for Pixel 7a Battery Replacement Kit, Replacement Battery for Google Pixel 7a Model GWKK3, GHL1X, G0DZQ, G82U8 with Repair Tools Kit and User Manual

The battery fits correctly, including the cable connection. The instructions are clear. The cheapie plastic tools do the job. And the price is certainly right.If your Pixel 5's battery is swelling up, or failing to hold a charge, this is exactly what you need. And if you're even modestly handy with tools, you can swap the battery in 15 minutes or less.

The battery itself is great! Cheap, works about as well as OEM, and gets rid of the obnoxious limitations Google put on the Pixel 4a with the last update. The accessories however are absolutely useless. Do yourself a favor, get an iFixit kit meant for phone teardowns to do this job. I got lucky and my display had already all but separated from the phone on its own, but I could tell that if I had needed to fight the factory adhesive it would have been wretched with the provided tools. The included replacement adhesives also are a joke, but as a backup backup phone, I didn't really care and just glued the thing. Overall went from about 30 minutes of screen time per charge to about 4 hours.

Installation was easy, though I watched several videos rather than relying on the instruction sheet - which COULD have been more useful if they'd added two suggestions.ONE: Sure, a heat gun can get the phone hot, but there are warnings you can damage everything. Well, my phone has gotten quite hot in the past without damage - how? By accidentally leaving it in the sun. So that's what I did, no heat gun needed, and once it got toasty the adhesive gave way easily, no need for alcohol or any assistance. Same thing for removing the battery, a second dose in the sun heated the screen so the battery came free with easy see-saw motion of the plastic "flosser". I bought isopropol alcohol for nothing, heat did all the work.TWO: My favorite part was replacing the adhesive at the end. It is attached to a plastic sheet that fits over the phone - run your fingernail along the edge and it sticks perfectly in place. A huge relief, since in the past I've had other methods fail and I get mangled adhesive or no adhesive and a loose back cover. NOTE: Once that adhesive is down, there is still a protective cover on the top of the adhesive. Squeeze the back on and it won't stay. But use the tweezers to carefully pull off the protective cover - a long strip of plastic spaghetti - and now when you squeeze the back on, it sticks perfectly.So how is the battery itself? Couldn't tell you yet. It came at 66% charge state. If it doesn't perform well, I'll update this review. Otherwise, assume the best.Functionality:Installation was easy, though I watched several videos rather than relying on the instruction sheet - which COULD have been more useful if they'd added two suggestions.ONE: Sure, a heat gun can get the phone hot, but there are warnings you can damage everything.

Spent all the time to take phone apart and replace battery and it won't hold a charge at all. At first I thought the phone was in a boot loop, but the phone won't charge. As soon as I remove the charger the phone dies. Also instructions are pretty clear on how to get the phone apart and get battery out, but that is where they leave you stranded.....NO instructions on how to apply the screen adhesive (which fit poorly) and adhesive for the battery which I assume were the white strips? Ended up on YouTube...but at the end of the day I have a brick

Cheap battery

My battery went bad it started bulging and seperated my screen from the phone. Decided to use a YouTube video and replace it myself if I could. Everything needed was I the package and I was able to do it with no issues. The battery has been working flawlessly for months now.

TL;DR: Do not buy this kit. I was happy to find all the tools needed for the job and excellent printed instructions (but I still recommend watching a YouTube video ahead of time). However my happiness was short-lived: After getting through the hard part -- separating the case halves without damage -- I was dismayed to find the included T3 driver not up to the task. The tool is not properly hardened and tempered and the spines immediately broke on the very first screw. I had to file the tool down to get back to good splines and then temper the tool myself with a torch -- with my phone already in two pieces there was no way to stop the project to wait for a better tool. With care I was able to remove all ten screws, but I did have to file and temper the tool one more time. For fear of breaking it again I was unable to properly torque the screws on re-assembly. Then I found the pre-installed adhesive was in the wrong place. In order for the battery to fit and for the adhesive not to damage other parts if it needs to be removed again, I had to peel it off the battery and discard it before installation and use my own adhesive tape. All told these problems added nearly two hours to the project. It remains to be seen how well the battery performs now that it is installed.

Pros:The battery fits perfectly Pixel 6. It seems to hold charge well. The kit came with new phone seal, which I endup not using see cons. The original battery bulged after 3 years of use. I hope this one last a year or two until I upgrade to the next phone.Cons:The battery does not have plastic battery removal tape like the original battery, which probably a minor thing. The major thing is that battery does not have any adhesive pre-installed. I endup using electronic glue, which I'll probably replace with electronic double sided tape once it arrives. Then I'll try to use phone seal that it came with.
