This guide shows how to remove and replace a worn battery for the HP Spectre x360 15t-ap000 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.

    • Use an opening tool or your fingers to pry up the back cover from the laptop.

    • Plastic clips hold the back cover lightly in place, so you may encounter some resistance.

    • If it feels like there is strong resistance, you may have a model that includes screws under the corner feet. Carefully pry the feet up to make sure they don't have screws.

I have the same model, but there are screws under the two rear rubber feet. I damaged one of the feet during removal ):

Miguel Medina - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

I'm sorry to hear that! I double-checked my laptop, and it doesn't have the two feet. Perhaps there was a hardware update. I'll add a note in the guides.

Arthur Shi -

So the battery shown/listed in the store is a PK03XL but the images (and my laptop) clearly have the PG03XL model which has higher amp hours. Also, the PK0 does not fit.

Karim T - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

Hi Karim,

That's correct! The PK03XL battery that's sold in the iFixit store is for the 13" HP Spectre. This guide is written for the 15" HP Spectre.
