Internal battery swelling

[xitix]

This will be a long post. I am publishing like a how-to, as everyone having a D6000 will attend sooner or latter to this issues....

I love this phone! It have a masculine style & view, it's a really good hardware piece + it's remind me the beloved HD2 (the most hacked phone in the world). Very sad that Innos not released the kernel source for D6000.
At least I am happy with Eu-6.0.1 update.

I have experiencing first random reboots before the end of first year (suppose phone was under warranty but Innos-cn never replay = they behave like dead).
Latter on, phone start reboot & loop more and more often (the infinite reboots symptom).
I have suspected the internal battery from the first time, but after contacted Innos-eu support, I find is quite difficult to get a new spare because LI-po batteries cannot be regularly send via air due to new European legislation.


When infinite reboots become annoying, I decided it's time to enter the next level, and replace the inner battery no matter what.
Did not byte on [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register], because the total cost ($39 battery + shipment = US $118.89) it's really too expensive. This guys are charlatans and take advantage on the people having no choice with the Innos-cn lack of support.

Instead sending the phone to Innos-eu service in Russia, I did like this:

1. Found a good battery supplier (not Innos or BAK dealer): [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]

2. Because did not known exactly the Innos D6k dimensions, have to buy a 306070 1800mAh 3.7v Rechargeable Lithium Batteries SD306070 with $ 9.96/pcs (first battery was confiscated on NL custom, but seller was so kind to send another one on his expenses & different parcel declaration; the second attempt finally arrived @ destination)


3. Open the back cover , take out the outer battery and start unscrew the frame screws.


4. Carefully take out the frame , unstick the plastic label that cover the inner battery


5. Carefully take out the plastic label; do not damage the battery envelope or the battery connector.


6. Disconnect the inner battery


7. Take out the battery; it is fixed with double sided scotch on bottom.


8. Disconnect the regulator from battery. Pay attention to not damage the connection, while electronic board seems very thin. It is covered with kaptan tape plus regular cream mask band.


9. Check the regulator + - connection on battery


10. Disconnect the regulator (cut the blade on each side)


11. Do the same operation on new battery (except the cut - that you can use soldering method to dismantle the electronic regulator)


12. Write on new battery the + - with a marker and measure the battery and distance between blades. you need this because have to adapt the position of regulator to connect with new battery and still fit on the phone !


13. W A R N I N G ! Protect with kaptan tape the electronic of the board because existing the risk to touch with new battery blades the other parts of the circuit. Please pay attention: do not touch anything else on regulator, except the + - connection. it may damage the regulator, or you can burn everything on fire if do a short-circuit !


14. Solder the connection + - on regulator using silicon varnish wire protection extends to new battery blades; then, cover the regulator with Kaptan tape and place the new battery back on the phone.


15. Test if the phone re-start by pushing on/off button
If you do it carefully, it will start again showing the energy level inside new battery !


16. Place back the frame and frame , stick the plastic label. Now, you can charge the battery, again and phone will not random reboot, nore enter into infinite loop. At least, until next inner battery replacement ;-)

Now I can enjoy using my D6000 nice phone.
The only thing that's missing is the kernel source, to cook some other builds.

Shame on Innos-cn!
Thank you Innos-eu!

Very nice description. I did receive my phone back last week from gearbest, after they repaired the battery and maybe touchscreen under guarantee. I did not suffer from the reboots, but my touchscreen didn't register my finger, and sometimes registered random input....

Happy after updating to android 6.0.1, but now I have the dead android symbol if I try to boot to the recovery menu :-(

@Xitix: is there no problem replacing a 3.85V with a 3.70V battery?

Hi, is not any problem so far, I am enjoying the phone like having a new one.
I already forgot how frustrated was few months ago.

There is one more thing, not especially related to battery: I have changed also the cable and bought a new one* for mijue, as the orange D6000 is not existing on european market and the original type C got some issues with USB data transfer from second month of usage. I suspect the original internal battery from D6000 has gone so fast because I overcharged the phone inside the car, while driving (using phone as GPS/navigation).

*BTW, I have also tested the USB extension from microUSB to Type C, it works too.
