Remplacement de la batterie du Google Pixel 4 XL

Worked great, was tough pulling up the battery but other than that went super smoothly. thanks!!

Really comprehensive, helpful and well-written guide. I prefer to learn to fix things on my own, so this was immensely helpful and just what I needed. Thank you so much!

the adhesive pull tabs? there was no way to get them out as the hardware prevents you from pulling at the right angle. i went with softening the glue with a couple drops of alcohol and prying the battery up enough to get a guitar pick in and cut the rest.

Just finished changing the battery to my Pixel 4XL. Battery was slightly bloated (about 1mm) but still running great, at 104% after one year and a half. However, it suddenly stopped charging wirelessly, even from the original Pixel charger.

The kit was great, everything happened according to the instructions. Carefully cleaning the old adhesive took most of the time. I used lint-free wipes and a small syringe filled with Isopropyl alcohol 99.9% to drop the liquid over the adhesive strips in small sections, with the phone positioned vertically, so the alcohol didn’t get inside. Same for the rear cover [Regular rubbing alcohol does not work at all for this purpose] The alcohol really helped removing the old stretch release strips really fast. The connector of the new battery was slightly out of alignment, so I had to plug it first, with the battery leaning at a small angle, then seat the battery on the glue strips. Thank you, that was fun! :)

Wow. I’ve fixed about 10 phones now and I’ve always had issues getting new adhesive tape delivered without being mangled into an unusable crumpled ball. They packaged it between two thin pieces of plastic and it arrived in perfect condition. They also don’t use plastic bubble wrap as their insulating material which is a refreshing change.

Thanks for the informative guide, competitive price and quality service!

Thank you so much, @carsten and the entire iFixit team! <3

I ordered a new battery kit from iFixIt for my Pixel 4 XL ([produit lié absent ou désactivé : IF356-158-1]) with the intent to use this guide.

From what I've seen elsewhere on the internet, I expected the battery to say either "Huizhou Desay Battery Co., Ltd" or "Sunwoda Electronic Co., Ltd". However, that portion of the label is blank -- there is no company name listed.

It also has 3700 mAh on the front label but the rear has a QR code and some text printed including "3740 mAh".

I'm concerned about the legitimacy of this battery.

Changed the battery to the second Pixel 4XL. Obviously, it went faster. Having some highly concentrated isopropyl alcohol (>99% by volume) makes your life a lot easier when clearing the gunk and dislodging the battery.

What I want to mention is: please DO NOT RUSH. Take your time, do it elegantly. For the first time changing a battery, 30 minutes estimated time is a little too optimistic. Scrapping off the old gunk from the phone and the back cover took more than I thought, but it’s a cheap price to pay for a job done well. It was fun!

IFixit rocks!

Thanks @carsten this repair guide mostly worked for me. My only issue is that my phone now doesn’t display the battery % and has a warning message “Problem reading your battery meter”. Does anyone have any ideas?

I was getting this warning from my Pixel 4XL “problem reading your battery meter”. Ordered the battery and repair kit. Works great now, error message is gone. The glue ring around the back plate is definitely the most annoying thing. I doubt the phone is water resistant now, but I’m still very happy with this repair.

This is totally my fault that this happened, because I didn’t read both guides thoroughly before starting, but there needs to be a big red “STOP” symbol at the top of this guide that says “Stop! If you intend to replace your screen, start there first. Do not replace the battery and replace the rear cover prior to replacing the screen.” I am out 2 hours of my life and have to wait for another back adhesive piece. But the bright side is the battery works great and combined with a fresh factory reset the phone is running like new.

Just did it. It was tough to get passed the glue thing on both the back cover and the battery, but I did it successfully. Now I have the phone as new, apart from the fact that the phone is not water resistent. I would add new steps to describe how to reseal with new glue and where to buy it. However, I just used the iOpener to reheat the glue so that it attaches again. Taking into account that I use the pixel cover, that shouldnt be a problem.

After replacing the battery my phone charged to 88% then stopped. The charging icon flickers when a charger is plugged in but it hasn't gone further.any idea what could cause this?

Help me battery

Thank you for this very GREAT GUIDE. My Pixel 4XL stopped wireless charging due to the internal battery being "bloated". It was of great help also because you have mentioned the tools needed; i.e. T3 driver, removing the battery adhesive was a pain though as all three of them broke at the very moment it was pulled. Nonetheless the entire replacement process took about 40 minutes following this guide, now it is sleek and thin and wireless charging is back.

I followed the guide exactly and somehow my display has been damaged. The haptics still work so I know its on and the touch screen works but the display doesn't power on. Please help.
