Introduzione

This guide shows how to remove and replace the battery for the Dell XPS 13 9300 laptop.

For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your device. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

    • Lift the lower case from the chassis and remove it.

    • During reassembly, this is a good point to power on your laptop and test all functions before sealing it up. Be sure to power your laptop back down before you continue working.

ok - completed.

The only unexpected thing was upon restart. It did not boot up normally. Instead it gave a bios type warning message:

- Time of day not set - please run SETUP program

- Invalid configuration information - Please run SETUP program

So - I ran bios setup and managed to get to the place to change the time, applied the change, then it booted normally (typing from there now).

Not at all difficult, finishing in perhaps 15 minutes including the bios deal...

Same thing happened to me and fortunately Dell makes it really easy to get to the clock. Didn't have any issues.

Matt Anthony -

Thanks for bringing this up! I'll add a note in the conclusion for this.

After replacing the battery, my XPS 9300 Ubuntu cannot find either HD or SSD. If you experience the same issue, it is because the default BIOS setting for RAID may be wrong. After losing power, it goes back to a wrong setting. So make sure you choose the right RAID setting after battery change.

Great guide, nice and easy, and indeed, 15–30 minutes.

A suggestion on opening with picks: the corner is not always the best place to start; it could be easier to insert a pick first somewhere else on the edge, just not in the hinge area.

Another thing is to be careful around the front LED indicator; it's easy to slip a pick under it, and that is not helpful for opening the laptop case. Just don't do that.

And for screws, they are finger tight, very easy to strip if you're holding the screwdriver stronger, then with just a two-finger pinch. It's a good idea to use some blue loctite instead of trying to torque it all the way (the manufacturer uses loctite too, at least for the battery screws).
