Thank you so very much for posting this video with its diagram. The instructions that came from my Amazon sold battery replacement kit didn't have 1. It tried to describe them & it was less than 8. After trying to charge the battery 4 hours without having enough power to turn phone on, I decided to see what videos might be available. Yours was my 2nd to watch. 1st video was person pointing to spots on phone with their screwdriver at "gopro on the head" distance. Turns out the battery cable "plug" couldn't completely seat into the "outlet" when all 8 screws aren't removed.
I did NOT get such luck using a hair dryer to remove my buddy and had to get 91% isopropyl alcohol to hopefully remove it. It as the stock samsung battery. Thankfully my phone still powers on and works fine, but need to continue repairs in the morning. UPDATE: Got my 90% isopropyl alcohol and finished my repair, your video was VERY helpful towards the end of the repair! Thank you! Will use again in future if I need to do this again which I hope I don't!
@@halfmoontechlabs You're welcome! The part that confused me, though using some mental logic I figured it out, was where and how to apply the adhesive, but I looked at the markings from the adhesive I had removed the day before and figured out which side to apply it too. Otherwise, very solid repair guide video. I wish iFixIt had done a video like this instead of leaving one confused from pictures and not explaining how to put everything back into place.
@@Grid21 Hard to cover all possibilities in one video, but I try to cover what I know, or have learned as I go through a repair myself, and then try to pass it on to help others in the same predicament. Again, glad it was useful, and thanks for watching!
It only took me like 20 minutes. The back of my phone had already been all cracked up so I applied a new one of those at the end too. But when I pryed off the back it really wasnt stuck on all that well? I heated it a bit and it really lifted off so easily, same with the battery. The glue really wasnt that strong. So it made it very easy. My battery life now with the new one still sux lol. I like this phone and its almost 6 years old. I may try rooting it before i get a new phone just in case I brick it, Im not afraid to just get a new one..but I am kinda attached to this little S10e lol.
My battery life is actually really good, and still comparable to stock, sorry to hear yours is not. And yes, I'm still attached to my s10e, really has been one of my favorite cells in a long time! Thanks for watching.
I replaced the battery on my phone yesterday. The OEM battery lasted nearly 5 years. I bought the iFIXIT kit for the S10e. Pros: The kit includes all the tools you'll need. I charged the new battery yesterday and it's currently at 50% after 24 hours of normal phone use. Cons: The only way to properly re-seal the phone is to remove ALL THE OLD ADHESIVE. This video makes it look easy, it's not. Even with a heat gun and 91 isopropyl alcohol, it took a couple of hours to get all the old adhesive off. I reused the original back cover which was not damaged. While using the alcohol to get the old adhesive off the back cover, the adhesive holding the camera bezel melted and the camera bezel fell off. The kit DOES NOT INCLUDE PRECUT ADHESIVE FOR THE CAMERA BEZEL. The kit does include a card of various sizes of adhesive strips. I used some of those adhesive strips to reattach the camera bezel, it worked but it was tedious. Bottom line: Was it worth it? It takes patience and a bit skill to complete the job properly. If your phone is in good condition...my phone was like new apart from the weak OEM battery...it will probably be worth the time. If your phone has other issues besides the battery, it may be time for a new phone.
What do you mean with the battery only lasted 5 years? Did it just stop working completely or suddenly drained way too quickly? Or did it just come to a point where it charged to an unacceptable power level? My s10 of over 5 years is doing just fine. The battery has surely degraded a lot but it's not at a point where I need to keep it near a charger all the time.
@@Rayer24 I can add that as mentioned in another post that of the two S10e's that I purchased together, one developed battery issues only a few years into operation, and the other is still working perfectly years after the first one failed. These phones are used and charged under nearly identical situations, yet the lifespan was nowhere near the same. I think it speaks to the large variability in battery quality used in these phones, and that as nice as Li-ion is as a battery chemistry, we still have a way to go when it comes to lot to lot quality and reliability. Thanks for watching!
