My big pet peeve is non user replaceable batteries in devices (phones, laptops). It's very well known that Lithium batteries wear out over time. That means that devices with built-in, glued-in batteries are guaranteed to become useless once the battery begins to fail.
The battery in my Nexus 6P is about 18 months old and it currently only holds about 40% of it's original design capacity (known issue with the phone). Replacing the battery is a very delicate task due to the glue and placement of the battery and the need to replace the glass and LCD.
- sdabdoub 9y agoYou shouldn't need to replace the glass/LCD to replace the battery on the 6P. Once you get the back off (which is definitely not easy, the battery is exposed.
- ericabiz 9y agoIt’s not too difficult for an independent repair shop with the right tools. We charge $49 to replace a Nexus 6P battery and it takes about an hour. Call some local phone repair shops near you and get some quotes. If you happen to be in Austin or Houston, contact me :)
