How to replace the battery in your iPhone 5s

Difficult

My Problem

Battery wasn't holding a charge the way it used to.

My Fix

Everything was smooth except I had two hiccups. First, the tabs that are supposed to stretch out the adhesive so i could remove the original battery ripped off. I had to slowly pry the battery out without busting it open and destroying my phone in a ball of flames. Two spudgers and a lot of patience did the trick. Secondly, my outer case was dented on one of the corners so replacing the screen assembly was very difficult but I did get it to fit.

My Advice

Go very slowly when pulling the adhesive tabs to remove the battery. The new iFixit battery works very well. Helps to have a little magnetism in the screwdriver to place the tiny screws you need to remove.
