Upgraded 2450mAh High Capacity Replacement Battery for iPhone SE - by LCLEBM

Amy M: I had an app subscription on this phone that wouldn't transfer to any other phone, and this new battery got my phone back on and working great! My son had to help me with the tiny screws, and he did an excellent job! The battery holds a charge for a long time, I'm so happy!

Tracey Hoyle: My 73 y/o mom’s iPhone SE 1st Gen was dying as soon as she unlocked the screen to use it, from 100% to dead within seconds. She did not want a new phone (“they’re too big and heavy”) so I decided to try replacing the battery myself.

This one had good reviews so I ordered it. There were no instructions in the package, only a page with QR codes to scan and link to videos. The video was informative, but the host had fancier tools than the ones in the package (a double suction cup thing and magnetic board, for example). If you don’t have the fancy tool, you’re advised to read the manual to learn how to use the suction cup that was provided. I didn’t get a manual so I looked for more detailed videos to help. I needed another person to help me get the front and back separated, but after that, it’s all about performing each step slowly and carefully. I’ll say that again: SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY. The sharp tweezers are perfect to unhook things and lift pieces. Make sure you’re careful and don’t puncture the battery with them, like I did! Lay the back of the phone on a warm heating pad to soften the glue that holds the battery down before you try to remove the...

Phil McInnis: This is a nice kit if you need a new battery for your iPhone SE (1st generation). I’ve had my SE since Sept. 2017 and don’t want to replace it yet as I really like its size, but was having problems with the battery despite it having 85% capacity, which I would have expected was still adequate for decent usage. It was draining very fast although I’d changed a lot of settings to reduce battery consumption, and occasionally when it was fully charged, after being on the charger for hours, would suddenly shut down, start up with the screen showing the battery was drained, then immediately show 100% charged as soon as I plugged it into the charger. Strange behavior.

I will say the kit wasn’t well packaged by Amazon. The kit is in a small box with a flap that is held closed magnetically. It was shipped in a much larger box but was not padded at all, so it was banging around in the shipping box on its travels, and the kit opened up and all the tools, etc. were scattered around in the shipping box. Not good, especially with a lithium battery. No damage to anything fortunately.

There are no instructions in the kit, just a sheet with links to youtube videos on how to...

Alan Harper: The Final result: Made a new and even better phone out of my 3-year old iPhone SE! 5 star for the results!

The Process: 3 star for this! I'm 65 and consider myself moderately mechanical. My battery life was miserable and had to keep it constantly plugged in. I was considering purchasing a new phone or sending it into Apple for a battery replacement. After reviewing some youtube videos on how to DIY the battery I decided to risk the $22 for this kit. The kit arrived fine, on time and undamaged and included all the tools needed. There is really no instructions with it but just suggestions to look at youtube which I could not have done without. The process was more challenging than I thought.....the battery is very difficult to remove as the adhesive broke...I found a video by a British gentleman very helpful with the battery removal as he showed using sewing thread to get around the battery and sort of saw it out. (I used upholstery thread as it is heavier and it worked like a charm). Once the battery is out there are several bracket and cables to unhook....the screws are amazingly small. I got it all hooked back up but no power on the first and second tries on hooking the...
