Featured Student Guide
This guide has been the hard work of our awesome students and is found to be exceptionally cool by the iFixit staff.
Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓Use this guide for assistance in replacing the battery in your Dell Inspiron 15 5584.
The battery acts as the power supply for all components of the laptop. Without a battery, the laptop will not function. An old or damaged battery may not hold as much charge as it previously had, and can also possibly not provide enough charge to other components of the device.
Before tampering with your device, make sure to drain the battery and turn off your laptop. Working with live electricity is a fire hazard and can cause injury/damage to electrical components. Furthermore, ensure the laptop is not plugged into any external power sources prior to starting this removal.

I used this guide for a Dell Inspiron 5579 and it was close enough. The 5579 is larger. There were 10 screws instead of 9, and the back corner screws were removable. For the battery there were only the 2 left screws to remove as the 2 right battery mounts were also case-mounting screws. Was easy peazy. Now just need to charge it! Thanks!
Thanks for this guide! I discovered right away that I bought the battery for the 5548 accidentally and had to ship it back. I got the battery for the 5584, and by following this guide, I got it up and running within minutes.
One concern: the new battery has a closer port for the motherboard connector tab, which means the cable for that tab has to bend a bit. Hopefully I haven't introduced a problem with heat or anything.
