|
Introduction |
| Use this guide to replace a worn-out or dead battery in your Apple Watch Series 7. | | | This guide shows the procedure on the cellular/LTE version of the watch, but the GPS-only version is similar. | | | ***Note: The battery replacement procedure for the 40 mm Series 7 Apple Watch differs slightly from the 44 mm version.*** This guide shows how to replace the battery for both sizes. | | | Before you begin, make sure you have the appropriate replacement battery for your watch. | | | 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. | | | 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 Apple Watch Series 6, follow these instructions in reverse order. Apply a little bit of high isopropyl alcohol (>90%) to a Q-tip or use a cleaning pad to gently remove the leftover adhesive on the edges of the watch case and the screen before installing new adhesive. | | | For optimal performance, [[Battery Calibration|calibrate your newly installed battery|new_window=true]] after completing this guide. | | | Take your e-waste to an [[E-Waste|R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler|new_window=true]]. | | | Repair didn’t go as planned?
