How to choose a battery for iphone

The battery built into the Iphone is of high workmanship and holds a charge perfectly, but over time its performance deteriorates. After 500-700 charging cycles, due to natural chemical processes, the capacity decreases, and the smartphone stops holding the charge the necessary time and starts to discharge very quickly. This behavior of the smartphone indicates that it is time to change the battery.

Top Battery Manufacturers for Iphone

To date, the release of batteries for iphone has been established by many well-known manufacturers of computer components, the most popular of which are:

1. Foxconn

2. Samsung

3. Chitec

4. Montblanc

5. Xiaomi

Batteries manufactured under these trademarks are supplied both as factory components, under the Apple logo, and as third-party spare parts recommended for installation. They are installed in many workshops and service centers around the world.

Types of batteries for Iphone

"Batteries" installed in Apple devices can be divided into three conditional categories.

Original accessories

Batteries produced under the Apple logo and have passed all certification and quality control procedures. They are a complete analogue of the battery installed in the device from the factory and show identical technical specifications.

Virtues

• High quality;

• Full compatibility;

• Features identical to the factory;

• The minimum percentage of marriage;

disadvantages

• High price

Licensed parts

The components manufactured by Apple's partner companies are almost always identical to those installed in devices from the factory. The Apple logo is absent, but the mark of the manufacturer (usually Foxconn or Samsung) is engraved on the surface.

Virtues

• Quality;

• Parameters comparable to factory settings;

• Marriage practically does not occur;

• The price is much lower than the original;

disadvantages

• Not subject to warranty service;

"Noname" - spare parts

Components manufactured at unknown manufactures of China. The quality varies greatly from batch to batch, batteries very often do not hold a charge and are very quickly discharged. A large number of defective products - after 40-50 charging cycles, such a “battery” swells up and fails.

Virtues

• Low price;
  

disadvantages

• Quality instability;

• Often are the cause of fire;

• Quickly fail;

• Mediocre build;

Battery Options for Iphone

Having determined the budget for future purchases, you must give a choice in favor of one of the above types. In the case of original parts, it is not necessary to delve into the technical details: it is enough to order a battery identical to the one installed in the smartphone in order to get the same operating time and charging time.

In the case of licensed batteries and noname devices, the situation is different.

1. First, you need to choose a battery, the size of which will be identical to the original. The design of the Iphone does not imply disassembly and the presence of a removable cover, and therefore excessive "battery" simply does not fit in the case;

2. Secondly, you should find out the capacity of the factory battery and pick up an analogue, the capacity of which will be at least not less. The greater the capacity of a particular battery, the longer the battery life of the device and the longer it will take to charge it;

3. Third, you need to pay attention to the cable and power controller. The connector and the location of the main components, as well as characteristics that should be identical to the factory. Otherwise, there is a great chance to get a hardware conflict and a failed device as a result.

However, the best solution to the problem would be to contact an authorized service center. Professionals working in it know what a high-quality battery is and will not allow the installation of a defective model into a smartphone, and therefore the device’s performance guarantee approaches the factory 100%.

How to choose an external battery for Iphone

In order for the smartphone not to be discharged at the most inopportune moment, far from the outlet, many people prefer to resort to using a portable battery. This device is a miniature unit that charges from the USB port and is designed to replenish energy. A quality powerbank for working with iphone should have the following characteristics:

1. The capacity of the built-in storage device must provide the ability to perform 5-6 complete cycles of charging the device. Considering the fact that the built-in iPhone battery has a capacity of 2000-2500 mAh, depending on the model, the portable powerbank should have a capacity of at least 12000-15000 milliamp-hours;

2. Peak power output. The higher this parameter, the faster the device will charge. The traditional value for Iphone is 2 Ampere - this is the current that the complete charger generates, this value is safe for the battery and at the same time capable of charging up to 100% in 40-60 minutes;

3. Protection against external factors according to IP68. The operating conditions can vary quite strongly, and therefore a device should be preferred, not afraid of dust, water and mechanical effects.

In the following articles, our experts tell how to choose an external battery and secrets battery capacity selection.
