Modify Android Phones to Run without Battery Ended
About the job
I have a small stockpile of Android handsets that I want running 24/7 for continuous surveillance tasks, but with the batteries completely removed. Your job is to convert each phone so it powers up cleanly and stays stable on straight-through USB power.
Here is what I need from you:
Hardware re-work that tricks the phone into thinking a healthy battery is present, while safely bypassing or removing the original cell.
A clean USB-based power circuit that boots reliably, survives sudden power loss, and shows no battery-related warnings.
Proof of stability: at least 48 hours of uninterrupted uptime with screen, Wi-Fi, and camera streaming active.
I’m currently paying about $1 k per successfully delivered unit, and we can talk discounted rates if you can handle a larger batch. If you’ve already done similar battery-free mods, please let me know which phone models you’ve worked on and any test footage or logs you can share.
I’ll ship a couple of devices to start, you return them fully modded and documented, and we scale up from there. Let’s get these phones running around the clock on nothing but USB power or ac power.
