with a small flat blade screw driver I saw a small crack between the along edge of the battery then it started to move...My son just knew his 73 year old dad had messed up his only link to the world...But everything came out good. Thanks so very much!
i purchased a supposed genuine battery (which it really wasn't). when the battery and tool kit arrived, after much effort, i raised the glass. could not get the battery out. reading notes, i was discouraged by a few youtuber comments re battery sparking, catching fire, destroying phone etc.. so i closed the phone up and sent the battery back for a refund. i returned to this video and comments. ordered a new very genuine battery from ebay listing 301274660075, seller jzha2618. i have now successfully changed the battery with NO problems. here's how:
1. used the suction cup together with prying tool as JerryRigEverything advised.
2. unscrewed everything required as JerryRigEverything advised (important to only raise the glass 45 degrees so that the wires at the top of the phone don't break)
3. used a hairdryer for about 40 seconds on medium heat, blowing from the rear of the phone (NOT ON the battery), to loosen the glue.
4. used the flat head screwdriver supplied in the kit to pry the battery out gently ONLY FROM THE LEFT HAND SIDE, and then used the tab to raise and remove the battery.
5. plugged the new battery in as advised by JerryRigEverything.
6. rescrewed all necessary screws and brackets.
7. placed phone on charge.
took me 10 minutes and the only reason why is because i did everything JerryRigEverything explained and followed some simple notes from other users experiences. for someone like me who knows absolutely nothing about this stuff, JerryRigEverything turned me into a iphone battery changing guru.. thanks buddy :)
porkaloo can you send me the link to where you bought the battery please. :)
HiTTGRL the purchase is very recent the item number of the ebay listing is in my initial comment. thanks :)
DO NOT EVER use any metal objects to pry out a lithium-ion battery, TheArtOfRepair(ThePhoneGod/Jason) has two REALLY good tutorials on his channel on how to get out both iPhone and Samsung batteries.
joihdnvpsid can u pls make a video of that
Video was very helpful, but it is just not as simple as it looks.
Depends on how good you're at it
Worked like a charm for me! I bought the battery and tool kit in the description of the video for $30, and the order came in a week later. My phone went from turning off after 20 - 30 seconds at "full charge" to working like brand new. If I had gone to apple, it would have cost over $80 and I wouldn't have my phone for several hours if not days. Just saved over 50 bucks and it took me only 10 minutes or less, thanks!
Senpai noticed me
Thank you so much! I also watched a couple of other videos but yours was the easiest, quickest and your tip about using a razor to remove the glass saved me. The tools sent with the battery were not nearly up to the task. WELL DONE!
i purchased supposedly new iphone batteries from amazon and 85 percent of the time there were 300+ cycle counts already. ifixit.com sells 0 count (new oem batteries). I hope this helps someone)
Amazon and ebay sell a lot of fake batteries as well as used ones. ur better off paying a bit more from reputable sellers from other sources.
So this is all Apple does and they charge you $79? If they weren't already rich from hardware sales, they would be from battery replacements.
Thats why UA-cam is the best place to go for learning new tricks.

That's also why I'm a android guy. I only needed your video to see how to do the battery for my daughters iPhone. Found out you're giving one away so I subscribed and tweeted you out to 3 twitter accounts with over 8000 followers. Hope that helps. I see you have a lot of helpful video's. Be Well.

That's cool, that take the good leave the crap. Merry Christmas.
All the other guides are much longer and tell you to remove the screen totally. This is lean and works fine. Many thanks.
Thanks, very concise and to the point. Made it easy to change battery, but would suggest you make a comment about the sticky backing tape on the battery which makes it a bit difficult to pull the battery out. Great !
“Somethin somethin certified personel whatever”
Does it also work on white iphone ?
+Prince Lozano yeah, it's the same phone....
+Nutter will it work an an iPhone that is not white?

racist.
bisscoteful how is that racist, you idiot.
Just ordered the fix kit and the new battery from your helpful links above! Can't wait to get the stuff to fix my dying phone!! Thanks for the info! Wish me luck!
Thanks. Used your video to replace my iPhone 5 battery and all working well. Good tip about the metal Stanley blade (I think you called it a razor blade?). You gave me the confidence to use the tip of the blade to lever the screen out from the bottom. It really needed this as it is stiff and the plastic "spodging" tools just are not up to it. So, again, big thanks.
2019 anyone?

