iFixitBattery Compatible with iPhone 7 - Repair Kit

IFixIt is the best. I have replaced 3 iPhone7, 8 and iwatch batteries for friends and family without any issue. Love to see that 100% battery capacity after replacement. ifixit.com has great instructions. This kit has everything needed. This was my second kit, thought it was nice to have a second screwdriver. Make sure to take your time when opening and use the plunger.

Installation took time but went smoothly, the tools and gasket were very useful and worth the extra cost imo.Update: The phone must have been on and not in airplane mode without me realizing it. To test that I left it three days in a cradle unplugged in airplane mode and it’s only lost 7% of charge. Rating 5 starsOriginal: The phone is no longer used daily, it’s a backup so I fully charged it and then shut it off and put it in a drawer. A week later got it out and the battery was down at 1%. It’s possible this is not unusual and it needs to be charge-cycled but it was surprising and I will modify this review once I know one way or the other if this behavior is permanent. Rating 3 stars

Battery with a 100% health! It's a first for me. Adhesive strips already installed on the battery. Extra adhesive strips for around the edge of the phone. Everything you need to replace your phone.The only negative was in my phone itself and not the fault of the kit. Very happy with this.

Just received the battery and tool kit. Reviewed the videos online on how to replace and the most difficult and time-consuming step was breaking the seal at the base of the phone. Once open it went fairly smooth. However, none of the three driver bits seemed to work to remove the screws for the battery connector hold-down. Good thing I was replacing the rear camera and it came with tools so I used one of them.The battery fit perfectly and the plug snapped right in. The phone powered up and showed 61% but is currently going through the recommended calibration process. Battery health is back up to 100%. The driver handle is nice as it has a top cap that can remain stationary against your palm as you spin the driver. The bits as mentioned are stamped with the size, but again the one necessary for the battery plug hold-down wouldn't work. The other two were perfect. The suction cup held very well and the tray it fits in is molded so that it will not lose its shape.I debated between getting just the battery or spending $5 more and getting the battery, tools and seal and glad I got the tools as well. They aren't Mac or Snap-on but definitely not what you'd find at the Dollar Store. IMHO a very good value and will keep for future phone repairs.

I received the iFixit battery and repair kit for my regular size iPhone7 smartphone. All tools and battery came in a nice box labelled with the expression 'You can do this!' And I would say many folks could indeed do it BUT it takes some patience, strong focus on the instructions, and a good magnifying set of glasses or lens as the screws that need to be removed are tiny. Pay special attention to the type of screw head that is being removed as you have 3 different types of them and, accordingly, 3 different types of screwdriver heads are included in the repair kit. The toughest part of the process for me was the initial action of removing the screen. I did apply some bit of heat from a hand-held hair dryer to soften/loosen the adhesive for holding the screen in place. Also by using the small thin plastic wedge I finally coaxed the lower left side of the screen up and heated a little more and continued coaxing up along the screen's left side (the directions ask you to avoid opening up the right side). From there I wedged up both bottom and top edges of the screen and just a tiny bit at the top/bottom of the right side. There are 2 connections holding the top of the screen onto the phone's frame - so the directions ask that you use a little downward force to finally open screen like the cover of a book opening toward the right side. (I did not remove the one part which would allow me to remove the screen from the frame). After that process is complete, read the instructions and TAKE YOUR TIME in removing key screws and parts in order to get the old battery out. For instance, there are 2 sticky tape tabs that need to be removed from under the old battery - take your time and pull them out slowly - the tape is very stretchy and will come out completely if you pull slowly and continuously. Beyond all this - KEEP TRACK OF THE SCREWS/PARTS THAT WERE REMOVED - as you replace everything in reverse order of removal. With my big fingers and 2 pairs of reader glasses, I was successful with the process. It took me 3.5 hours though as it was my first time at this rodeo and I took my time! You can do it!!

iFixIt prices are sometimes a little high, for what you get, but I have always found them to be honest, unlike many iPhone replacement battery sellers that are obviously exaggerating the mAh of their batteries & are selling batteries of unknown quality.I do want iFixIt to stay in business, because they do provide a high quality website with excellent instructions, so sometimes I will choose their product, as long as their price is only slightly more than what another reliable company is selling an item for.

Do not recommend. I got really good first impressions, as it comes in nice packaging and comes with nice tools. The battery was great at first, just like new, but after a little over a month of usage my battery life is no better than it was before (which was terrible) and my phone keeps dying around 15%. NOT WORTH ITUPDATE: the battery is swelling a lot, it’s starting to push my screen out of my phoneUPDATE 2: the battery swole so much it snapped my screen and completely dislodged it out of my phone, and you could smell battery fumes if you got anywhere near the phone. hasn’t even been two months since i received and installed the battery. very very disappointed in ifixit.

All the tools needed to make the repair.
