Galaxy S6 Battery,Upgrade(5800mAh) High Capacity Rechargeable Li-Polymer Battery

Battery was replaced with only tools provided and using my own tweezers and heat gun. I am pretty slow and cautious with this sort of thing, but it only took about 20-30 minutes to replace. At the time of this review I still have not reinstalled the back of the phone while I cycle the battery a couple of times. When installed and first powered on, the battery was at 50% charge. Ran it down to 10% and currently recharging for the first time. I intend to repeat this one more time. It took several hours to discharge the battery to 10% from 50% with the phone playing Youtube content so the screen would stay on and drain the battery quicker. Of slight concern is the fact that the battery shows 98% charged after only less than two hours of charging and it is not fast charging. Seems kinda quick but this is my wife's phone and I am not real familiar with the normal recharge time. We will see if that is a bad sign or not. When purchased the stated package contents were: 1 x Pentalobe Screwdriver 1 x Triangle Opening Pick 1 x Set of Adhesive Strips 1 x Cross Screwdriver 1 x Metal Spudger 1 x Metal Tweezer 1 x Suction Cup 1 x Ejection Pin 1 x After-Sale Card 1 x Instructions My spudger was not metal, it was blue plastic and worked fine. There was no tweezers at all, metal or otherwise. Tweezers aren't really needed if you have fingernails. I only used my own tweezers since my fingernails are very short just to remove the screws once they are unscrewed using the screwdriver. The pentalobe screwdriver is the screwdriver handle that accepts hex bits, I assume. My kit had two bits, a flat and Phillips bit. See pictures of my kit contents. One word of advice. When removing the front (not the back) by prying up along the sides, it is best if you don't pry at the bottom and top of the phone (the chin and forehead) where the home button and speaker are located. That colored part (blue on my phone which is blue) is paint or metal film or something on the back of the front glass and is very easily scratched while prying. Best to avoid prying in this area if possible and you care about the looks afterward. The video that they provide a QR code for in the kit does mention this if you watch and listen. So far it looks like this repair will be a success as long as the battery continues to do its job past the first couple of charges and has resurrected this phone from being totally useless to fully functional. I will update the review in the future if the battery ends up having any issues.

I desperately needed a new battery for my Samsung Galaxy S6. My phone dropped calls repeatedly. It over heated continuosly. It became hot so often that the back came unglued. I bought the best battery that I could find given the reviews and specs. I changed the battery while watching a YouTube video. I was nervous and had watched a video prior to receiving the new battery. Dissassembly went smoothly as the back was already unglued. I drained the battery completely once and will do that a few more times to set the battery. My old phone has been given a new life. It was recommended to drain the battery to 20% prior to Disassembly for safety reasons. I am very happy to have a strong phone. I am looking forward to using it this Summer. Using GPS was difficult with the failing battery as my phone would die on me. I wish I had changed the battery a long time ago.

My S6 began acting strangely, with the battery occasionally getting hot in my pocket even though it wasn't in use, and then a couple of days ago I noticed that the glass back had separated from the metal frame by about 1mm on one side, an indication the battery inside was beginning to swell. Didn't crack the glass, fortunately. To be perfectly honest, out of all the batteries available on Amazon, I narrowed my search criteria to two points: (1) reasonably large number of reviews and overall number of positives, and (2) immediate delivery. This vendor seemed to be proud of selling a high-quality battery that was good for many recharge cycles. AND I could get the battery delivered in 24 hours with Prime! So I got it today and it took about 30 minutes to install. You don't need a "heat gun," just a regular hair dryer on the high setting will get hot enough. You want to heat the rear glass edges hot enough to be too hot to touch, then work the edges with the guitar pick. This was easy for me since one edge had already pulled away. Then take out the millions of screws (well, not really, but a lot, and I missed a couple under the adhesive at first). New battery went in easily and was clearly flatter than the old swelling one. Phone now works great; I will update this if I'm less than 100% satisfied over the next few weeks. But so far, it looks like this is the battery to get, if not an OEM Samsung battery.

Nice, fancy box, but I opened it to reveal a gaping hole where the battery should have been. Since the box had no tape or seal, it was easy to imagine someone pocketing it along the way. Recommend manufacturer spend a nickel on a little tape to ensure contents stay put. Makes me feel like they will think I'm trying to chump them out of a battery. However, if the battery is halfway decent, it will probably outlast the phone. We'll see.

well i got my kit so i can install a new battery for my galaxy s6 and all i did was follow the direction on watching a video and installing the new battery it did come with glue strips for the back plate did not use them due to i use a better glue strip that i order for the phone and it all works well. Now as for what i have notice well just like it said you have to use it to zero and then charge it full then use it to zero do it 3 time and then use as normal and wow the battery lasted 6 1/2 hours on a live steam on youtube with full brightness i time them 3 times it did that so now my phone is better then before so yes this battery is really good so if you need a new battery and want it to work better then it did before get this one oh the nfc still works and wireless charging works too so dont worry if you will lose that you wont
