Battery Testing Info

Device Specific, Documents, Part Info
Battery Info, Going to try and post topics to help you all in my 'free time' hahaha enjoy! “Design capacity” is the total energy storage that the battery was designed to have. Newly manufactured batteries should have a capacity very near to its “design capacity.” Over time its capacity will start to drop. Depending on the temperature, number of recharges, rate of charges, rate of discharges, number and severity of overdischarges, and average charge state throughout the battery’s life, its capacity will start to fall below the battery’s design capacity. Once it reaches 80%, it’s typically considered to be at…

Battery Paring XR, XS & XS Max

Device Specific, Part Info, Soldering
Hey Techs... So, some news, not something to make you run but get empowered. Apple, some time ago, installed the same sort of chip as the Touch ID on the battery. We found out about this a week ago but wanted to accumulate information before sending this out. We have linked many videos about this from multiple sources associated with the Right of Repair Act. You should really get involved with this movement for issues just like this. Now we believe there will be a fix for this and it's not as if the phone does not work at all,…
