The battery is an essential component of the laptop and keeps the device running. Oftentimes, the battery will start wearing out after consistent use, and after a few years the battery may not hold a charge. If your device isn’t properly charging or if your device is running out of charge quickly, the battery may need to be replaced.

Before replacing the battery, ensure your power adaptor is not the issue. To check if your adaptor is the problem, borrow and test a different adaptor. If the laptop charges during the test, you need to replace your power adaptor. If you have determined that your battery is faulty, follow this guide to replace it. Removing the battery is also necessary before removing the touch ID.
