Huawei Watch GT Battery Replacement

Introduction

Use this guide to replace a worn-out or dead battery in your Huawei Watch GT.

For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your Huawei Watch GT. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair.

Note: If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.
