In today's episode, I purchased an ebay iphone 6s battery for the low price of $5.65. What happened when I replaced the battery?
1) I actually replaced the battery. I'm prone to breaking my own phones.
Phone cost $65 off ebay.
Battery cost $5 off ebay.
Total cost for a phone that should now last me 3 yrs... $70!
2) The battery replacement was easy since the phone had already been opened. Taking out the old battery is a pain if you don't properly remove the tape/glue. Someone had done it already for me.
See the tutorial here:
3) After 10-15 min of taking of the screen, then taking out the battery and then putting in the new battery and rinse and repeat.
4)The new battery powered up.. and:
No longer said: "Needs Service"
Max Capacity was set at 100%
5) Not trusting apple's own software, I ran coconut battery app on my imac. Thankfully it said.. 0 recharge cycles.. and capacity was at 100%.
Note: this battery was manufactured on 1/1/2019.. and todays date is 3/4/2020... over a year old.. but actually NEW.
Moral of the story... YMMV= your mileage may vary. That's the honest truth.
I've bought and purchased many iphone batteries.. and it was always a mixed bag. If you're lucky.. you get a new battery. If you're unlucky.. you get a dud.. and then have to complain with ebay/amazon to get a replacement.
Good luck. I'm glad it worked out for me. Hopefully you don't have to go through the same thing. Isn't it just easier to buy a new phone for $1000... no wait $500... no wait ... $200!
