Steps: 5 Steps
In this guide, we’ll walk you through replacing the battery in your Acer Aspire 5 A515-46-R3UB. This model comes equipped with a 48Wh 3-cell Li-ion battery, giving you up to 10 hours of battery life. But like all good things, after countless charge cycles, the battery will start to lose its punch. Eventually, you might find that your battery won’t hold a charge at all—that’s when it’s time for a replacement. Before jumping into the repair, make sure the issue is really with the battery. If your laptop is overheating, constantly dying, or struggling to keep a charge, your battery might just be the culprit.

Oh, and don’t forget—before you dive into the repair, power off your laptop and unplug it from the charger!
Step 1
– Grab a JIS #1 screwdriver and carefully remove the eleven 6.7 mm screws securing the bottom cover. If you need help, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 2
– Let’s get started! Use an opening tool and some handy picks to carefully pry the bottom cover away from the laptop.
– Work your way around the edges, releasing any clips you find, before you can remove the bottom case.
– Now it’s time to take off the bottom case – you’re making great progress!
Step 3
– Peel off the two strips of tape from the battery and the battery connector. Keep them safe for later, you’ll need them when it’s time to put everything back together.
– Hold on to those strips of tape – they’re coming back into play during reassembly.
Step 4
– Grab your plastic opening tool and gently nudge each side of the connector until it pops out of the socket. Easy does it—patience is key! If you need a hand, you can always schedule a repair.
Step 5
