Use this guide to replace a worn-out or dead battery in your Google Pixel 6 Pro.

If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your phone. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair.

If you do not replace the adhesive seals when reassembling, your device will function normally, but will most likely lose its water protection.

You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.

Paso 2 Insert an opening pick

Once the screen is warm to the touch, apply a suction handle to the bottom edge of the screen.

If your screen is badly cracked, covering it with a layer of clear packing tape may allow the suction handle to adhere. Alternatively, very strong tape may be used instead of the suction handle. If all else fails, you can superglue the suction handle to the screen.

Lift the screen including its safety frame with the suction handle to create a small gap between the screen and the phone assembly.

Paso 4

The screen of the Google Pixel 6 Pro is not only held in place by adhesive but also small plastic pins. In case your opening pick gets blocked during the screen removal procedure it means you insert your pick too deep underneath the screen. Only inserted the tip of the opening pick (~3-4 mm) when slicing the display adhesive.

Insert a third opening pick underneath the bottom left corner of the screen.

Paso 21 Apply high concentration isopropyl alcohol

There's only adhesive underneath the top and bottom areas of the battery and not underneath the center. The see-through plastic strip around the center of the battery is not especially useful during the removal procedure. Feel free to remove it for easier handling by opening its adhesive seal and pulling it out from underneath the battery.

Bring your phone assembly to an ~45° angle.

Conclusión

If possible, turn on your device and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing.

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. During reassembly apply new adhesive where necessary after cleaning the relevant areas with isopropyl alcohol (>90%).

For optimal performance, calibrate your newly installed battery after completing this guide.
