This replacement battery is designed for professional-quality maintenance and allows for restoring battery life close to that of the original on Apple smartphones. Designed for repairers, it combines a new cell, reliable management electronics, and full regulatory compliance, for stable, safe, and surprise-free repairs in the workshop.

Our difference is not based on a marketing promise, but on transparency: we precisely document the product's real characteristics and its behaviour in iOS, so that you can undertake every repair with full knowledge of the facts.

A reliable and accurate charge status

The battery incorporates a Texas Instruments fuel gauge chip that calculates the charge status accurately and keeps it correct over time. The displayed percentage remains consistent with the actual battery life, without sudden drops or erratic values. This fine energy management contributes to system stability and a consistent user experience throughout the charge cycle.

Compatibility and display in iOS

Depending on the iPhone model and the iOS version, the device may indicate that it is unable to verify the origin of the battery. This behaviour is normal for any battery not manufactured by Apple (excluding the Prime range): it does not affect performance, safety, or the product's lifespan.

The battery health status remains viewable: directly in iOS on recent models, or using workshop diagnostic software on all models. You thus keep complete control of the battery's actual status, before and after installation.

Technical specifications

• New cell, zero cycle: each battery is based on a new, never-used cell.
• Lithium cobalt chemistry: a stable and proven chemistry, guaranteeing consistent performance over time.
• Capacity equivalent to original: capacity (mAh) equivalent to that of the original battery, for battery life faithful to expectations.
• Long-lasting endurance: number of charge cycles of the same order as an original battery, under normal conditions of use.
• Texas Instruments gauge: reliable and durable reading of charge status and battery life.
• Integrated protections: protection against overcharging, overvoltage, short circuits, and excessive temperatures.
• Pre-installed adhesive: for quick and secure installation.
• CE compliance: lithium-ion polymer battery compliant with European requirements.
• Pre-market checks: each reference is subject to rigorous compliance tests before being placed on the market.

Safety and best handling practices

The manufacturing quality of our batteries is subject to strict controls that manage the risks of intrinsic defects. The rare cases of thermal runaway are therefore almost systematically linked to external factors during transport, installation, or final use.

Respecting best practices by the technician is the key to a reliable and durable repair:

• Mandatory inspection before installation: It is the repairer's responsibility to carry out a careful and meticulous visual inspection of the new battery before installation. This step is crucial and requires your full attention. Look for any anomaly (swelling, traces of leakage, whitening, electrolyte odour) which must lead to its rejection.
• Chassis check: Before installation, ensure that the battery compartment is perfectly clean, without foreign bodies (screws, debris). The slightest roughness can create excessive pressure and damage the battery.
• Internal component pressure: When closing the device, particular vigilance is required. Ensure that no abnormal pressure is exerted on the battery by elements such as screen clips, which could damage its casing.
• Vigilance regarding chargers: Make your customers aware of the importance of using original or certified chargers. A poor-quality charger can neutralise protection circuits and cause overcharging, constituting a proven risk factor.

Compliance and regulatory obligations

UTOPYA respects all regulatory obligations relating to the placing of lithium-ion batteries on the market. Each product is accompanied by an EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC), a document attesting that rigorous compliance checks have been carried out prior to marketing, in accordance with European requirements (Directive 2013/56/EU).

As a producer, UTOPYA pays the legal eco-contribution on each battery placed on the market, guaranteeing their end-of-life management. This approach is part of our commitment to a responsible circular economy and complies with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations.
