Steps to Replace the Inbuilt Battery
Power Off the Laptop: Shut down the laptop completely and unplug it from the power source.

Remove All Peripherals: Disconnect any external devices like USB drives, monitors, or keyboards.

Prepare Your Workspace: Work on a clean, flat surface to avoid losing screws and small parts.

Remove the Back Panel:

Flip the laptop over and locate the screws securing the back panel.
Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove these screws.
Carefully use a plastic spudger to pry off the back panel, starting from one edge and working your way around.
Locate the Battery:

Once the back panel is removed, locate the battery. It will typically be a large rectangular component connected to the motherboard.
Disconnect the Battery:

Carefully unplug the battery connector from the motherboard. This may involve gently pulling on the connector or using a spudger to pry it loose.
Remove the Old Battery:

If the battery is secured with screws, remove those screws.
Carefully lift the battery out of its compartment.
Install the New Battery:

Place the new battery in the same position as the old one.
Secure it with screws if applicable.
Connect the battery to the motherboard, ensuring it’s firmly seated.
Reattach the Back Panel:

Align the back panel with the laptop and press it into place.
Reinsert and tighten all screws.
Power On the Laptop:

Plug in the laptop and turn it on. The system should recognize the new battery.
Calibrate the Battery (Optional):

To ensure optimal performance, fully charge the new battery, then let it drain completely and recharge again.
Tips
Always check your laptop's user manual or the Acer support website for model-specific instructions.
Handle all components carefully to avoid damage.
Dispose of the old battery according to local regulations.
If you’re not comfortable performing this replacement, consider taking your laptop to a professional technician.
