iPhone 6S Battery Replacement in 3 minutes (Easy Method)

Let me know if those links stop working!!

There are a few ways to remove your iPhone 6s battery. The easiest way is using the very convenient pull tabs down at the bottom of the battery.

Just lift them up from the edge of the battery, and pull directly out toward the bottom of the device. If the pull tabs end up breaking, than you'll have to use the 'pry of shame' method, and pull the battery out the old fashion way.

Let me know if you have any questions!

With so many videos I'm receiving 100's of messages each day and I'm finding it impossible to find enough time to reply to them all.
I was spending more hours each week answering all the comments than I was making these videos.

This is such a good video. There's no long introduction, unnecessary history of the iphone or battery, or how batteries work, and no explanation as to why this needs to be done. You just get right to the point and show exactly how to do it. THANK YOU!

When installing the new battery always connect the battery as the last step. First connect the LCD and than the battery. Otherwise it is possible that you make a short on the board and destroy it.

Critical point missed in these steps: when placing the new battery in the phone, BEFORE you apply the adhesive strips, test the placement of the battery such that the ribbon connector will align perfectly with the jack on the phone. There is VERY little room for error here. If you stick the battery down and it is a little too low or too high, the connector will not align and you will need remove the battery (hopefully without damaging it) and position it correctly. So do a "dry" fit and see how much room there is between the battery and the top and bottom of the bay it sits in. Then after getting the adhesive strips in place, make sure you put the battery in exactly the same position.

Thanks for clear and useful video!
The battery I replaced seemed to have no pull tabs, so I cautiously pried it out with a plastic pry tool, and that worked. When you reassemble, check that the two metal tabs that secure the pentalobe screws didn't get bent when you were prying off the screen.
One of mine got bent and the screw wouldn't engage, until I opened the phone again and straightened that tab.

Thanks for your videos, I dropped my phone in the creek, used your tutorials to replace the screen assembly and the battery. They made the process very easy. Cheers!

Very helpful. I'm not much of a mechanic or handyman. This video was EXTREMELY helpful. The only issue I had was the pull tabs broke at the very beginning, so getting the battery unstuck was a task.

[orosenkrantz]

This video was extremely helpful. With just a few hiccups on my part, I was able to successfully replace my battery, and it works like a charm. In fact, my wife now wants me to replace the battery in hers. I struggled a lot with the screws as they are so small as to practically invisible, but loads of patience helped, and I finally got it sorted. Thanks again for the video!

My grandma's iPhone 6s needed a new battery. I'm a mechanic, and pretty tech savvy, so after pricing a battery ($20), and watching your video, I felt confident enough to try it.
It worked! Thanks for the walk through.

Had your video running and an Amazon purchased battery & phone in front of me and had no problems. Well, almost. Two lessons from my end. First, when I pried off the screen with the plastic guitar-looking pick that came with the battery, I discovered that it's possible to bend the tabs that receive the screws on the bottom of the phone as you pry away on the lower part of the screen. When I reassembled the phone and started to insert the two bottom screws, I discovered that one of them would not 'bite' as I tried to screw it in. When I re-opened the case, it was obvious that the tab that would have received the screw was bent just out of reach of the screw. It was easy to gently bend back in place, so an easy fix.

Second, when pulling the adhesive out from underneath the battery, it's very easy to break, which you mention in the video; and, of course, the battery is a bear to get out if the adhesive is still attached. One attempt to wrap the adhesive around a pair of plastic tweezers as I pulled it out didn't work very well and the adhesive tore. So, I ended up just using my fingers to reel the adhesive in millimeter by millimeter b.c fingers have a fairly large surface area and it was easier for me to keep the adhesive from tearing and/or separating. Great video. Thanks for saving me a 1000$ on a new phone; this will allow us to keep using our beater 6Ss for a while longer.

I just finished replacing my battery using this video guide and it went smooth without any issues. Thanks for the video.

[animalonacid]

Good concise video which worked perfectly. Should definitely mention not to bend the screen cables past 90 degrees before lifting it though I had it sat flat on the desk at 180 by the time you mentioned it!

[wojciechowczarek]

hey...I'm glad I've watched you vid prior to replacing battery...that tip regarding sticky stips saved me a lot of time...i know how battery removal can get on your nerves...good video brother...regards.

[delshaug]

I did it. thanks. I did not disconnect the screen per someone's comment below. Instead I used a heavy box and some masking tape to secure the screen at a 90 degree angle. The adhesive tape under the battery was the hardest to remove. Thanks

[STADYxKICKS]

Thanks i usually replace my battery every time it dies cause i never got a charger. Good thing its quick

[donbigosso]

I bought the battery with the kit on Ali for 10 bucks. Fixed it as per this video. Since 3hrs the level of charging did not change. With the previous battery it would go down about 30%. Thanks a lot. Good video!

[seanconway]

The presentation is BANG on. The good, the bad and the ugly for removing the battery tape is exactly how it is described. Even though I followed the good instructions but one of the tapes broke and left me with the ugly fix. Not surprising the same one that broke in the video. That tape sticks man. No easy task to remove. I purchased a kit that contained the battery and tools plus replacement tape all seen in the video. Don't under estimate the value of that suction cup. It made getting started, the case to part initially a god send.

Bought a broken iphone 6s off ebay (to learn how to repair phones), watched your videos and it helps a ton, fully restored the iphone 6s!

[chrisglynn]

Nice video - quick and to the point, which is just what I needed. Cheers.

[Wineslacker]

Great vid. Very clear instructions, no time wasted and thanks for the links. But...disconnect the battery first, then reconnect last.

[doug]

Good video, I just completed my change. Thank you.
My battery had already been replaced, so it was just a matter of prying it off the old double sided tape, which was still sticky, so I just re used it.
