They'll overnight a postage-paid box to you, and have it back to you in less than a week.
Done by professionals/specialists at Apple (not some kid in a mall kiosk).
Genuine Apple battery with a one-year warranty, and my experience - you will not be able to tell it was pried open, and will probably seal to original specs.
They'll also do a full diagnostic as part of the deal, and if they do damage it; they'll fix or replace it.

iPhone 7. Yeah, I use it for music storage and Apple Music player with bluetooth thru my home stereo system, in my car, or with a mobile bluetooth speaker. And - iheart radio; I can get radio stations throughout the US (but not WVLG - go figur).


Iphone 7 about 2 years ago was $60, postage both ways included w/tracking.

I second what everyone is telling you. 85% does not warrant a new battery.

Additionally ...

IF you opt to have the battery replaced (or any other part of your iPhone), do NOT use anything but Genuine Apple Parts. You'll regret it later. Been there, done that. (& your phone will know and keep reminding you.)
