New Battery causing restart every 3-5 minutes on iPhone 5 SE

Hey everyone,

The past few days have been extremely frustrating. I purchased a replacement battery for my iphone SE off ebay. It came in the mail and I took my shot at replacing the battery (I used to repair iphones in 2015-2016). All went pretty smoothly except the original battery was hard to get off with all the adhesive. Needless to say, that battery is no longer. I put in the new replacement battery and reassembled the phone. Everything seemed to be okay until the phone started to restart on its own after 3-5 minutes. There was no way to stop it and the phone was reading weird battery percentages. Sometimes 1%, sometimes 100%, and sometimes around 20%.

Since then I have ordered a new battery from Amazon and installed that one as well.

Unfortunately, the problem persists...

I also noticed my phone is a bit laggy. I'll go to my calls menu and having the names of recent calls takes unusually long to load up.. Switching begin screens also seems sluggish.

Any ideas on a possible solution?

Check around the battery connector to see if some of the small components are knocked off.

Yes, my concern would be that you may have caused some pry damage if you had to struggle to get the old battery off. Check for the components all along the edge of the logic board, nearest the battery. Look for any signs of broken or dislodged components. Also double check the screen flexes to insure there is no damage.
