“Heavy duty” aka zinc carbon 9v battery’s are stacked (at least nearly always?) and alkaline 9v batteries have the AAAA’s in them. So it depends on the battery chemistry. This technically makes the 9v a battery (while an AA or AAAA is technically just a cell, not a battery. But common parlance has made both be called batteries now) What I’m not sure on is: are the AAAA’s in an 9v alkaline for manufacturing cost reasons (due to scale of producing round cells) or required due to containment reasons. I suspect the latter as I haven’t seen AAAA’s outside a 9v very often.

@@alf3071My guess is that they needed a higher voltage battery for portable electronic devices and needed to keep it relatively small. Just my guess though.
Yes. There are generally two styles of 9V batteries. One is a stacked pyle like Jerry showed, and the other is 6 AAAA cells bonded in series like one would see in a lithium battery of 18650s. The commonality is a series of six 1.5V cells.
This must be much easier for a recycler standpoint - instead of hand-pulling adhesive tabs one by one they can just connect some alligator clips to the phone and work on the next phone while the adhesive melts away. Possibly could even be automated with a machine.
i'm kind of skeptical of how this will work on the long term, sure they're unsticking pretty easily now that the phone is brand new but as the adhesive goes old im afraid the voltage alone wont be enough

Why do these phone batteries need such strong adhesives anyway? As long as it is not rattling around, then what does it matter? My laptop battery is not glued in, and it works just fine. What about screws?
I guess for the insurance that during the lifetime of the device , the little black bomb doesn’t come loose and explode. But it could also just to keep you from repairing it yourself and coming back to the manufacture every time.
Phones experience being knocked around much, much more. Back when phones had removable backs and batteries weren’t glued in, batteries would fall out if you dropped your phone, causing it to power off and be restarted the next time you powered your phone, which was super annoying. It would also create sparks which could be pretty dangerous at times. Im guessing even with a back fixed on, the battery could move around and come loose or create sparks inside of the phone, not sure.
People do stuff like mount phones to motorbikes... the amount of vibration the phone gets is huge and the battery is a LARGE internal mass so unless it is very well secured it will break free of the weak adhesive hinge. Why not screws? Well when these batteries get old they start to swell, the last thing you want is an old phone that you have forgotten sitting in a drawer in your home to have its battery start to swell and then pinch in around the screws. Glueing down one side of the battery to a case and having the other side push against a smooth surface reduces any focal points when the battery swells reducing the chance of a fire! Furthermore the adhesive holding the phone shut is designed to be just weak enough that when the battery slowly swells it will bust open the phone case rather than crush the battery in place... You want your phone to break open rather than catch on FIRE!!

It went from "Iphones are not repairable" to "iphones are actually somewhat repairable". Iphone and repairable could always be said in the same sentence
@@raiden1425 i am also not a fan of samsung aproach for this although idk if its practical, but its way cooler than adhesive pull tab, and i wonder if it has less forces to pull the battery wich in turn has less stress to the battery case and not being a hazard happy little spicy pillow
The biggest impediment is still getting into the phone itself. If they could adapt this technology for unsealing the adhesive around the frame of the phone, it would make self-repair a cinch, especially the battery replacement. Presumably the hard part is providing a metal strip around the phone to which the adhesive strip would be attached and that could be connected to 9V (from the USB C cable) via a switch toggled by a developer mode setting when maintenance is required. Surely not beyond the capabilities of a corporation with a $31 billion annual R&D budget, right...?
I was a phone tech for Apple for a few years, and the amount of phones I killed while I learned to do replacements was high. It looks simple, but be sure to back up your information before bringing your phone into the shop!
Apple didn’t feel generous to do this. It’s going to be requires by law in the EU to have phone batteries and screens easily repairable by consumers by 2027. They’re simply accustoming their phones to these new standards.
Cool video It looks like apple started to think about People that doesn t have money to fix at a apple store Wanted to ask what do you do with phones that are broken after your durability tests? Thanks for video
All the phones you see in my videos are taken apart and used for parts. I currently have about 100 of the motherboards saved up to make an 'epoxy' project... but I wont have time for that till next year probably.
Nice to see results from all the years of people demanding right to repair. Thanks for the hard work. Cheers Apple for listening. Big corporates move slow on these kind of things and sometimes legislation is needed too.

