Introduction

Before beginning this guide, if you notice that the bottom of the laptop is slightly expanded, your battery could possibly be swollen. This can cause personal injury or damage to items surrounding it as swollen batteries are known to explode. Do not attempt to remove a swollen battery by yourself. This article about swollen batteries will give you all the information and resources you need to handle a swollen battery situation: What to do with a swollen battery

Once you have confirmed that you do not have a swollen battery, shut down your laptop and drain any residual power and check to see if the power is drained completely by attempting to turn it on. The computer must not have any power to perform this guide as that can create complications for the computer. A laptop is a very delicate item and when working on it, you have to be as gentle as possible to not damage any wires and other items in the laptop.

After you completed those steps, begin following this guide. After you have successfully replaced your Chromebook battery, dispose of the battery as soon as possible. How to dispose laptop battery
