"Why can't I replace the smartphone battery?" Reasons for that reason and the essence of the problem (page 1/4)

 Most of the current smartphones have a built -in battery and cannot be replaced.The other day, an article that said, "It's a problem not to be able to exchange" was buzzing on SNS.The tone of the manufacturer is that it cannot be exchanged to buy a smartphone.

 Hmm.

 From the standpoint of keeping up with mobile phones and smartphones and knowing about manufacturing, I think it's too aggressive.

 There is a reason why the battery replacement is gone.On the other hand, there is no problem in replacing the product and battery.

 I would like to summarize what they are.

「なぜスマホのバッテリーは交換できないの?」 その理由と問題の本質を考える(1/4 ページ)

The evolution of battery technology has created a "built -in type"

 A long time ago, many of the digital devices were able to "battery replacement" while adopting rechargeable batteries.More than 10 years have passed since the smartphone to PC has changed to a form that can not be replaced.

 Why couldn't I change it?There are multiple reasons there.

 The biggest thing is that the shape of the battery has changed.

 What is used in the current digital devices is a technology called "lithium polymer".The basic principle is the same as the "lithium -ion rechargeable battery", which was put into practical use in the 1990s, but the difference is that the polymer is used for electrolytes.The so -called lithium -ion rechargeable battery is a liquid, and a lithium polymer is a quasi -individual.

 The important thing about this topic is that the battery package has turned into a "resin film" like a retort food.In short, it's no longer the form of a "battery" we envision.

 This greatly changed the characteristics of the battery.

 The biggest thing is that it has become possible to "increase the capacity to the last minute according to the internal design of the device".In the current digital device, although there are some standard products, most devices use battery packs that match the internal design and size.

 The following photo is a quote from the iPhone 12 battery replacement method introduced by IFixit, which is known for the immediate decomposition articles of Apple products, etc., but the battery occupies most of the body size, and the space around it.You can see that there is almost no.

 As a result, the current equipment has achieved performance improvement, maintaining operating time, and "smaller and thinning".It is convenient to seal the inside of the main unit and realize waterproof and dustproof.
