So after 2 years, my current iPhone 5 Battery Life is
CycleCount: 622
DesignCapacity: 1430
FullChargeCapacity: 700

So I would like to replace the battery myself… Any recommendations for an excellent battery and kit to purchase online perhaps off Amazon? I do not want to buy a knock off or a low quality battery. Looking for a new good quality battery.
Any suggestions for actually replacing the battery? How to guide? etc?
Thanks!

How do you find your battery life numbers?
 
It is not hard at all to open up a 5 disconnect things and install a battery. I watched the ifixit youtube video and have fixed four of them.
 
What is the best way to maintain the health and longevity of my new battery?
What methods and strategies of charging? etc.
Thanks

Do you think it may be useful or doable to put in a new battery that has higher mAh and capacity?
I would love a new battery that can hold a charge for longer and better… I hate needing to recharge my iPhone constantly
 
Don't believe those EBay auctions that state they have higher capacity batteries.
