iFixit, renowned for its DIY repair guides and tools, has once again made a significant breakthrough with the introduction of the VoltClip. This innovative USB-powered tool offers a convenient and efficient alternative to traditional methods for removing the iPhone 16's battery.

Addressing the Challenge of Debonding Adhesive

Apple's latest iPhone, the iPhone 16, features a new electrically debondable adhesive that securely holds the battery in place. While Apple recommends using a 9V battery and alligator clips for removal, iFixit's VoltClip provides a more streamlined and user-friendly solution.

This revolutionary USB-powered tool offers a convenient and efficient alternative to traditional methods, eliminating the need for fumbling with batteries and alligator clips. With the VoltClip, you can quickly and easily remove your iPhone 16's battery in just 60-90 seconds.

How Does the VoltClip Work?

The VoltClip, priced at $10.95, is equipped with a pair of alligator clips and a 12V DC adapter that converts a barrel connector to a USB-C port. When connected to a device that supports USB-C power delivery, such as iFixit's portable soldering station, the VoltClip can output either 9 or 12 volts of power. The VoltClip delivers a powerful output that effortlessly debonds the adhesive holding the battery in place.

Why Choose the VoltClip?

• Convenience: No more fumbling with batteries or worrying about accidental voltage spikes.
• Efficiency: Quickly and easily remove your iPhone 16's battery in just 60-90 seconds.
• Versatility: The VoltClip can be used for other applications beyond battery removal, such as jump-starting RC cars or reviving dead smart door locks.
• Cost-Effective: Investing in the VoltClip can save you money in the long run, especially if you anticipate frequent repairs.

A Cost-Effective and Convenient Option

While you can certainly purchase a 9V battery and alligator clips for a one-time battery replacement, the VoltClip offers a more long-term solution for those who anticipate frequent iPhone repairs. Its portability and ease of use make it a valuable addition to any DIY repair kit.

iFixit's VoltClip is a welcome addition to the world of DIY smartphone repairs. Its USB-powered design and ability to efficiently remove the iPhone 16's battery make it a convenient and cost-effective option for those who prefer to take matters into their own hands. As iFixit continues to expand its product line, we can expect to see even more innovative tools that empower consumers to repair their devices independently.
