How to distinguish between standard, high-capacity, and over-capacity mobile phone batteries? How to choose the right iPhone battery?

As the name suggests, standard-capacity, high-capacity, and ultra-high-capacity mobile phone batteries are commonly referred to as standard-capacity, high-capacity, and over-capacity mobile phone batteries. So, what's the difference between the three? When we replace the battery of an Apple mobile phone, how should we make the right choice?

How to distinguish between standard, high-capacity, and over-capacity mobile phone batteries?

Standard, high-capacity, and over-capacity mobile phone batteries are mainly different in terms of battery capacity, volume and service life. Taking the Apple mobile phone battery as an example, the three can roughly perform as follows:

Standard capacity battery: We generally use the original battery of the Apple mobile phone as a reference, and its battery capacity is relatively small, especially in the first few generations of Apple mobile phones. However, today, with the rapid development of mobile phone battery technology, the energy density of batteries has jumped greatly compared to before, and the capacity of batteries of the same volume is naturally larger than before. Original batteries are small in size and usually retain sufficient design redundancy to cope with the bulging expansion phenomenon after the ageing and decay of lithium cobalt oxide batteries, thereby preventing excessive squeezing of the screen and case. The theoretical number of cycles (full charge and discharge) is about 500-1000.

High-capacity battery: It can provide higher energy density and larger battery capacity, with relatively large volume and a service life of more than 500 cycles.

Super-capacitive batteries: Higher density battery materials or larger volumes are often used to provide far more range than the original battery. However, some materials with high energy density may sacrifice some of the cycling performance, which may result in a reduction in the number of cycles.

How to choose the right iPhone battery?

To this day, Apple's original battery still uses lithium cobalt oxide battery solutions, in addition to the same lineage of Desay, Xingwangda and other brand manufacturers, qualified third-party batteries still have a lot of value options.

Taking Guangxin Hongsheng as an example, the factory produces and supplies a full range of Apple mobile phone batteries, and since its establishment 11 years ago, it has gathered a large number of customers to provide mobile phone battery OEM/ODM production and wholesale services.

As we all know, the two core components of a mobile phone battery are the battery cell and the protection board. The quality of the battery cell determines the battery life, and the protection board scheme is related to the safety of the battery.

For Apple mobile phone users, the pain point of replacing the battery is the cost and experience. The original battery is more expensive and fits seamlessly with the phone. The price of the third-party battery is greatly reduced, and the battery life is no different from the original or even exceeds the original battery, and the pain point is that the pop-up window prompt and the battery health are unknown. However, after upgrading to the latest iOS 18.1, the above problems can be easily solved.

What is clear is that the Apple phone has now revolutionised the third-party battery market. But it doesn't mean that users can choose third-party mobile phone batteries at will. After all, it is still necessary to choose a regular brand and manufacturer to replace the battery to be more secure.

It is worth noting that even if it is an original or reliable third-party battery, users still need to follow the installation tutorial specifications when replacing the battery of the Apple mobile phone, otherwise it is likely to cause damage to the mobile phone or installation errors.

In the selection of standard, high-capacity and over-capacity batteries, users can choose reasonably according to their own needs. Generally speaking, the higher the capacity of the third-party battery, the longer the battery life, and the higher the price. Although the price difference is not large, the room for improvement is very considerable, and Apple mobile phone users who have battery life anxiety may wish to experience it boldly.