Hey Zach, love your videos. I remember you making a video about trying to switch to iPhone, but not liking some things and switching back to android.

Once the battery is removed, you just bridged the positive and negative terminal of that 9v battery with your pry tool and the battery case itself. Also been a long time since Huel sponsored a video shout-out ✌️
long time watcher, first time commenter. im still using my iphone 6s from early 2016. same battery haha. it says service battery and only has 72 percent but it will hold a charge for roughly 6 hours or so. only one if you are using it intensely.
I got a new battery for my old 6S from Injured Gadgets 2.5 years ago for like $15 including shipping. Battery technology has actually improved enough over the years to the point where you can fit up to a 2200 mAh in that phone as opposed to 1715, meaning that it would be even better than OEM. (There are a bunch of fake 3000+ batteries, but the 2200 ones are real as long as they come from a reputable source like Amp Sentrix or Injured Gadgets).
Now they need to put the same adhesive for the back glass and front screen. They could do this using a USBC power connector along with a script, or a small ic.
I would love to see him wear cut resistant gloves A6 or above when he slices toward himself like that... You can get some relatively thin gloves with a subtly rubberized coated on the palm and fingers to prevent slipping, all while retaining good dexterity.
lol pretty sure it did, at least for a moment. A short on a typical 9V like that just doesn't get scary _that_ quickly. The handle might also not be conductive.

It will very likely still happen in the future! It happened to me too when I didn't expect it, and now I'm somewhat patiently awaiting the moment when it will happen again
I still kinda hate it. Some basic double sided tape is plenty to hold in the battery and when you need to remove it, you simply pull the battery out. No electricity or prying needed.
@@Ben79k Mmm ..metaphorically maybe correct but technically still wrong electrocution is harm to living …not to objects, machine or in this case adhesive which is non-living…electrocution is not used on non-living… On second thought Metaphorically also wrong title says electrocute iphone…electrocute = killing with electricity…in this case phone still alive ..
If you really want to electrocute something use a piezo spark generator from a lighter. But don't waste power on a spark through air, obviously. This helped me a few times with those pesky intermittent problems with devices, guaranteed to return from RMA with a negative response.
They should use that adhesive for the back + front glass. This would allow a technician to easily remove the glass panels by using an electrical tool that plugs into the charge port.
Maybe Apple has been finally listening to Louis Rossman's right to repair? Kudos to them, repairability is much better for the planet instead of just throwing things out to landfill.😊

It went from "Iphones are not repairable" to "iphones are actually somewhat repairable". Iphone and repairable could always be said in the same sentence
somewhat? this is actually incredibly good, hell its making samsung look bad, and I'm quite anti-apple. lets hope others follow suit
@@raiden1425 i am also not a fan of samsung aproach for this
although idk if its practical, but its way cooler than adhesive pull tab, and i wonder if it has less forces to pull the battery wich in turn has less stress to the battery case and not being a hazard happy little spicy pillow
The biggest impediment is still getting into the phone itself. If they could adapt this technology for unsealing the adhesive around the frame of the phone, it would make self-repair a cinch, especially the battery replacement. Presumably the hard part is providing a metal strip around the phone to which the adhesive strip would be attached and that could be connected to 9V (from the USB C cable) via a switch toggled by a developer mode setting when maintenance is required.
Surely not beyond the capabilities of a corporation with a $31 billion annual R&D budget, right...?
0:20 I see you have the same Astro Amp meter that i have 👀
Ur famous
I was a phone tech for Apple for a few years, and the amount of phones I killed while I learned to do replacements was high. It looks simple, but be sure to back up your information before bringing your phone into the shop!
Apple didn’t feel generous to do this. It’s going to be requires by law in the EU to have phone batteries and screens easily repairable by consumers by 2027. They’re simply accustoming their phones to these new standards.
That electroadhesive is just to look good in your teardown
How do you get the battery back then?
After getting back, does that mean you can't electrocute it again?
Possibly the new battery should come with that glue?
@@gonzalolog yes

