Introduction
Use this guide to replace a worn-out or dead battery in your Xiaomi Redmi Note 7.
It is possible to remove the battery without removing the loudspeaker and the main flex cable first. However for easier handling during the battery removal we highly recommend to remove both.

If your battery is swollen, [[What to do with a swollen battery|take appropriate precautions|new_window=true]]. For your safety, '''***discharge your 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.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.
Conclusion
If possible, turn on your device and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing.

'''***To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.'''*** Apply new adhesive where necessary after cleaning the relevant areas with isopropyl alcohol (>90%).
