The Nintendo Switch battery is glued in place. For best results, we recommend applying some high-concentration (90% or greater) isopropyl alcohol or our Adhesive Remover as shown in this step before attempting to remove the battery.

Apply a small amount of adhesive remover or isopropyl alcohol (approximately 1 ml) evenly along one edge of the battery cell.

Tilt the switch so the liquid solvent spreads underneath the battery.

Wait 2-3 minutes for the solvent to break down the adhesive underneath the battery before you proceed to the next step.
