The complete, no-guesswork option: the correct battery for your specific iPhone, the exact drivers and opening tools, and new adhesive strips — plus a step-by-step guide. Choose the listing that matches your model number precisely.
Check Fix Kit Price →Already own a repair kit? Just buy a quality replacement battery with fresh pre-cut adhesive strips for your model. Look for batteries that advertise proper capacity and a low-cycle guarantee.
Check Battery Price →A budget bundle pairs a replacement battery with a small toolkit and adhesive. Fine for older iPhones; just confirm the kit lists pentalobe and tri-point drivers so you can actually open the phone.
Check Bundle Price →For most models, yes — with the right model-specific kit, fresh adhesive, and by following your device's guide. The exceptions are a swollen battery or newer iPhones with tricky adhesive, which are safer to mail in.
A complete model-specific fix kit with tools and adhesive typically runs $30-50. Battery-and-adhesive only is cheaper if you already own tools.
On many newer iPhones, a non-genuine battery can trigger a 'Battery' service message and hide the health percentage. The battery still works; the warning is Apple's part-authentication. A genuine or authenticated battery avoids it.
Do not puncture, bend, or heat it, and don't fly with it. A swollen battery is a safety hazard — have it replaced professionally as soon as possible.
Swollen batteries and the latest iPhones are safest handled by a pro. We do genuine-quality mail-in battery replacement.
