[6000mAh] Galaxy A50 Battery, EB-BA505ABU Battery with Repair Kit

Worked great. I was able to power up the phone after replacing the battery. I was not able to charge it, but had enough power to transfer my data.

I used this kit to repair a swollen battery on an S22 Ultra. Perfect battery fit, quality tools, and despite the complicated procedures to actually replace the battery, this kit was able to revive a $1000 phone that was otherwise headed to the landfill. For a 20-something dollar investment in the kit, it paid off handsomely! Replacing batteries in these phones is not for the faint of heart, as you do risk the possibility of puncturing the battery (the one you're removing), and so you should make sure that is discharged as much as possible before doing the switch. Expect about an hour to 90 minutes to do this yourself.

For the second time this month I find myself with no phone due to an exhausted battery. With normal use this 6k mAh battery should have outperformed my OEM 5k mAh battery. It does not. At best it's a 4k battery. I am now looking at buying a new battery and going through the hassle of opening my phone for a second time. Not happy.

Battery Works good, NOT an easy install but that is on Samsung for holding the phone together with double stick tape inside that needs to be pried part to remove the back of the case and then pried the battery off the phone. The phone was only keeping charge for about half day. Now after installing the new battery is has been running on the same charge for over a week. I'm impressed with the battery and would have done it sooner if I knew how bad my old battery was getting. the Screwdrivers they give you are so-so mystery material they worked for a 1 time install but I would throw them out after they are not quality but you can't argue for the price point they worked ok and you're buying a battery not some junk tools. The prying tool that looks like a guitar pick worked well, the screwdriver only had to take 3x screws out and while tightening up the 2nd last screw the driver was rounding over not the screw. 2x hardest parts were learning how to pop the front face bezel off, which required a lot more force to jamb the tool in than I expected for electronics, and the prying the case back off the phone battery was huge amount of force which felt like the phone was going to snap in half pulling it, I heated it up with a heat gun too per the instructions and it still didn't want to let go easy.

The battery was a great choice..it holds up well

Technically you could replace the battery with everything provided in this kit, if you had a hair dryer. The kit I received did not come with instructions, but there are plenty of videos on youtube. I watched a few videos first before I attempted the procedure. The videos will show the same basic procedure, but with different tools, and perhaps a different order of steps. If you watch a few videos you'll get the gist of what you're supposed to do. You will need a source of heat such as a heat gun, a hair dryer, or a heating pad to soften the glue. This is not included. The included screwdrivers were low quality, and I used my own. The spudger (pry tool) included was okay, but I used my own. The battery is glued in and you need to heat the glue to soften it, and then pry one side up and cut the glue with a thin, but hard and flexible plastic sheet. No such sheet was provided. I was able to do this with an NYC metrocard. A credit card would be too thick. A piece of stiff blister pack plastic could work. It would have been nice if something was provided. The adhesive to hold the replacement battery in place was the wrong size. It looks like the adhesive was for an Iphone battery. You would have to cut the adhesive before applying to get it to fit the S21FE. The biggest issue I have is that there was no adhesive provided to secure the back of the phone case to the phone. You should remove the old torn up adhesive and place a new one to secure the phone backing. A new sheet of adhesive on amazon is about $8, which effectively increases the cost of the replacement. This definitely should have been provided. In terms of battery life, it's holding a charge much longer than the old battery, but that's to be expected. I'm unsure how it compares to the original battery when it was new. It has made my phone much more usable. Edit: I've been using the accubattery app to estimate the capacity of the battery. The battery is marked as 5000mah. Accubattery estimates the rated capacity at 3971mah. The rated capacity of the original Samsung battery is 4370. So the capacity is less than advertised, but not too much lower than the original battery.

Samsung has been making battery replacement more and more difficult. Now in addition to having to deal with removing the fragile glass back cover due to the waterproofing you also have to remove parts of the phone. Six really tiny screws as I recall. Lastly the battery is glued in and needs to be carefully pried out. I should mention that the newer phones are fragile internally so care must be taken. This battery replacement kit contained all the tools necessary to do the job. So no hunting around for the right tool or having to make do with a not so right tool. In my case the battery swelled and dislodged the back cover. This made it easier to remove as long as you take your time and don't try to force it. Otherwise you will have to heat your phone and then slowly pry the back cover off. Consider also buying a replacement back cover. This way if you accidently damage the cover or just don't have the patience to pry it off slowly you're covered. Once you have access to the inside of the phone you need to remove like 6 screws. They are in tight and the heads can get easily stripped. This is probably the hardest part so be careful. Finally you should have access to the battery which will need to be pried out - at least that was what I found. I've been replacing batteries on Samsung phones since the S4 which was trivial by comparison. If it wasn't for the $150 price and a 1-2 day waiting for my phone I would have had the battery store replace this battery. If you choose this route you should be clear on what the process is if your phone comes back damaged which is why I have always swapped the battery myself.

Just installed the new battery and it is working great so far. It was charged at 30% so I'm charging it now to full capacity, then I'll reset the battery settings *#9900#
