Excellent replacement for the worn out OEM battery, but not Easy to install
I have done a few of these battery replacements over the years. They are never fun. Getting the screen off, and the battery out is risky. Very easy to break your display, or accidently cut a ribbon cable. Be very careful when trying to cut through the adhesive. The kit does provide everything you need, minus a heat gun, or hair dryer. All the tools included were good quality. Highly recommend you use the ifixit guide online when doing this. If you have no experience making repairs on small electronics like this, I highly recommend to go slowly, or have someone who has help you.That said. I successfully removed my old battery and installed the new one. Before I would wake up in the morning, grab my phone to go through some emails. And in that 5 minutes, my battery would drop from 100% to 90%. By noon I was at 50% or less. After installing the new battery. I woke up, the battery was at 100%. I checked some emails, Went to the gym listened to music over bluetooth for 45 minutes, did about 45 minutes of surfing the web, and here I am 5.5 hours later my battery is at 95%. Of course only time will tell how long it lasts, but so far so good. I don't even think my OEM battery performed like that when the phone was new.

It's a good kit if you know what you are doing.
I bought the kit for Pixel 5 and successfully replaced the battery. Most steps are easy to follow except how to apply the adhesive to reinstall the display, which is entirely missing! The black adhesive is sandwiched between white paper and blue plastic film, which is ALMOST the size of the phone. This means you only use the FRINGE of it and discard the rest. I said ALMOST because if you place it in the middle of your phone, it will NOT reach either edge of your device! So I ended up cutting it, lengthwise, into 2 halves so that the right & left halves can cover the right & left edges of the phone respectively! I wish the instruction were better. It took me a while to figure out the adhesive was hidden between 2 sheets of materials and then much longer how to apply it. Other than the bad instruction, the kit comes with everything you need for the job. Since I only installed it yesterday, I can't vouch for the longevity of the battery. So far I'm happy. My Pixel 5 is only 2 years old. To have a bulging battery, I'm very disappointed in Google. This is why I didn't buy an OEM Google battery, which cost 2x more. Now, I have the old battery in my hand, I see it is made by the same company, Sunwoda, assuming the replacement is not lying! If this replacement can last 2 years, it's a good investment. The phone would be 4 years old by then, and time for a new one. Through this exercise, I also realize Google lies about Pixel 5's capacity. The OEM battery reads, "Typical Capacity: 4080mAh/ 15.78Wh" and "Rated Capacity: 4000mAh/ 15.48Wh". So when Google advertises the former, it is expecting this battery to operate OUTSIDE of the TESTED parameters! No wonder it bulged after only 2 years!

Tools are great, battery is garbage
Trash. The battery lasted one week then completely died unable to turn on even while plugged in. Dont buy. The kit was great (tools) outside of the fact the battery was total garbage.

The kit I would get.
This is probably the most complete Pixel 6a battery replacement kit I could find with a quick search through amazon.Pros:-Everything in the picture is provided and is almost everything you need. I replaced my battery using only this kit, a youtube video, and 1 other item, thermal paste.-This kit includes the correct screw driver (T3), I saw other similar kits with complaints that the correct screw driver was not included.-This kit also include an LCD screen adhesive if you choose to use it, I did not use it, but other kits I saw did not seem to provide any type or screen adhesive option for when you reassemble the phone.Light Cons:-The instructions provided notes that you will need thermal paste when reassembling your phone. It wasn't obvious that I would need this or I would have purchased these items together. I ended up running to a local store and picking up Corsair TM30 for about $8, I think any thermal paste should do, you can find it in the computer section. (As A side note, I don't believe the other kits I saw mentioned the thermal paste either, so I can't ding them too much for it, at least they mentioned it in the instructions).-The instructions do not cover the steps to reassemble the phone; however I would highly recommend finding a pixel 6a battery replacement video or two on youtube and watching them prior to starting the process. The video in conjunction with the paper instruction will be far more helpful.Items of note/tips:-The screws are tiny and some are shorter than others; have a system of laying out the screws in the order you took them out so your can reapply them in the same order. I used the groove of the box this kit came in.- There might be a clear plastic strip around the battery that you can use to "saw" back and forth to loosen the adhesive. I would recommend this instead of trying to heat up the battery as some videos' suggest.-The kit did not provide adhesive for the new battery, some say you should not reuse the adhesive that is left behind, but that's what I did and I think it will be fine.-Don't forget to apply a small amount of thermal paste. The video I watched didn't mention it. The paper instructions show you where.-The kit provided a screen shaped sort of sticky tape adhesive for the screen when reassembling. Since the instructions did not cover how to use it, I didn't use it. I found that the residual glue was enough to hold it together. I don't think my screen will fall off because I keep it in an Otterbox case. Just remember it will no longer be water proof, it's unlikely it will be water proof no mater what you do. As a note, some state you should not reuse the residual glue. If you like, you can purchase B7000 glue, or doubleside tape for LCD screens and use that after cleaning off the old glue, I would just warn that cleaning of the old glue seems dangerous as the plastic lip of the screen is thin and the screen can be easily damaged when trying to clean off the old glue. I just didn't risk it. Replacement screens are about $150 to $200 dollars and replacement phones are even more.All in all, the kit worked well and was all I needed, save the thermal paste I purchased separately. I tested it and my phone does turn on, however as the charge on the new battery is low I am charging my phone now. I will post an update if I have any problems.***Disclaimer: This is not advise, just some tips I found while researching how to do this. I'm not responsible for any damage you cause to your phone. I did this because my phone was basically useless as my phone suddenly no longer held a charge and had to be connected to a charger at all times to work. Not ideal for a "mobile" phone. The battery was swollen when I dissembled it. Point is, I didn't mind if I ruined it, because it was either try this or buy a new one. The process is do-able but it is difficult. I also miss the days when you could just pull of the back cover and replace the dang battery.

Nice kit!
The old battery in my P3 swelled up, so I bought a new phone, but figured it was worth $20 to try to fix the old phone too, so I bought this kit, near the low end of the price spectrum for such things.And, it's a nice, complete kit. The included tools are nicer than I would have expected (I didn't used them all, because the old swelled battery had opened the case for me!) There are no instructions, but I used the online ifixit guide, and things went pretty smoothly. The phone is working, charged properly, and seems to be lasting about the same time as the original battery. (The other measure of replacement batteries - how long it continues to work well - happens on too long a timescale for a review. But: so far, so good. I'm quite pleased!
