Apple Watch won’t accept replacement batteries
Greetings,
I have an Apple Watch 7000 series with a swollen battery that I’m trying to replace, but it doesn’t seem to accept any of the replacement batteries that I’ve tried.
I’ve tried about four batteries purchased from both InjuredGadgets and MobileSentrix, but when I install them, the watch enters a loop where it shows the Apple logo, fades to red, and repeats. The kicker is that if I put the original swollen battery back in, it boots up as normal.
I have no idea why this is, but then again I’m no expert, so I would appreciate any insight. Thanks.
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

Technically there is no Apple Watch 7000 series. What you are reading the the Aluminum grade number 7000
Reference: Apple Watch 7000 Series
Can you identify which watch you have. IF you can run it off of the original battery. on the watch go into Settings > General > About - locate the Model heading and then tell us what it is.

I just checked and it’s an A1553, which I believe would make it the first generation or “series 0” in common internet parlance

Personally I have had no issues replacing the battery on an iWatch of this model. So it definitely can be done. I know that isn't super helpful but I suppose it narrows out the possibility that Apple would have some sort of serial signature recognition with the battery to ensure only OEM batteries are used or something?
