Battery Replacement Kit for Galaxy S7 Edge Battery for S7 Edge G935 EB-BG935ABE with Repair Tools and Instructions

While I was nervous opening my phone and replacing the battery, this kit made it as easy as possible to do the job correctly and it included everything I needed except the heat gun. My battery had swollen up and expanded to the point where my back cover was coming off and I was afraid my phone was going to blow up any minute, so it needed to be done. It took some time but I now have a phone that is good as new for under $20. I watched a few YouTube videos first which I would recommend to everyone before opening your phone. The adhesive for the back was a little tricky to get on straight, but now my phone is sealed and working great!

Put in a few days ago. Do NOT need a hi-temp gun, CAN do with a decent hair dryer. Experiences to share: helps to have two pair of hands, gloved, to protect from the heat. One to hold hair dryer and pull up gently on the suction cup, the other to hold the phone down and do the opening with the pick. Also used hair dryer to try to soften the glue holding the battery in place. The battery is glued down along the undersurface at the sides, think of sticking a deck of playing cards down to a table along the bottom sides. Keep prying instruments on the undersurface at those edges, not more centrally, because then you risk damage to the antenna and probably other vital organs. Also, someone commented that you do not need to remove the bottom panel, just loosen the screws so that the slot/tab holding the middle panel will elevate enough to release the middle panel over the battery. Did that, a good hint that might save some labor. I wore rubberized gloves to help prevent static and to protect from heat of hair dryer. Placed phone on a microfiber cloth to work. Also, because the hair dryer may blow stuff all over the place, put all parts removed out of harm's way. Magnetic parts holder might work for the tiny screws, although I used a kitchen plastic with locking top as most handy. To get off the residual old glue, the fine tips of a sharp tweezers came in handy. When replacing the gasket around the phone to replace the back, it looked to me like what made the most sense was to carefully peel the double-stick gasket from the top and bottom protective plastics and place the gasket into its groove in the phone, then carefully and precisely place the back onto the gasket. The directions, I believe, said to put the gasket onto the back, then the back onto the phone. (But then how do you KNOW that the gasket really got into the groove?) The kit does come with stuff to stick the battery down (I had enough of the original glue left in place when I removed the battery, so I just stuck the battery in with that) and the gasket, but nothing is labeled, and the directions don't have a "parts" guide to tell you what is what. The tips of plastic parts of the kit did bend/break with the heat of the hair dryer, so have some backup plans.Instructions say to completely cycle the battery a number of times and that battery life may not be optimized until a number of cycles of been completed. I've done a few, and will do a few more, running battery a couple percent to 100, then back down. This AM, watched 1.5 hrs of previously downloaded Amazon shows, and the battery level went down about 10% per half hour (100% --> 70% at 1.5 hrs), and battery with my typical use (including that) will last me a day. With light use, 24 hr or more. I have no sophisticated way of judging the battery's capacity. I was just trying to extend the life of this phone, knew the old battery was dying, and wanted to get to it before it swelled or hurt the phone.

I can't really rate battery life since I just got it, however it seems to be working well so far.One word of caution though, and this has nothing to do with product quality.When removing the old battery, which is rather hard, I used several screwdrivers and forcefully pried the batty from the strong glue which also removed a small piece of my screen thus leaving what appears like a black spot. However it is small enough so I will not bother with it. I suggest using rubbing alcohol to release batty and proceed slowly. I do not know what the results would be so you need to decide on how you will remove it.On another note: I wish that the user guide would be more detailed and in more comprehensible English.All in all a very good deal for a low price. Nearly a 100% success but due to my own mistake a slight disappointment.

I bought this battery as the battery in my S7 had swelled up so much it it had popped the back cover off of my phone. I was really worried the battery I had was going to explode. I took the phone to the Samsung service center (I have one close by) and asked how much to replace the battery. They quoted $60 but made the caveat that any other repairs that needed to be done would be and I would be charged. The guy at the desk noticed a crack on my screen and told me that would have to be repaired as well.I asked if I could have them just replace the battery without the additional repairs and they said no and that this was their policy and they couldn't change it.I then tried a couple of other places to see if they would do the work and I couldn't find anyone close by to do the replacement. Well, I have done battery replacements on other phones before, I was just feeling lazy. I found this battery and the price was great! Also, as I said the back had popped off so it was very easy to get open (it was 90% of the way there =). I was able to get the old battery out using some alcohol to soften the adhesive holding the battery in place (a lot of the adhesive had given way due to the swollen battery). I was warned by a mall kiosk (that did repairs but didn't have the battery) that the battery removal can be trick as the battery is glued to the screen which can be easily damaged by the glue. I then popped the new battery in (didn't bother with the glue as I don't generally carry the phone with me and it is being held in place pretty tightly).I did buy a new back cover (it was about $18 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K2SV0AI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) since my old one was cracked. The only thing I would criticize on the adhesive is that they seem to give you a partial adhesive sheet. There are some additional adhesive pads on the back I purchased (the adhesive is already applied) that are not on the sheet that comes with this battery. I have seen other batteries that give you 2 sheets of adhesive with different areas covered by the sheets.As for the life of the battery. I found that after about 36 hours from a full charge on standby sitting on my desk the battery goes to about 25%. You can make your own assessment if that is enough for you or if you want to go for a bigger battery.I do like that the battery does not even try to be a Samsung OEM battery and with the cover having no relation to the original battery.

I was able to change the battery in my old iphone 3.
