Introduction

The battery supplies power to the Chromebook and allows usage without a power cord. The Chromebook has the capability to work off of the battery life for a period of time. While typically a battery source can lose power at a fast rate, if you notice the battery life span to be quickly fading, it probably needs replacement.

Before using the guide, troubleshoot the charging capacity of the battery to determine if in fact the battery is defaulted.

A battery does have the capability of fire so take appropriate steps and precautions. Before starting the process of replacing the battery power down the Chromebook.

As a note, in step 3, be gentle when handling the ribbon connected to the motherboard.

Worked great. Was able to order a replacement battery for my daughter’s two year old Chromebook. $39.99 and relatively easy to swap out.