Cool video
It looks like apple started to think about People that doesn t have money to fix at a apple store
Wanted to ask what do you do with phones that are broken after your durability tests?
Thanks for video
All the phones you see in my videos are taken apart and used for parts. I currently have about 100 of the motherboards saved up to make an 'epoxy' project... but I wont have time for that till next year probably.
btw it wasn't apple, it was EU who did the azz whopping of apple
@@JerryRigEverything with this new method of removing a battery what happens when you want to put the battery back in? How do you re-adhere back in?
@@rahulnishadxd Exactly. Apple didn't grow a heart, they were forced to change via regulations.
@@MatrixRoland you should use new adhesive, but if you switch polarity the effect reverses and gets sticky again
Nice to see results from all the years of people demanding right to repair. Thanks for the hard work. Cheers Apple for listening. Big corporates move slow on these kind of things and sometimes legislation is needed too.
1:48 Teardown begins
And the ladies love it 😂 I’m 30 now married to my high school sweetheart. In high school I started an iPhone repair business and in fact, my gf at the time did love it
Repairability=YES
Parts=NO
Apple in the nut shell
You can get most parts directly from apple now
I'm not a fan of Apple's products usually, but that is ridiculously cool.
1:07 I like how we were inside the Bag😋

Hey Zach, love your videos. I remember you making a video about trying to switch to iPhone, but not liking some things and switching back to android. If I remember correctly, Apple fixed some of your dislikes about the iPhone with IOS18. Would you consider getting an iPhone now that some changes have been made? Thanks for the time!
Even Linus has moved over to iOS18 and iPhone16. It’s about time for Jerry to atleast do it for a video as an expirement
@@well7885Have you seen the new One UI? It’s basically an iOS 18 rebrand.
What's the difference, let everybody use what they want
Electro boom worries about you to much in a bad way Jerry !!!!
0:30, some 9v batteries are just tiny aaa like battery next to each other
yup, wanted to comment exactly that.
Idk why but I thought the “aaa” was something else
I’m so used to stop seeing AAA
Maybe AAAA or AAAAA?
@@superNova5837 🤣🤣
@@KLondike5 hahaha, lets call them AAAAA
The sheer confidence and experience this man has. 😲 I could not bring myself to remove a battery that way. 😨
Does anyone know what are those colourful plastic screwdrivers (without the handle; top left of the screen) at 0:13 called ? I've been trying to buy these but can't find them....
Pry tools I think
Apple's iPhone 16 easy peasy battery removal the coolest I've seen ..but it seems they are making it look easy for Jerry🛠 not to rig🙁 their stuffs apart🤯nice one Apple
3:57 jerry rig how comes ukona clock ya Nairobi, Kenya on your Phone
He is helping build a library in kenya, Maybe that’s why
Once the battery is removed, you just bridged the positive and negative terminal of that 9v battery with your pry tool and the battery case itself. Also been a long time since Huel sponsored a video shout-out ✌️
long time watcher, first time commenter. im still using my iphone 6s from early 2016. same battery haha. it says service battery and only has 72 percent but it will hold a charge for roughly 6 hours or so. only one if you are using it intensely.
Please have your battery replaced, you risk destroying your screen because of battery swelling.
@@luipaardprintnah let him cook it’s his phone
I got a new battery for my old 6S from Injured Gadgets 2.5 years ago for like $15 including shipping. Battery technology has actually improved enough over the years to the point where you can fit up to a 2200 mAh in that phone as opposed to 1715, meaning that it would be even better than OEM. (There are a bunch of fake 3000+ batteries, but the 2200 ones are real as long as they come from a reputable source like Amp Sentrix or Injured Gadgets).
@@luipaardprintI don’t care about this thing
Now they need to put the same adhesive for the back glass and front screen. They could do this using a USBC power connector along with a script, or a small ic.
