The battery in the Motorola Moto G5s is sealed inside the phone housing. In the instance that you have to replace a faulty battery, there is a specific procedure that you have to follow.
Before you begin, download the Rescue and Smart Assistant app to backup your device and diagnose whether your problem is software or hardware related.

Bring the heat gun one to two inches from the edges of the display to melt the display adhesive.
-
Spend equal amounts of time applying heat around the entire edge of the phone.

Attach the suction cup to the display slightly to the left of center.

Exert a moderate force to pull on the suction cup. The display will come loose.
-
-
-
Insert the opening tool inside the loosened edge.
-
Gradually work the opening tool around the edge of the entire screen to cut through the adhesive.
Note that the adhesive is much wider at top and bottom than along the sides. Cut deeper there, except for the fingerprint sensor.
-
-
-
Press down on the fingerprint sensor with the display slightly raised to disconnect it from the display.

Remove the one 5mm Torx-5 screw located by the connector cables in the top right corner of the device.

-
-
Remove the nine black 5mm Torx-5 screws.
-
Remove the seven silver 5mm Torx-5 screws.
it took me an hour just to get the display open and I ended damaginging up the screen in the process so I do not recommend anyone doing it by themselves unless they are ok with wasting money on a new battery and the phone.

Remove the metal cover by prying underneath it with the opening tool.

Grab ahold of the fingerprint sensor and push it through the opening in the metal cover.

Use the opening tool to remove the two metal connectors located above the battery.

Apply a gentle upward pressure to loosen the metal plates.
These connectors are for the cameras. There’s no need to remove them if you are simply replacing the battery. Step 14 can be deleted.

Using the spudger, cut downwards along the black tape on left side of the battery.

Remove the battery with your hand.
It may be better to lift the battery by pulling up on the two back tape tabs at the left, rather than digging under it with the spudger to lift from the right. The top tab shows up well in the last photo.

Hello,
I would like to chance the battery.
But for me it isn’t not clear how to glue the screen back again. I can not find any sealing at the market
Thanks
The screen is not coming off. I have set the temperature at 125 Celsius on my smd rework station and have tried heating up to 3 minutes. I am focusing heat on the lower part. The Adhesive doesn't become loose even a bit. I do not want to increase temperature further or heat for a longer time period before asking experts. Does moto g5 sPlus use a stronger adhesive?
