iClarified - Apple News News to help you stay current with your Mac, iPhone, iPod, iPad and other Apple Products https://www.iClarified.com How Replacement iPhone Batteries Are Made [Video]

iFixit has shared a new video offering a behind-the-scenes look at how replacement batteries for the iPhone are manufactured at scale.

The footage follows Lead Teardown Tech Shahram Mokhtari through a factory in China that produces nearly 13 million lithium-polymer cells a month. He walks through the assembly process, showing how battery cells are paired with the electronics needed to operate safely inside an iPhone. The tour follows iFixit's recent trip to the region where the team tore down counterfeit Apple products purchased in Shenzhen.

A major focus of the demonstration is the Battery Management System (BMS). This small board protects the battery from overcharging and deep discharging. Mokhtari shows how batches of blank BMS boards are programmed with the appropriate firmware before being spot-welded to the battery cells. The boards are then carefully folded and insulated with Kapton tape to prevent short circuits while keeping the final design as compact as possible.
