    • Before you begin, discharge your iPhone battery below 25%. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured.

    • Power off your iPhone before beginning disassembly.

    • Your phone's rear cover may have two #000 Phillips screws or Apple's 5-Point "Pentalobe" screws. Check which screws you have, and ensure you also have the correct screwdriver in order to remove them.

    • Remove the two 3.6 mm Pentalobe or Phillips #000 screws next to the dock connector.

    • Remove the single 1.5 mm Phillips screw securing the battery connector to the logic board (if present).

    you do not need to take the battery out as chuck said so you dont run the risk of braking the battery connector socket from the logic board

    Won't you need the battery removed to access the large-headed screws on the side which hold the front display?

    In my situation, the #00 screwdriver had a hard time trying to get the screws off. Using a glasses screwdriver kit may be a better alternative if the screws are resistant to the #00 screwdriver.

    Unfortunately the battery screw was already stripped probably from original assembly. We used a pair of nail clippers as pliers to grab a hold of the screw by the edges to turn it. If it hadn't have been for the stripped screw it would have taken us about 10 minutes, as it was it took us 30-40 minutes if you count searching for solutions for removing the stripped screw.

    • Use the edge of a plastic opening tool to gently pry the battery connector up from its socket on the logic board.

    • Be very careful to only pry up on the battery connector and not the socket on the logic board. If you pry up on the logic board socket, you may break it entirely.

    • Remove the metal clip covering the antenna connector.

    I don't see the metal clip covering the antenna connector, in the photo or in my phone. Hope this isn't a deal breaker.

    I don't see it either. I think the metal clip is on the model A1332. The GSM model.

    • Pull up on the exposed clear plastic tab to peel the battery off the adhesive securing it to the iPhone.

    • If the tab breaks before the battery is freed, apply a few drops of high concentration (over 90%) isopropyl alcohol under the edge of the battery. Wait about one minute for the alcohol solution to weaken the adhesive. Carefully slide a spudger under the battery tab to release the adhesive.

    • Prying in other places may cause damage. Don't try to forcefully lever the battery out. If needed, apply a few more drops of alcohol to further weaken the adhesive. Never deform or puncture the battery with your pry tool.

    • If there's any alcohol solution remaining in the phone, carefully wipe it off or allow it to air dry before installing your new battery.

    • Remove the battery.

    • If your replacement battery came in a plastic sleeve, remove it before installation by pulling it away from the the ribbon cable.

    • Before reassembly, clean metal-to-metal contact points with a de-greaser such as windex. The oils from your fingers have the potential to cause wireless interference issues.

    • Perform a hard reset after reassembly. This can prevent several issues and simplify troubleshooting.

    Note that the pull tab is not actually attached to the battery. It is attached to the iPhone chassis, and is only used to separate the battery from the adhesive. (Don't expect it to come out with the battery!)

    Also, the adhesive is VERY strong. I had to use my plastic opening tool to assist in prying the battery loose. This is probably the most nerve-wracking part of the job.

    It is much easier to slightly WARM the battery with a HAIRDRYER not a HEAT GUN to soften the adhesive. DO NOT GET BATTERY HOT AND DO NOT USE HEAT GUN

    I just did this today. Everything was as scripted. Mine had lots of adhesive and had to use plastic spudger to go around battery to loosen up. Do not use plastic tab until you can see under battery a little bit. Great instructions. Took less than 10 minutes.

    The adhesive is very strong and I was initially worried about damaging the phone by prying so much. There are a couple of places below the volume switch where you can pry between the metal of the case and the battery. If you lift the battery just a little, wiggle the pry bar further in and then start moving down the case. Don't worry about bending the battery, its dead anyway.

    Do not pry on the left side (circuit board side) and do not use the pull tab until the adhesive is broken loose.

    I tried this at first with a plastic pry tool, and the adhesive was so strong that I broke the tool. I then used a large screwdriver and applied pressure very slowly along various places on the outer side of the battery. That eventually did the trick.

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.

To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

I actually had the plastic tab break off when I was trying to remove the battery. Any advice?

The plastic opening tools were amazing flimsy- the tips broke off both of them while trying to get the battery out.

The adhesive attaching the battery was very strong and the pull tab actually ripped, though it did not come off.

When I replace my battery for a new one it says accesory not permited or something like that, and I tried with every single battery I found (iphone 4 GSM, Iphone 4s..) is there something I could do? is the battery of iphone 4 CDMA Verizon different from others?

Daniele Gugliotta - Responder

I have a Verizon iPhone 4. Got it the first day Verizon started selling them over 2 years ago. Followed the guide. Completed the task in 10 mins. The battery adhesive must have weakened some. Did not need to use pull tab at all. Just the pry tool along the outer side of battery as mentioned by other users. Thanks ifixit!! Saved me a contract slot. With a family of 4, that is a big savings.

Has anyone had trouble with the battery draining really really <i.e. 10% in 15 min> fast after removing the battery?

revanantwraith - Responder

Directions posted above worked perfectly for me. The battery was glued in pretty tight (phone is a couple years old) but was able to pry it out with the tool, working my way around the edges. Total time about 10 minutes.

Thanks so much!

This was very easy. The plastic tab did breeak off, but it seemed brittle to begin with. I had to use the pry took to separate the bttery from the case, but it came out easily. Reassembly was a bit tricky getting the battery connection lined back into the logic board. Once it was properly aligned it went fast after that. I had ordered the "Liberation Kit" along with the battery and there was no extra cost for the "Kit". This was a great deal. THANK YOU iFixit for helping us peons to fix it ourselves!

The CDMA iPhone 4 battery replacement is quite easy especially if you get the ifixit tool kit with the battery. The tab did break quite easily a hair dryer (not a heat gun) on low helped soften the glue (warm up the battery to soften ) DO NOT BAKE! Took all of 10 Minutes.

Simple and straight forward replacement of battery. Right tools and step by step instructions took less than 10 minutes. IPhone 4 is up and running. $25 total with shipping versus $600 for a new phone and another BS contract with a wireless company where they screw you out of services and make you pay for things when you weren't paying for them before. Thank you Ifixit!

Read comments above before starting. Had no issues at all. Did not strip screw heads and battery was removed easily. Tools worked well and didn't break. Did not have to do a hard restart as well. Now, just need to drain the new battery to 10% so I can fully charge. Learn from others issues and avoid problems by reading the above.
