Follow this guide to open up the Pixel XL to remove and replace its battery. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
Before disassembling your phone, discharge the battery below 25%. The battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured, but the chances of that happening are much lower if discharged.
The Pixel XL’s unreinforced display panel is fragile and is attached to the frame with strong adhesive, making repairs difficult. There is a considerable chance of breaking the display, especially if it already has micro-fractures. Be sure to apply plenty of heat and be extremely careful during the prying stage.
The battery is held in place by very strong adhesive. You may need to use high concentration (over 90%) isopropyl alcohol in order to loosen the battery from the phone.

-
Heat an iOpener and apply it to the top edge of the display for two minutes.
-
Take note of the following regions before you begin prying:
-
Thin adhesive lined against the display panel
-
Thick adhesive
-
The OLED display panel, which is very prone to damage
-
The display cable, which can be damaged during prying
-
-
-
Heat an iOpener and apply it to the right edge of the phone for two minutes.
-
Insert an opening pick near the top edge of the phone, where you have already sliced the adhesive.
-
Slowly guide the pick around the right corner.
-
Carefully slide the pick down the right edge of the phone to slice through the adhesive.
-
Repeat the step for the left edge of the phone.
-
-
-
-
Remove the following screws that secure the midframe to the back:
-
Seven black 4 mm T5 screws
-
Two silver 3 mm T5 screws
-
-
-
Use the point of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the battery connector.
-
Bend the battery flex cable slightly so that it will not accidentally touch the motherboard.
-
-
-
The battery is secured by two strips of double-sided tape.
-
Heat an iOpener and place it on the back of the phone's left edge for two minutes. You may need to reheat and reapply the iOpener.
-
-
-
Flip the phone over.
-
Push an opening pick slowly and firmly down the right edge of the battery (which should be warm). Slide it slightly back and forth to slice through the adhesive.
-
Once you have loosened the right side of the battery from the case, leave an opening pick in place to prevent the adhesive from re-adhering.

If your Pixel won't turn on after you reconnect the screen, there is a chance that the phone has silently turned on when the battery is re-connected. Hold the power button for a few seconds until the phone vibrates off. Afterwards, re-connect the screen, and try again.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
After completing this guide, calibrate your newly-installed battery.

I applied the heat with the iOpener multiple times around the edges (reheating it as needed to where it could barely handle it), and they refused to lift up with the suction cup.
Eventually the screen cracked as I was attempting to pry up an edge out of desperation. First attempt at fixing my own phone = fail whale :(
Sorry to hear about the unsuccessful repair, John!

Is there an ideal temperature to head the adhesive to without destroying the screen?
@martinsing For most adhesives, 80-85° C is about right. You might have to maintain that temperature for a few minutes before it softens up.
How much deeper do I need to cut with the picks/etc top and bottom. The ~1.5mm of my picks isn’t deep enough to cut all the glue on the bottom (haven’t tried on the top yet); my sides were ‘easy’ to free in that my bad battery already lifed them free leaving the screen secured only top and bottom. I can probe deeper with a card or spudger, but how much farther should I be going.
