Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold recently became the subject of an interesting DIY experiment by tech YouTuber Scotty Allen from the Strange Parts channel. In his project, he tried to increase the phone’s battery capacity by replacing the original batteries with three larger silicon-carbon batteries.
The Galaxy Z TriFold normally comes with a 5,600mAh battery. This battery is already quite big because the phone has a large foldable screen and a cover display that needs a lot of power. For most people, the original battery is enough for everyday use. However, Allen wanted to see if the phone could hold a much larger battery.
To begin the experiment, he carefully opened the phone and removed its original batteries. He also removed the battery management system that controls how the battery works.
Following that, he installed three silicon-carbon batteries inside the device. Because these batteries were larger than the original ones, he had to design custom plates to make them fit properly.

After many attempts and a few damaged phones, he finally managed to create a working version of the device. The modified phone had a total battery capacity of 9,600mAh. This is about 4,000mAh more than the original battery and almost equal to the battery size of another phone like the Samsung Galaxy S24.
The new type of battery technology, silicon-carbon batteries, uses silicon in the battery material, allowing them to store more energy than traditional batteries. This means smartphones could have bigger batteries without becoming much thicker.
However, these batteries also have some downsides. They can expand more during use and may not last as long as regular batteries.
The hardest part of the project was not installing the batteries. The biggest problem was putting the foldable screen back together. In the final device, a white line appeared across the screen, showing that the display was slightly damaged.
Even though the project was not perfect, it shows how future battery technology could improve smartphone battery life.
