Replacing iPhone Battery Now Requires A Spot Welder? - Didn't Go To Plan

[@wesandeth]

Yes, unfortunately the BMS will have been blown - usually happens when a battery is completely dead (like cut or too badly expanded) great job though - would’ve worked perfectly on a still working but poor battery health phone! Still a ridiculous process for what should be a simple battery replacement

[@JustARegularNerd]

It’s mind boggling to think less than a decade prior, it was the norm to have user replaceable batteries. I even had a 2012 tablet, a Google Nexus 7, with a back that just simply clipped off and the battery was right there with a modular connector, and it was easy for tween me to swap out, not too different from working on a laptop.

Hi Hugh, You need an intact battery to do this repair, “service” but has a working BMS and cell, you have to copy the data first ung J7000 then remove the BMS, then spot weld it to the new cell, then write the copied data to the new welded cell.

[@drcyb3r]

To prevent people from changing battery BMS boards in the future, they might store the encrypted key in a RAM chip so if you remove the cell, they key is gone forever. Would sound like something Apple could do.

[@Piipperi800]

The thing is that you should not weld on a pre-calibrated BMS onto a battery anyways. It can lead to the battery getting overcharged or discharged to a point where it damages the battery, because not all batteries are 100% equal so the BMS has to be calibrated for the specific cell(s).

[@Kilohercas]

usually BMS needs to have power while swamping cells. if power is gone, BMS controller will disable itself. This is same for notebook cell replacement, when you install new batteries, it gives same errors. But if you do so BMS can't detect battery is swapped ( like supplying 4.2 to correct location while changing, it will work as it should.

[@JoshuaG]

At this point , i just wish the development on 'Graphene Solid-State' batteries can become available as soon as possible, that way, even if some of us mess up, it wont have the same destructive thermal runaway like 6:21 🤣 just saw ChargerLAB's video on the battery cell they got recently, its impressive, even when stabbed multiple times, there was no smoke..

[@Xw3dn3sd4yX]

Granted, this replacement may not have gone correctly, but I've learned WHY it didn't work and I think that's a success. High quality content here :D

[@hedw1gP]

Be aware that iPhone 11 and up, the BMS data is encrypted, you can’t reset cycle counts. BMS will force decrease battery health. Typically 500 cycles decrease 5%, which means you cannot restore full capacity (if you replaced the cell with a small original one). This limit does affect hardware. However, if “Not genuine” message appears, you actually get full capacity. The phone won’t limit its charge to a certain amount. Usually this method is used with a bigger capacity cell than the original cell, in order to compensate that 500 5% limit. After replacing the cell, BMS still has old health percentage, but BMS will recalibrate itself eventually. Sadly, if you replace with the original capacity cell paired with a 80% health BMS, you only get 90% available for you to use.

[@kikihun9726]

That welder is pretty ehh. No warning time before welding? Just straight power pulse when you short the wires?

[@asmobile9587]

I think the new battery that you soldered to the old bms is faulty because a normal iPhone battery should be at least 3.7v, there's a special device called Sunshine SS-915 to charge and activate the battery instead of jumping it from another battery.

[@garrettlison4992]

As much as I'm not surprised by this outcome or the need to do such a thing to try to trick this phone into working 100%, I find myself laughing a bit that a company made a tiny spot welding machine for such a repair. I've seen that QianLi logo before on many of the other diagnostic stuff at the shop and it's pretty decent, all things considered.

I had a phone repair shop from 2010 to 2016 and personally fixed over 16K devices. I saw this coming when Apple mated the fingerprint ID to their phones - I could replace the home button but the fingerprint ID lost its functionality. I knew it was just a matter of time before they made the iPhones non-repairable by 3rd party shops like mine. It was great while it lasted and I'm glad I no longer have to deal with Apple's under-handedness. (By the way, I must've had at least 30 batteries explode on me. I recommend wearing protective eyewear if you mess with phone batteries.)

