| Apple Watch Series 5 Battery Replacement |
|
|
Introduction |
| Use this guide to replace a worn-out or dead battery in your Apple Watch Series 5. | | | This guide shows the procedure on the standard, GPS-only version of the watch, but the cellular/LTE version is similar. | | | If your battery is swollen, [[What to do with a swollen battery|take appropriate precautions|new_window=true]]. For your safety, '''discharge your battery below 25%''' before disassembling your watch. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. | | | During the display opening procedure of the Apple Watch it is likely to damage the force touch gasket. If you separate the gasket layers or cut the cable, you'll also need to replace the Force Touch gasket itself. | | | You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device. |

Conclusion |
| If possible, turn on your device and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing. | | | [guide|113604|Secure the new battery with pre-cut adhesive|new_window=true] or double-sided adhesive tape. In order to position it correctly, apply the new adhesive into the device at the places where the old adhesive was located, not directly onto the battery. Press the new battery firmly into place. | | | To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. Apply new adhesive where necessary after cleaning the relevant areas with isopropyl alcohol (>90%). | | | For optimal performance, '''[[Battery Calibration|calibrate your newly installed battery|new_window=true]]''': Charge it to 100% and keep charging it for at least 2 more hours. Then use your device until it shuts off due to low battery. Finally, charge it uninterrupted to 100%. | | | Take your e-waste to an [[E-Waste|R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler|new_window=true]]. | | | Repair didn’t go as planned?
