Steps:

1. Insert the pointed end of a spudger underneath the white connector and pry upwards to disconnect the battery from the motherboard.

2. The Nintendo Switch battery is glued in place. For best results, we recommend applying some high-concentration (90% or greater) isopropyl alcohol or our Adhesive Remover as shown in this step before attempting to remove the battery.
3. Apply a small amount of adhesive remover or isopropyl alcohol (approximately 1 ml) evenly along one edge of the battery cell.
4. Tilt the switch so the liquid solvent spreads underneath the battery.
5. Wait 2-3 minutes for the solvent to break down the adhesive underneath the battery before you proceed to the next step.

6. Use a pry tool to lever the battery out.
7. Don't use excessive force. A damaged lithium-ion battery can leak toxic chemicals and/or catch fire. If the battery doesn't lever out fairly easily, apply a little more solvent and try again.

8. Remove the battery from the Switch console.
9. Don't re-use the battery once it's removed.
10. Use strips of double-sided adhesive tape to secure the new battery.
