Introducing iFixit’s Multitasking VoltClip

The VoltClip is a tiny dongle that uses USB power to tap the iPhone 16’s battery glue, debonding the adhesive and letting you lift the battery cleanly out of the phone. But its utility doesn’t stop…

Unplug the alligator clips and what you have is a short cable that takes a USB PD input and outputs 12 Volts through a standard 2.1mm center-positive barrel connector. The Yale Nest Lock can be temporarily powered by pressing a 9V battery to its underside, but if you have a VoltClip handy, and the correct supply to make it output 9V, then you can use that instead. All-in-all, the VoltClip is the perfect thing to keep in either your fixing kit, or your charging bag, along with your cables, USB-C power adapters, and battery pack.
