Introduction
Use this guide to replace the battery in your Lenovo IdeaPad 3-15IML05. If your battery life has diminished and it won't hold a charge for very long, you may need to replace the battery.
Overheating, overcharging, and impact (such as dropping the computer) can damage the battery. If your computer suffers from overheating you may want to check out the Lenovo IdeaPad 3-15IML05 Fan Replacement guide as well.
Overcharging can be prevented by unplugging your computer when it's hit 90% so it won't hit 100% and keep trying to charge. This can be done in the battery settings to set the charge limit to whatever you'd like.
Before you begin this repair, make sure to power off your device and unplug it from the charging adapter.
If you encounter a swollen or puffy battery, refer to this What to Do With a Swollen Battery guide for important safety information.
