Introduction
Follow this guide to replace the Moto G4 plus’s rechargeable battery. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
Before you begin, download the Rescue and Smart Assistant app to backup your device and diagnose whether your problem is software or hardware related.
For your safety, discharge your existing battery below 25% before disassembling your phone. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair.

in step 9, when i took the connector away the hole plug came out :( need micro soldering to paste the conector to the board
I’m really sorry to hear that! I’ll add some extra warning on that step.
One of the last screws stripped and I wasn't applying a lot of force. Being a jeweler, I tried every trick I knew of but that sucker would not budge. Since it was a corner screw, I rotated the entire cover (while pulling up on it to miss the components directly beneath) to expose all of the battery area. Hope I explained that part well enough. The battery was also tough to remove. I think they used way too much glue the first time around. Anyway, I was thrilled it powered right up with the new battery and I saved over $50 bucks doing it myself (and with the help of ifixit.com). Thanks!
Thank you for the guide! My wife and I did it together and the steps were very clear.
