Introduction
Follow this guide to replace the battery on an iPhone 13 Pro Max.
If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
Note: On iOS 17.6 and earlier, your iPhone may display a warning about the “genuineness” of the battery after the repair, even when using original Apple parts. If your iPhone functions normally, you can safely ignore the warning. On iOS 18 and newer, authenticate your new battery using Apple's Repair Assistant.
For optimal performance, after completing this guide, calibrate your newly installed battery: Charge it to 100% and keep charging it for at least two more hours. Then use your iPhone until it shuts off due to low battery. Finally, charge it uninterrupted to 100%.
Ce dont vous avez besoin
-
-
Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.
-
Remove the two 6.8 mm-long pentalobe P2 screws at the bottom edge of the iPhone.
-
-
-
Measure 3 mm from the tip and mark the opening pick with a permanent marker.
-
-
-
Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPhone's screen until the whole face is covered.
-
If you can't get the suction cup to stick in the next few steps, fold a strong piece of tape (such as duct tape) into a handle and lift the screen with that instead.

-
Pull the blue handle backwards to unlock the Anti-Clamp's arms.
-
Slide the arms over either the left or right edge of your iPhone.
-
Position the suction cups near the bottom edge of the iPhone—one on the front, and one on the back.

Squeeze the cups together to apply suction to the desired area.
-
-
-
Push the blue handle away from the hinge to engage opening mode.
-
Turn the handle clockwise until you see the cups start to stretch.
-
Make sure the suction cups remain aligned with each other. If they begin to slip out of alignment, loosen the suction cups slightly and realign the arms.
-
-
-
Support your iPhone on something sturdy such as a hardcover book so it rests hands-free and parallel to the ground; this makes it easier to work with in the following steps.
-
Use a hair dryer to heat along the bottom edge of the iPhone. The screen should feel slightly too hot to touch.
-
Wait one minute to give the adhesive a chance to release and present an opening gap.
-
Insert an opening pick under the screen's plastic bezel when the Anti-Clamp creates a large enough gap.
-
Skip the next three steps.
-
-
-
Use a hair dryer or a heat gun to heat the bottom edge of the iPhone for 90 seconds or until the screen is slightly too hot to touch.
-
-
-
Apply a suction handle to the bottom edge of the phone, while avoiding the very edge of the glass.
-
Pull up on the suction cup with firm, constant pressure to create a slight gap between the screen and the frame.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap under the screen's plastic bezel.
-
-
-
Use a hair dryer to heat the right edge of the iPhone (the edge with the power button) for 90 seconds or until the screen is slightly too hot to touch.
-
-
-
Slide the opening pick around the bottom right corner of the iPhone to separate its adhesive.
-
Continue sliding up the right edge of the iPhone until you reach the top right corner.
-
Leave the pick in the top right corner before continuing.
-
-
-
Use a hair dryer to heat the top edge of the iPhone for 90 seconds or until the screen is slightly too hot to touch.

Twist both picks simultaneously until the left edge clips release.
-
-
-
Remove your suction handle from the screen.
-
Rotate your iPhone so the right edge faces you.
-
Open your iPhone by swinging the display up from the right side, like the front cover of a book.
-
Lean the display against something to keep it propped up while you're working on the phone.

Use a Y000 screwdriver to remove the three 1.3 mm screws securing the battery connector cover.
-
-
-
Use the pointed end of a spudger or a clean fingernail to pry the battery connector up from its socket on the logic board.

-
Outil utilisé dans cette étape :Tweezers$4.99
-
Use a pair of blunt-nosed tweezers to peel down the two battery adhesive pull-tabs along the bottom edge of the battery.
-
-
-
Grab the first pull-tab with your fingers or the center of a spudger and slowly pull it away from the battery, toward the bottom of the iPhone.
-
Pull hard enough to maintain tension on the strip, but don't force it. Give it plenty of time to stretch and un-stick from under the battery.
-
Don't press down on the battery. Hold the iPhone firmly by its sides.
-
Keep the strip flat and unwrinkled. Try to pull evenly on the whole strip, rather than pulling mainly in the middle or on one side.
-
Pull at a low angle so the strip doesn't snag on the edge of the battery.
-
If the adhesive strip breaks off, try to retrieve it using your fingers or blunt tweezers, and continue pulling—but do not pry under the battery.
-
-
-
Grab the second pull-tab with your fingers or the center of a spudger and pull it away from the battery, toward the bottom of the iPhone.
-
Follow the same procedure as with the previous strip: don't press down on the battery, keep the strip flat and unwrinkled, and pull at a low angle.
-
If the adhesive strip breaks off, try to retrieve it using your fingers or blunt tweezers, and continue pulling—but do not pry under the battery.
-
-
-
Using the same procedure as before, pull the remaining two tabs, one at a time, to stretch and remove the remaining adhesive strips holding the battery in place. Try not to snag the adhesive on anything.
-
If you removed all the adhesive strips successfully, skip the next step.
-
Otherwise, continue with the next step below.
-
-
-
If you're still having trouble removing the battery, apply a few drops of high concentration (over 90%) isopropyl alcohol under the edge of the battery in the area of the broken adhesive strip(s).
-
Wait about one minute for the alcohol solution to weaken the adhesive.
-
Use an opening pick or the flat end of a spudger to gently lift the battery.
-
-
-
Remove the battery.
-
If there's any alcohol solution remaining in the phone, carefully wipe it off with a coffee filter or lint-free cloth, or allow it to air dry before installing your new battery.
-
Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.

my battery got small leak and smelly stab by screw driver.. still ok or not?
No the battery is not okay, the battery is dangerous and needs to be disposed of appropriately and safely
Does this come with the bms, I know usually to report the battery health data you need to weld the genuine apple bms on the the battery, I am assuming that it has one but just not the apple one hence why it wont track the battery health? is this correct? i would just like to know before purchasing
I replaced the battery and phone wouldn't charge with cable or wireless is this a problem with the battery or something else and has anyone seen this problem before
How Apple could make this SO %#*@ convoluted, and difficult, extensively pulling out near everything else in the phone, BEFORE you can get to take out the battery?!?
This is UNBELIEVABLE.
I cant believe no one has commented this here before me , also!!
PS, did you guys used to give difficulty score ratings on each teardown? now I see a tiny little "moderate" there but...idk. this is pretty heavy repair for anyone if you're not already familiar and have also kept up to date or at least fixed an iPhone 11 or/preferably and, a 12 Pro Max.
Such a drag....
thanks for the teardown and I'm probably going to buy the battery from you guys , but I really thought id be going into this, pop out those pentalobes and be halfway done already! f%&k!