Just changed the battery following your videos! Thank you for taking the time to make this! I also followed your advice and went with ifixit although the adhesive strips could have been a bit better as it was hard to pull off once I had it in place.
0:22 now that would make the decision to change the battery a whole lot easier.. I'm still in the grey area of whether it's better to leave well enough alone or try to improve it and risk killing the patient.😅
@@dubmob151 Yes, when it's this swollen, you are now tempting fate by continuing to use it. At that point IMO the decision to attempt a repair that has a high probability of success far outweighs the risk of choosing to take no action. I'd rather break my phone trying, than risk fire and/or injury by being complacent! Thanks again for watching!
Thanks for the step by step video on this as I'm about to tackle this job over the weekend. Curious how the replacement battery has held up in the almost two years since it was replaced?
It's been ≈21 months since the replacement, and the phone is still working perfectly! No noticeable degradation, even under heavy use. Thanks for watching, and best of luck!
I rather like the BigClive-style disembodied hands setup. Gives a good view of what's going on. I almost forgot who I was watching and half-expected a labeled explosion containment pie dish to come in frame once you got the phone open.
I did not, however this phone in actual use beside it's twin (we have 2) with the stock battery still shows no discernable difference in capacity, even under heavy use... we have been very pleased with it. Thanks for watching!
Hello, this a great video showing the full process, I wonder does that's replacement battery give you more use time between charges compared to the original one?
The replacement battery has proven to have about the same capacity as the original battery did when it was new... so it has proven to be a good choice. Even later now, with months of charge/discharge cycles since this video was made, I have been impressed with the longevity of the new cell. Thanks for watching!
@@ibrahimnaseem40 Short answer? "Similar to original". The longer answer is this is completely dependent on what you are doing, like talking, watching videos, listening to music, etc... as well as whether you are in-network, and proximity to cell tower(s). So the best answer I can give is that there seems to be no difference in longevity as compared to OEM battery when it was new. With casual everyday use, typically we'll see a 70±% charge left over at end of day, and if it has been lightly used, and just sitting on standby... 2 days is not uncommon. Thanks for watching!
@@halfmoontechlabs if she has that much capacity left after a day, consider turning on the charge limit setting if the OS version supports it. Only charging to 80 or 90% will help conserve the battery's life (I'm looking at replacing my OEM battery soon, and 4 years after release, I'm a bit worried about whether replacements will be available when the replacement dies).
@@Phoen1x883 On the Samsung Galaxy S-10e, the path is: Settings-->Battery & Device Care-->Battery-->More battery settings-->Protect battery. On the current software, this is hard set to 85%, not adjustable, but still great advice for more casual users. Thanks for the advice, and for watching!
As mentioned around 14 mins, that is the back of the display behind the battery, and you should be cautious so as to not be too forceful with tools or pressure there, as you could damage the display if you force things. Thanks for the question, and for watching!
Approx 16 months after replacing, it has shown no measurable degradation, even after using fast charging and wireless charging exclusively. Exceeded my expectations to be honest, working great! Thanks for checking out the video, and take care.
I mention the iFixit kit about 4 mins into the video, which includes the battery. I originally purchased from Amazon, but I had a hard time finding it just now... but the iFixit site still shows it available: www.ifixit.com/products/galaxy-s10e-replacement-battery Hope this helps!
Some have really aggressive adhesives holding in battery. Generally, proper warming of front of phone (screen side) followed with slow but steady pressure, and it will slowly start to "give", and peel away from inside phone. Heat, gentle force, and time eventually win out over the adhesive. Good luck, and thanks for watching!
It is not an OEM Samsung battery, no. There are many aftermarket batteries that are made to the same specifications, and this review was specifically to see how the iFixit brand kit worked. It works great! Thanks for watching ;)

in this case the battery needed it, the S10 does have an issue with system cache, clearing that added a day on to mine.
