Baseus iPhone Battery Review

This one some of you might hear the name before.
Baseus - one of the famous brands in accessories of iPhone.

Baseus iPhone 7 battery 

Packing is nice. Installation manual and tools provided.
The size of the battery is totally the same as the original. It makes me wonder again. 

As usual, I'll use PC app to read it.
This battery really shows the extra capacity.
Unlike the "previous battery review which no show extra capacity than the original.

To be fair, I conducted the test with few rules.

How we test the iPhone battery?

1. Restore the iPhone and latest iOS 12.1.2. No any third party app installed. Clean. 
2. Of course, the iPhone must be in very good condition. No issue and fully original parts. No repair before.
3. Empty the power and charged back 3 times. 3 charged cycled before we test. 
4. Same room temperature
5. No SIM and NO WIFI connected
6. Running offline benchmark app and offline videos to see how long it depleted the battery.
7. Final step, when the phone power is drained empty. We monitor the USB adapter voltage check to see how many mAH this battery absorbed from the charger until 100% full.

Final Step - Charge Speed and Max capacity

We can know how fast it's charging and how much total mAh it holds when it stops charging.

The actual max capacity is important. What's the point of high capacity battery if it's lower mAh than the original max capacity?

At the same time, I'm typing this, another brand of high capacity battery company contacted me. They are willing to give me some of their products to compare.

So I might write more other brands review in the future.

17th Jan 2019 - 1st day
The battery is really better. Noticeable for about 15%.


20th Jan 2019 - 3rd day
The battery now should be in the best condition. But it's decreasing fast like the other so-called high capacity battery.
Now the whole performance it just lasts about 10%% longer time usage.

I need to extend the test a week more because the original battery doesn't decrease the max capacity so fast.

Decreasing it's capacity so fast. 84 mAH is gone.
From 2232 dropped to 2148 in 3 days. Charged 4 times.

One charged cycle should just minus around 1 mAh. Honestly saying that I'm not surprised or disappointed.
But still thanks to our battery sponsor.

26th Jan 2019 - A week after

The battery is good but the actual capacity dropped more again. This means the original battery decreases the maximum capacity slower than the high capacity battery after each cycle charged.

Test conclusion: 

It really extended the usage of time. But only expect for 10%. But the 10% extra would just last for 3 months and then it would be the same performance as the original.

If you keep changing the high capacity battery every 3 months, the performance is good.

Should we use the third party high capacity battery on the iPhone?

Yes if the price is cheaper than original.
Because it's strong in the first few months but weaker than the original after 6 months. 

Again saying, Apple is not stupid.

How to check battery health and original?

Most users upgraded to latest iOS 11.3 or newer.
Inside come with new feature about battery health.

It's normal if it doesn't show maximum capacity after replaced battery (Even from Apple Center). But if it is saying needed to service, then you might having battery problem.

If health below 80% is consider very weak. Should replace it.

Charge twice a day is consider weak too.

However, today topic is "How to check battery true capacity and genuine"

The best way is to use PC program read the "real" capacity and how many charged cycle, genuine battery or fake.

It's called 3uTools 

In new iOS battery health check, you can only see battery health percentage. Surely it's NOT so details and accurate as PC program to check.

By using this 3uTools, we can even know is your battery been replaced before, and battery production date and Serial Number.

If you didn't use PC to read it, you never know the battery you replaced is new and genuine or not. 
If "they" put high grade battery, you never know with this iOS battery health check.

I highly recommend you to download 3uTools to read it.
It comes with a "Full diagnosis" that can even tell you the camera original, iPhone production date, refurbish unit and other more parts to verify it's genuine.

Photo above is the original battery that we replaced.
Since the new battery hasn't been fully charge, so it's 0 times cycle.
Health 100% (Health will become 99% if charged to full once)

As you can see. The battery current condition can hold 2865 mAh. Slightly higher than original design 2855 mAh. 

(It's normal since battery is made by chemical. So it would be + - 5% from factory designed.)

A high quality grade A battery usually between 2300-2600 only. 

Even you bought new iPhone, it might be just 99% health and capacity is slightly lower or higher 5%

Read here if you looking for higher capacity battery:
So far until now, those higher capacity batteries are scam. I have so many customers get cheated.

Higher capacity battery won't exist for Apple iPhone. Because Apple lab had spent so much money to design the iPhone with maximum battery performance. Who can beat their product? Unless that someone has special technology and they selling those to you at cheap price?
