This guide demonstrates how to use iFixit's VoltClip to loosen adhesives that use the "electrical debonding-on-demand" technology. iPhone 16 and 16 Plus batteries use this type of adhesive.

Electrical debonding-on-demand works by passing low electrical current through the adhesive. A 9–30 volt DC source is connected across the adhesive, and the resulting electrochemical reaction loosens the adhesive bond in minutes.

The VoltClip requires a USB-C Power Delivery (PD) power source. This can either be the FixHub Portable Power Station, a USB-C PD power brick, or some laptops/smartphones. Not all USB-C PD power sources support 12 V (the FixHub Portable Power Station does). If the source doesn't support 12 V, the VoltClip will operate at the next lowest voltage—usually 9 V. This voltage is still sufficient to debond the adhesive—it just takes longer.

    • Your adhesive should be fully loosened at this point. If your battery doesn't budge during the step, reconnect the VoltClip for an additional minute and try again.

    • Grip the silver tab and lift the battery out of the frame.

    • Alternatively, you can use a suction handle to pull the battery out. If the battery doesn't come out easily, don't force it—reconnect the VoltClip for one minute.
