Dell XPS 15 9570 Battery Replacement

Introduction

This guide will teach you how to replace the battery in your Dell XPS 15 9570.

This process will require a T5 Torx Screwdriver, an iFixit Opening Tool, Phillips #00 Screwdriver, and a replacement battery.

Batteries are what let your laptop hold power. A bad battery can lead to many problems. Here are some signs that your battery may need replacing:

  • The laptop will not stay on, or cannot run without being plugged-in. Constant shutting down is a major sign of battery issues.
  • The laptop will not charge properly.
  • If the battery appears to have become swollen or to have leaked, BE EXTRA CAREFUL.

If your battery is swollen check out this article below:

(It says iPhone, but the same process goes for any lithium-ion battery)

Before starting the repair, swollen battery or not, unplug the device and let the battery's charge reach 0%.

Remember that after you have successfully replaced the battery (which we are sure you will) please recycle it: How to Properly Recycle Your Old iPhone Battery

(Again it says iPhone, but the same process goes for any lithium-ion battery).
