Detailed overview: iPhone 16 replacement battery 3561 mAh
This replacement battery for iPhone 16 gives your smartphone a fresh lease of life when its runtime starts to weaken. After a year or two of heavy use, the original battery loses capacity: the iPhone lasts less well through the day, may shut down early, and the battery health shown in settings falls. Replacing the battery restores the original endurance.
With a 3561 mAh capacity, identical to the iPhone 16's factory battery, this new part restores the phone's full runtime. It is supplied new, most often with the removal tools (spudgers, screwdriver, adhesive) needed to do the swap yourself following a guide, or to entrust it to a repairer.
Changing the battery rather than the phone is an affordable choice, for a few tens of pounds, and an eco-friendly one, extending the device's life and limiting electronic waste. As the iPhone 16 is glued and has fragile ribbon cables, the job requires some care, but stays within reach of a methodical DIYer with the right tools. The old battery recycles at end of life at the collection points provided.
We also cover the earlier generations: iPhone 11 battery kit, iPhone 12 battery kit, iPhone 13 battery kit and iPhone 14 battery kit, as well as the one just before: iPhone 15 battery.
Frequently asked questions: iPhone 16 replacement battery 3561 mAh
It rises to 3561 mAh against 3349 mAh on the iPhone 15, about 6 % more. It is the largest capacity of all the generations we cover, from the 11 to the 16, and a distinctly clearer step up than from the 14 to the 15.
As on the other models, 80 % maximum capacity is the marker, in Settings > Battery > Battery Health. The iPhone 16 also shows the cycle count in Settings > General > About. On a recent device, a replacement points to a fault rather than wear: check the warranty first.
It is worth it if you charge every night and do not need the full runtime during the day: less time at high voltage, so slower cell ageing. If you are often away from a socket, the trade-off tips the other way, and the full reserve beats theoretically delayed wear.
