Use this guide to replace a worn out or dead battery in your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2.
For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your controller. This reduces the risk of fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

Absolutely great tutorial, thank you. Now... any idea where I can get a replacement battery pack for this? Mine is deformed and unusable.
Hi Kraeg Minett, thanks for your comment! Unfortunately, the battery is currently not available at the iFixit Store, but you might have some luck looking for a replacement battery by either using the model code for the Elite Wireless Controller (1797) or the battery itself (DYND01).
Hello.
Great tutorial
But - i cannot find replacement battery pack ( original one )
Please - can you help me with this issue ? Thank u
Stanislav Banas
I got one here - https://kasynparts.com/product/xbox-elit...
Had it shipped to the UK and it arrived today after two weeks. I haven't yet installed it as now waiting for a T6 driver to arrive but might be worth a try.
Update - The repair was a success, the battery from the above website is good and the controller is now working again :)
