Google Pixel 6 Battery Replacement

My battery had also become swollen and the top right of the screen was lifting. Used the iFixit battery replacement kit and the anti-clamp device opener. For the battery removal, I used the isopropyl alcohol, but I also used the included suction cup as a stand and had the heated iOpener on the back of the phone. I think this helped loosen the battery as well.

This guide and tools made this job really easy and not frustrating at all. Screen was undamaged and worked perfectly after the battery was replaced (I did check it before it was all screwed down/resealed).

Thanks for the great guide and kit!

As many others my battery had started to push up on my screen and swell. I've always been a fan of iFixit, but never been able to afford any of their products, however, the Pixel 6 battery replacement kit is worth the purchase, it came with all the parts and tools needed to replace the battery, I didn't need to use the iOpener as the screen was already apart and IPA helped to remove the battery, I purchased the graphite tape separately as it didnt look like it came with it, but it did, I also didn't need to use the battery spacer, as the battery came with them applied, but I dint know how to use them. great tutorial and easy to follow,

I purchased the Google Pixel 6 Battery - Genuine + Fix Kit and completed the repair following this guide. The guide was clear, and well written with great pictures. It took a bit longer than expected, only because it took a while to clean off the adhesive that secures the screen down. The entire repair took me 2 hours, and this was the first phone repair I have completed. The adhesive for the screen was also a little tricky to reapply. I messed up the placement on my first attempt, and some of the adhesive at the top got stuck and curled up on itself. I pushed the adhesive that was stuck back into place with the spudger, and it seems to have worked well. I completed the last few steps of the repair hastily, and forgot to replace the display cable bracket. The phone functions as intended, and if the screen disconnects, I feel confident in my ability to open the phone up again, secure the cable, and replace the bracket if necessary. Thank you for this guide, and for access to the necessary parts.

Great guide, very thorough. No steps were missed during the disassembly. A few recommendations:

1. While you're working on removing adhesive from the phone body, heat up the iOpener and use it to help soften the adhesive on the back of the screen.

2. Use the spudger without any isopropyl or other remover to scrape as much of the adhesive off. It clings to itself and makes little balls. It makes things much cleaner when you do come back through with chemicals

3. Don't apply isopropyl to the center of the battery when removing. I put too much and it seeped down around the inductive charger. The phone battery is adhered at the upper and lower corners to flat plastic and inbetween these two plastics is where the inductive coil sits.

4. When applying the new screen adhesive, once you've placed it on the case, make sure you secure it well. My adhesive pulled off when I removed the blue protective film and I almost had a similar problem to James Miele.

My battery became swollen so I bought the complete repair kit (parts + tools). It was my first time doing this type of fixing.

The tutorial is very clear with good pictures and easy to follow. It would be great if the tutorial also contains instructions to reassemble the device. The tutorial also doesn't mention all parts included on the kit, but, don't worry, you have all necessary stickers for reassembly.

I didn't use isopropyl alcohol, the iOpener and the plastic card are enough to remove the battery. And to glue the battery in its place, the battery comes with stickers already attached on it, so it's easier than the tutorial said.

In fact, the most complicated part is the removal of the old glue. I just scratched it with a repair tool but it's painful and not efficient. If someone has a good trick for that, it could be great.

Musste dringend mein Akku austauschen, weil er sich schon aufgebläht hatte und mein Display anhob. Nur wollte ich nicht zum Techniker gehen und es für +100 Euro reparieren lassen, sondern dachte mir, dass man es selbst auch günstiger schaffen kann. Daraufhin habe ich dieses Tutorial entdeckt und war ebenfalls erfreut, dass man die benötigten Utensilien direkt bestellen konnte. Gesagt, Getan. Habe fürs aus- und einbauen ca. ne Stunde gebraucht. Alles Top und war überglücklich, dass ich keinen schwerwiegenden Fehler gemacht habe! Konnte ebenfalls vieles technische Wissen mitnehmen und würde jederzeit nochmal von dieser Seite gebrauch machen, wenn etwas nicht stimmt:)

Would have been nice to show us sticker and screen seal replacement/removal - I mean if your gonna put them in the kit why not add a few more tips...

The battery on my Pixel 6 had swollen and was pushing out the screen. I wanted to order just the part but did not see anything saying it included the glue, I ordered the kit since the price difference was the cost of the custom glue kit. I now have 4 iFixit repair tool sets and 2 iOpeners from previous purchases. I did need to use the iOpener to get the glue from the side that had not popped up to release the screen. The hardest part is getting glue to release the battery, even with alcohol. I wish there was another way to pop off the battery without so much worry of not bending it, The next thing that took the longest was cleaning the glue residue around the screen and the case. I found that going slowly around the case with the pointy bit of the spudger worked best, and the board bit of the spudger along the edge of the screen. I usually give myself 2x as long as recommended the complete repair and this time I went over that, but I'm very happy with the result.

It's not hard to figure out where the stickers go, but you are right the instructions seem incomplete.

Nothing I found showed the best way to line up the graphite stickers and at the time the time investment was considerable. If you want a quick solution a local repair location might be best.

Those who say the guide stopped short lol, its easy just work backwards insert the new battery by peeling the stickers off the new battery, I found plugging in the battery first then sticking it down allowed me to get the perfect fit and then just follow the guide in reverse by installing the mainboard cover screwing it back down then install the screen (at this point I would recommend you power on the phone to make sure everything works and power it back down once you confirm this) then reinstall the screen protector bracket. If you have one apply your replacement double sided tape that goes around the edge of the phone and allows your phone to screen to stick back in place if not you can buy screen glue and use that instead (this is what I used) stick the screen back down and you are done (if you used glue allow 8-24 hours for it to fully dry depending on product used). Easy no brain required reassembly.