I gave up on i phones, like my Galaxy4 much better and I can have a few extra battery's if I want in my briefcase.. U can get 3 battery's and an out of phone charger from Amazon for 20 bucks,,
Rich R I keep batteries on hand for swapping out as well. Its nice to never worry about your cell phone dying.
JerryRigEverything I no its something i could never give up now, I don't bother charging phone at all, i just change battery

I hear people complaining about their Android devices all the time.
Awesome video! I never could have done this without you! Thank you for sharing your expertise.
oh my golly - thanks a million for this - where would we be without "sharing people" like yourself !! merci buckets glyn

i did this and my screen cracked. :/
It was probably already compromised (meaning had hairline fractures already) and you didn't realize.
It worked! Thanks! I learned a couple of things from doing it that might help someone else.
I don't have the finger strength you probably do and I found myself grasping the phone on top of the screen just to keep a grip on it. I ended up putting a fat writing pen thru the suction cup ring so the pen tip was on the table (which I had actually put a lint free linen cloth on so I wouldn't lose the screws), ran it thru my fore and middle finger so the top of my hand was doing the lifting and forcing my fingertips to only the sides of the phone.
Also, I had to look very carefully at your video to see exactly where I wanted to pry thru, there is a little liner around the screen and I didn't know which side of it I was aiming at - the outside. It should be the metal case bottom only that you are prying off.) Run your little pry tool all along the end to get things going, but I found the screen next to the headphone jack is where the screen assembly is the thinnest.
The battery has a bit of sticky glue and will need a steady, strong pull on that clear tab to lift it - and that's the only good way to lift it. Leave the clear tab and the sticky in there to hold the new battery.
Last, I read somewhere to let the new battery charge for 12 hours before using it, but I found you don't want to do your first charge via your computer - the phone keeps trying to connect. Charge it via your wall charger.
I got it put together and charged overnight alright, but the new battery is losing power too fast. I have another new one from Apple, I may have to do it all again tonight.
We did it eventually but did have trouble with taking it apart. Obviously didn't realise the battery was glued in!! Managed it ok. Thanks for your help.
My dad used a knife to open mine
I did everything you said but after i replaced it. The phone expoded into bits. Then i noticed i used a samsung s7 edge battery. What a plonker lol.
WOW. Just WOW, dude.
You mean Note 7? It was when they we manufacturing that phone the bad batch of batteries came in.
This comment literally made me laugh out loud. If you'd have filmed that and posted it I reckon you'd have gone viral within a week, buddy. Going to film my battery change so if it goes pyrotechnic I'll have my 15 minutes of fame.
That made me giggle...thank you
Phil Okeefe he's obviously BS/joking all batteries have different sizes and special wiring attachments.
Great instructions, a little fast paced but it did the job! Thank you so much for your help!
Worked like charm, did as you say pretty simple just have to be really careful to not apply too much pressure but just enough to pull it back easily
Thank You! Worked out Great! My battery was stuck to the back. I took it outside and removed the battery on the picnic table. Slow even gradual pressure with a couple of guitar pics on the volume button side of the phone did it. Thanks again!
WORKED PERFECTLY for a non tech person. I used a dull razor which did not mar the surface at all. To re-install the screen slide the top in first because I had to take it apart and do this so the screen reseated properly. Thank you for your video!!!
Such a simple and well-made video. Replaced mine in about 5min (my first time).
Thanks jerry. Your video instructions were excellent. My battery wasn't very keen on coming out and was stuck with some substance. But otherwise all went well.
Thank you for the tutorial. I just changed mine, I had a bit of trouble, though, as the battery was stuck to the phone and would not come away, but finally managed.
Best video out there !!! the guy is obviously a pro which is why it looks soo easeful !! its my first time changing a battery on a phone and minus having to forcefully pry my batt out ( most likely to it being super old n some water damage) it went great !!! Thanx for the video JerryRIG
The Man has made this video very clear and precise. Couldn't be faulted in my opinion. So why 261 people have bothered to dislike the post is beyond me. Surely 14,000 people can't be wrong. Thank you "JerryRigEverything" you have definitely helped me. Cheers.
Thanks much, your video did the trick. I wish I had steady hands as yours. I needed a 3rd hand to hold the glass screen at 90° while I worked on the guts. Others have suggested blow dryer on bottom of case to soften battery adhesive.....I did not, just pry slowly and wait for adhesive to yield. Thanks again for sharing.
Success! Thanks for your help. Took me much longer than 2 minutes, but got it done! Getting the thing open and the battery pried loose were the hardest parts - oh and the teeny tiny screws that I could barely even see.... But alls well that ends well. Phone is working fine!
Literally is a very quick job - excellent video.
Thanks helped my husband out a lot he just got his battery in today from Amazon this tutorial helped him. Thanks again
very helpful, clear explanations i was able to change my battery easily. THANK YOU :)
all instructional videos should be this straight and to the point, Excellent !
Thank you so much!! Spent $6 on Ebay for a battery (that included a pry tool and screwdrivers) and watched your video. Now I have revived an old Iphone 5 we had laying around dead that we thought was useless. WIsh I would have known I could do this before we replaced it a couple years back but now at least we have a backup :)
Nice clear video. Process made to look easy. Thanks for additional tool links.
Nice video, thanks. I'd only add that the suction cup often doesn't work (didn't for me) AND my battery was glued in, so I had to consult a couple of other videos (glue problem + an alternative to suction cup) to get the job done.
