ScandiTech Battery iP6 Plus - Compatible with iPhone 6+ (not 6 or 6S+) - Replacement Kit with Tools, Adhesive & Instructions - New 2915 mAh 0 Cycle Battery - Repair Your Phone in 15 min - 1-Year Warr

Used this kit to replace the battery after the iphone failed to turn-on anymore even on external power. The Apple store "genius" said they could not do a battery replacement without being able to confirm that the phone would turn on and suggested to buy a new phone instead. Thanks to this kit the phone works like new again now.The kit includes all the tools needed including the "plunger" that helps to lift up the screen. The packaging and everything looks pretty solid. The box come with a soft padding that can be used to hold the little screws at a secure place when taking things apart.Getting out the adhesive strips while being careful not to damage and puncture the old battery takes some concentration. Pulling straight on a low angle two stripes came out beautifully, however the third ripped. Luckily I was able to fish it out under the battery again using the tweezer, being extremely careful not to damage the old battery and pull it out without resorting to other methods like heating the phone up etc.(To help with the last part I did cut out some clear plastic from some packaging and used that piece to slide under the already exposed parts of the battery while also "protecting" the battery from getting damaged )The last challenge was to plug the battery connector of the new battery into the receptacle. Turns out if the plug is not exactly lined up above thee receptacle its difficult to snap in. The solution was to lift the new battery up a little and give the connector some room to wiggle room to get into position above the plug and make the connection and then fixate the battery into position using the supplied new adhesive stripes.Overall I probably would have paid the $50 to the Apple store to do the work if they would have not chickened out, but now I'm happy it all went well and the SandiTech kit was money well spend.

Must warn readers that I am a 60+ year old woman who doesn't know anything about the guts of an iPhone. For example I have no idea what a motherboard is. I am good at reading instructions and have a lot of patience. For example, I have put together a houseful of IKEA furniture without any problems. Yesterday I replaced my battery and it was challenging to say the least. I wasn't impressed with tools they provided other than the screw drivers and suction cup (more on that later). The instruction pamphlet is not sufficient at all so I don't know why they even bother to include it. It gives you a false sense that you can replace the battery using these instructions. After you go through some of the steps you then realize that there is no way you can replace the battery without going on the website and reading through the much more detailed instructions. Getting the battery out of the phone was dreadful. I started this process before I watched the video. Perhaps if I would have been more careful with removing the glue strips under the battery, my experience would have been easier. Having said this, even the website instructions warn you that most people don't have success with removing the strips easily and end up prying the old battery out. I was so paranoid about bending or puncturing the battery and having it catching on fire (instruction warning) that it took me over 2 hours to pry it out. I finally had to use my own tools (a paint can lid opener and large screw driver) because I just couldn't get the leverage with their tools that they provided. I decided that the suggestion in the instructions to use dental floss was to just add more torture. I tried and of course it just ripped in half. I did end up puncturing a small hole in the old battery but I survived - no fire, nuclear explosion, etc.. I didn't disconnect the wires at the top of the phone (which would allow you to completely remove the top lid of the phone from the bottom lid) because they warn you that you can do just as much damage (if you are not super careful) doing this as leaving them intact. This requires you to keep the top part of the top lid on the phone somewhat engaged with the bottom part. It can't be opened from the bottom part of the phone by more than 90 degrees. Per the instructions if you don't disconnect the wires at the top, the phone lid can not be entirely removed and must be held open with one hand the whole time you are working on replacing the battery. Nonsense! That would have been impossible - you need both hands for this process! I attached the suction cup to the top lid and rigged it up to another solid object on my counter top so it stayed open at 90 degrees while I worked on the phone. I gave this product three stars entirely because of the instructions/tools. After I finally got the new battery in the phone, it worked and it is certainly holding a charge much better than my 2 hour max charge with my old one.

Step by step video instructions worked perfectly. Take your time with the glue strips. Work veeeeeeery slowly and pause the video when you need to. I didn't disconnect the screen as I taped it to a heavy object on my desk while working. I taped everything so nothing would move and made real sure the screws went back Exactly the way they came out. Also, I highly suggest you take before photos of your battery "Before" you disconnect anything. Pay close attention to the "Centering" of the battery because if you have it too high or more towards the Top of the phone, your battery's power connection will have to be pushed down towards the bottom in order to snap back into place, if it fits at all. And if it's too low or too far down towards the bottom of the phone, you won't be able to connect it at all. Before I started working on the phone or taking out the batter, I noticed how the battery could very well be glued back into the case too much one end or the other and sat and wondered what I could do to keep from falling outside "The Goldie Locks" zone. I took a piece of wax paper and cut it so it was just about as wide as the battery and the length as 2 1/2 times as long as the battery. Once I had removed the old battery I folded the waxed paper lengthwise in half and laid it in the bottom of the battery compartment area. Then, I took the new battery with the double-sided sticky tape already attached to the back of it and removed the remaining paper covers off the sticky tape and placed that directly onto the waxed paper in the batter compartment. I then reconnected the battery and screws. Now.....With the battery already connected and sitting in the phone, all I had to do was grab a hold of the BOTTOM piece of the waxed paper and pulled it out. All Done. Attention to Detail is the key. And I highly suggest some sort of Reading Glasses as the screws are really small. The tools supplied with the kit all work perfectly. Save them for later for other intricate projects.
