[IMPORTANT] Clarity for all the battery problems!

Since im reading so many topics about problems with replaced batterys and after iOS 11.3 made the whole thing clear for me, I decided to open this thread and light up your issues!

It all started with the replacement of my iPhone 6's original battery; I got the feeling, that the new one I bought from iFixit drains faster than my original one back in the old days. I also got the issue that whenever my iPhone is out of battery and I'm trying to restart it, it falls into a bootloop instead of showing me the battery or "charge-me"-icon.

Yesterday iOS 11.3 came out and if you using a non-original-battery, you shouldn't be able to use the new "Battery Health"-feature, because it just supports original batterys from Apple.

This and all the topics i will link you now, made it clear for me, that non-original-batterys (regardless where you got it from) doesn't work like original ones.

1.) [iOS 11.3] Battery Health - Replaced Battery?! (This topic includes pictures!)

2.) Boot loop when battery is empty (One of the earlier topics after the problem become public! See last post especially!)

3.) iPhone 7 stuck in boot loop after screen replacement

4.) Low battery shutoff problems

+ alot more topics you can find while using Google!

What can I do now?

If you haven't replaced your original battery already, I just can recommend you to go to Apple and let it replace as long as they have the $29-campagne! If you replaced it already, you can ask them for help too or trying to get a OEM-battery and hope it works fine!

I hope this topic made all the issues a bit clearer and helps others aswell!

Answer this question I have this problem too

@nick - Why did you move this to Meta? It was best to leave it in the Answers section so others could see. Thats why I pointed to it with my note.

@nick - Lets put it back

If you want place a link to my note here in Meta Re: Backlight stopped working, but external video is fine so they can see the IFIXIT response.

Delete all our stuff as well so its like it was.

Thank you for moving this topic back where it belongs.

Today I tried a original battery I bought from eBay and it works like it should with the battery and "charge-me"-icon.

It's 100% confirmed, just original batterys work like they should!