[@wysiwygscomputerrepository4905]

As an employee of Best Buy Geek Squad and an "Apple certified technician" (lol) here in the states, I can say that even 7:30 is not a viable option for restoring the battery functionality. Apple's repairs operate on a hierarchy, and Apple will only fix a single fault with the device. If you have any other problem (say, a bad battery and a cracked screen), Apple will classify that as a "Multiple part failure" device and opt for a full phone replacement. Same goes if other faults are found, even if the customer does not want those repaired (IE cracked rear glass on an iPhone 11 and older). Apple will not let you just get one issue fixed. They must fix everything, which means that unless you JUST have a cracked screen or JUST a bad battery, you're going to be looking at a full phone replacement every single time. Additionally, any tampering with the phone (at least if Apple can tell during their repair or if you disclose that information to them) will immediately result in a requote for a full phone replacement, as well as a nullifying of Applecare coverage, meaning they will charge you the FULL PRICE of the device in question, regardless of your condition. For this particular phone, since it's been repaired by someone that isn't Apple or one of its "certified repair centers" (IE places like Geek Squad here in the US), and is displaying warning messages, Apple's diagnostics will immediately kick it to a full phone replacement due to multiple failures, and if 3rd party repairs are discovered, at full price instead of the $99 they charge if you have Applecare+. That's the world we live in now

Good try mate!! I hope in the future you'll get another opportunity to try this out on a phone that doesn't have such a badly damaged original battery. This looks like an interesting technique to explore further.

[@waldemarma8239]

You must activate the battery before first use. Apply voltage from the power supply to the connector. Then, before inserting the battery, you must connect the service power supply to the motherboard and start and turn off the phone (so that there is a message about a non-original battery). From model 12 you need a special TAG - after programming it stays in the phone.

Here is a scary scenario for the iPhone 15 that I have heard being discussed in certain dark places. It is proposed that once Apple moves to solid state buttons and a titanium case, they will then weld the whole thing shut so it cannot be opened and is a complete solid sealed unit by replacing the Penta lobe screws with welds. If you crack the glass or damage it, it will be a full phone replacement because you will no longer be able to get into the phone. They are also supposedly adding a tattle tale sensor / microswitch that activates and scrambles all the encryption keys as a failsafe if you do manage to get into the phone. Once that key is changed the phone is bricked. to power this they will have a capacitor to provide just enough power for the scrambler to activate and failsafe signal the encryption chips.

[@DZARO]

Just keep in mind that the BMS may not work because you removed power completely or the previous battery was 100% dead and the voltage dropped to zero. The reason I am saying this is because it could be that some infromation on the battery is stored like RAM, as soon as you remove power, the information used by the iPhone to identify the battery as its own is lost.

[@divergentus]

Frustrating - but I'm sure you'll try this again Hugh, you're not one to give up a good challenge! Nice spot welder too. I had a similar experience recently. Canon's original EOS batteries are expensive, so I recently rebuilt my 2016 LP-E6 battery pack that was no longer holding a good charge, and I had to desolder the BMS board once I had taken the pack apart. Cost me a fraction of an original new Canon battery pack (just 2 x 18500 Lithium Batteries at $6 each), and unlike the cheap 3rd party clone packs that have no BMS or protection circuitry, I now have a 'fresh' original pack that charges in a Canon charger, and even reports full health in the camera - I guess removing the old cells somehow reset the health status on the BMS. My only caution about this is the risk of doing a bad job, and having the battery short and catch fire inside my R6, so very much a 'do at your own risk' repair.

The suggested solution is to hook up a temporary voltage source to the bms while doing the transplant.

[@mattb9343]

It is much safer to handle battery repairs\shipping when the battery is in a low charge state. With a near 0 charge the battery will not explode when punctured. You still need to charge back up but that will give you the chance to observe the battery for any sign of failure as it charges and disconnect just in case. If a battery is damaged, this method won't unleash the fury of a full charge when compromised. Just watch for any unusual heating or smoke as your signal to stop charging.

[@justinholding02]

Yes Dell is just like Apple. Third party batteries don't work either.

[@ByeTech]

Dell has been doing that before Apple. The charger sends a signal down one of the three connectors on the charger's cable. There is the outside barrel, inside barrel and inside pin. If you can generate the signal and send it down the line then it will activate the charge circuit. As usual Dell claims it's a protection circuit that third party chargers do not overcharge the battery causing a fire or explosion.

Technican here. 1. No the BMS does not need to power all the time, it has its data stored and this is legit repair technique. 2. This happens when battery can not communitace with the phone - usually one pin in battery connector is bent, so it does not make a contact. (This is not the case, since the other battery works fine) 3. I think he just broke the BMS by harsh manipulation. They break very easily.
