Introduction

Replacing the battery of a Dell XPS 15 9510 laptop is a straightforward task requiring only a few tools. The new battery constitutes nearly all of the cost of this repair, so if you are planning to order a replacement battery for this or any other laptop, it may be wise to remove the back panel of the laptop to ensure that the one you are ordering matches the existing one.

If the battery you are replacing is swollen, be sure to take appropriate precautions.

    • Make sure the laptop is powered off and unplug all cables before beginning any repair.

    • Remove eight 3 mm screws from the underside of the case using a T5 Torx screwdriver.

    • The metal case of the XPS 15 9510 is extremely sharp, so be careful not to run your fingers along the edge when disassembling the laptop.

    • Wedge the case apart with a nylon spudger.

    • If the plastic one isn't possible to insert, use the metal spudger to carefully create a small gap first.

    • Slide spudger along each side of the laptop

    • The metal case of the XPS 15 9510 is extremely sharp, so be careful not to run your fingers along the edge when disassembling the laptop.

    • Lift the back panel of the laptop off and set it aside.

    Please do not miss this warning of it being sharp...
    After opening a few laptops for my office, I have generally been fine. But after opening my own XPS... I had sliced my finger badly.