I would love to see him wear cut resistant gloves A6 or above when he slices toward himself like that... You can get some relatively thin gloves with a subtly rubberized coated on the palm and fingers to prevent slipping, all while retaining good dexterity.
Do those work for punctures or just slices?
Wearing gloves at all is impossible if you’re doing this kind of work.
Why your prying tool didn't create short at @ 4:13.
lol pretty sure it did, at least for a moment. A short on a typical 9V like that just doesn't get scary _that_ quickly. The handle might also not be conductive.
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED LMAOOOOO
Please make a video about how the flashlight on iPhone 16 pro max works. It’s fascinating how you can control the spread of the beam
6:39 I am not only caplable of repairing phones and other tech almost for free, and still girls don't like me. So, not true at all. But I belive Jesus likes it
It will very likely still happen in the future! It happened to me too when I didn't expect it, and now I'm somewhat patiently awaiting the moment when it will happen again
your doing something wrong then cause my back alley repair shop only ever had woman show up except for one guy thats it
@@glitchinglivenot a repair shop…. Ive seen repair shops that dont do phone repairs…
Jesus only likes flash memory repairs, because Jesus Saves.
5:52 always the right wisdom spicy words love it 😂
I still kinda hate it. Some basic double sided tape is plenty to hold in the battery and when you need to remove it, you simply pull the battery out. No electricity or prying needed.
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
I forget your channel I search in search for this Jerry bold iPhone guy search engine show me your first video 😅
3:21 electrocution is wrong choice of words… as an electrical engineer had to point it out sorry… :)
The adhesive was killed by the shock. Sounds like the perfect description to me especially for a video title
@@Ben79k
Mmm ..metaphorically maybe correct but technically still wrong electrocution is harm to living …not to objects, machine or in this case adhesive which is non-living…electrocution is not used on non-living…
On second thought Metaphorically also wrong title says electrocute iphone…electrocute = killing with electricity…in this case phone still alive ..
Ooh we getting real techy in this video
I still miss removable and easily replaceable batteries....
me too but no iphone nor ipod has ever had those :/
Why though?
I got so sick of the white adhesive pads always ripping every single time i go in to replace an ip battery. This is truly a game changer
this 5 minute video starts at 1:48
If you really want to electrocute something use a piezo spark generator from a lighter. But don't waste power on a spark through air, obviously. This helped me a few times with those pesky intermittent problems with devices, guaranteed to return from RMA with a negative response.
Still not in jail ?
Wdym
They should use that adhesive for the back + front glass. This would allow a technician to easily remove the glass panels by using an electrical tool that plugs into the charge port.
Maybe Apple has been finally listening to Louis Rossman's right to repair? Kudos to them, repairability is much better for the planet instead of just throwing things out to landfill.😊
No.. its more like the EU threatening Apple with huge fines if they continue with this anti-r2r BS
@@HvV8446yep everything good that apple has been doing is only because eu is forcing them too lol
seeing how hard it is to obtain parts should make you suspect that this is not the case
@@HvV8446 The EU law in question will not apply to water proof devices (like the iPhone) we will see if apple cares about that law if they update the iPads and AirPods.
Thank folks like Louis Rossmann for their work in this Apple change of philosophy.
3:36 Stealing other peoples ideas?
fun 9v thing. There are also ones that instead of 6 stacked cells you ill find 6 what look like smaller then normal AAA batteries. These are AAAA sized batteries used in some nitch applications.
