How to Replace iPhone 12 Pro Battery?

1: Battery Protection Board Encryption:

The iPhone 12 Pro uses an encrypted battery protection board. Replacing the battery with a non-original one requires additional steps:

Swapping the Protection Board: Use a welding machine to transfer the original protection board to the new battery cell.

2: Rewriting Battery Data

For Models Before 2018: Use a programmer to rewrite the battery data.

For Models After 2018 (XS and Above): In addition to swapping the board and rewriting data with a programmer, attach a tag-on flex to bypass Apple’s authentication key.

Note: If these steps are not followed, a “genuine battery” alert will appear after the replacement.

3: Using an Official Apple Battery

Connect to Wi-Fi: Ensure the phone is connected to Wi-Fi.

Apple Service Toolkit 2 (AST2):

  • Log in to AST2.
  • Fill in the battery serial number and run a diagnostic test on the phone.
  • After diagnostics, proceed with the battery replacement.
