Follow this guide to replace an aging LG G6 battery.
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.

For reference, the backside of the panel is shown in the first photo. Note the clearance between the edge of the panel and the fragile ribbon cable beside the fingerprint sensor.
-
Be careful as you slice and pry to the left side of the fingerprint sensor, as seen from the outside of the phone in the third photo.
-
-
-
Use a hairdryer, a heat gun, or prepare an iOpener and apply it to the lower edge of the G6 for about a minute to soften up the adhesive underneath the rear glass panel.

-
-
If you don't have a small object for propping, you can (carefully) perform this step at the edge of a desk or table to achieve the same angle of entry.
-
Lift the rear panel's bottom edge with your suction cup, opening a slight gap between the panel and the frame.
-
Once you've created a gap, press the flat end of an opening tool into the gap.
-
-
-
Additionally, you can use multiple opening picks for this process, leaving one in place on each side after you finish slicing to prevent the adhesive from re-adhering as it cools.
-
Slide the opening pick along the left edge of the phone to slice through the adhesive securing the rear panel.

-
Use tweezers to peel away any remaining adhesive from both the rear panel and the phone's chassis.
-
Clean the adhesion areas with high concentration isopropyl alcohol (at least 90%) and a lint-free cloth. Swipe in one direction only, not back and forth. This will help prep the surface for the new adhesive.
-
Peel away the replacement adhesive's liner, align it with the back of the phone, and press it into place.
-
Remove any remaining liners, and replace the rear glass panel.
-
After installing the rear panel, apply strong, steady pressure to your phone for several minutes to help the adhesive form a good bond, such as by placing it under a stack of heavy books.

-
-
Remove the four Phillips screws holding down the lower antenna shield.
Suggestion… reword it… “relocate warranty cod if…” sticker…;)

Use a spudger to pry up the press connector at the end of the battery's ribbon cable, disconnecting the battery.
The hardest thing for me was getting the battery connector reconnected. I didn't want to break/bend anything. Maybe you can add a close up picture of both ends of the connector.

Use tweezers to lift up the blue pull tab at the bottom of the battery.

Prepare an iOpener and apply it to the screen opposite where the battery sits. The heat will help soften the adhesive holding the battery down. Do not apply the iOpener or any other form of heat directly to the battery.
-
Apply some high-concentration isopropyl alcohol or adhesive remover along the bottom of the battery and then tilt the phone so the liquid will run along the bottom of the battery and weaken the adhesive. Then wait a few minutes and try removal again.
-
Carefully slide the flat end of a spudger under the battery to slice through the adhesive and lever the battery out of the phone.
My copy came without the blue pull tab but since the battery was set so close to the cutouts border is wasn’t able to slide the spudger underneath it and the solvent couldnt reach the adhesive parts. The cut out on the left side of the base plate provided a barely wide enough entrypoint to carefully slide/lever a narrow cut (approx. 10mm) thin plastic card with runded edges(!) under the battery. This allowed the solvent to creep to the center of the base plate which then successfully weakened the adhesive after some minutes as described above.

To reassemble your device, follow the above steps in reverse order.
For optimal performance, calibrate your newly installed battery: Charge it to 100% and keep charging it for at least 2 more hours. Then use your device until it shuts off due to low battery. Finally, charge it uninterrupted back to 100%.
Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.

Parfait! j’ai changé ma batterie sans problèmes grâce à ce tutoriel. Merci à Taylor et Claire!
Avec plaisir Nil :)
Pretty good tutorial!
Do I have to recalibrate the battery somehow?
Hi Andreas,
Follow the battery calibration steps listed in the conclusion box to calibrate your new battery.
I would have liked instructions on how to install the new rear cover adhesive from iFixit at the end. The notches in the adhesive didn’t line up with anything.
This guide worked really well for me! I got the ifixit adhesive remover, which worked well to clean off the old adhesive on the back cover and beneath the battery. I also got the 4mm roll of Tesa tape, which was about the same thickness as the old adhesive, and made it easy to cut strips of appropriate size to replace all the spots where the old tape was. I have plenty of tape and adhesive remover left over for future repairs.
After putting in the new battery and connecting the small “press connector” at the end of the cable ribbon, I would recommend plugging in your phone to make sure the battery is charging before replacing the back. If I could do this all over again, I would go ahead and replace the fingerprint sensor while I had the phone open, they’re notorious for failing on the G6.
The pressure connection is tricky to Line up with the contacts. Test the battery is charging before putting back the cover. The process is very well documented and I didn't have any issues, thanks for the guide!
I just changed my battery following the German transcript.
Warranty void sticker and sadly the battery strap were missing in my phone.
So i had to poke under battery with my spudger. And by sheer luck the phone survived. The copper circles in the battery’s aluminium trunk are not sticker material as i thought, but holes in the mid frame with copper foil under them, already belonging to the display unit. That’s were i was poking and sliding around, scratching the foil, but as mentioned not with fatal consequences. Phew.
Insert tools to lift the battery in a way to avoid these holes, which is particularly hard at the position of the speaker, which is also about the only spot where you can get under the battery…
Great tutorial. The iOpener did nothing for removing that glass backplate, it needed higher heat. I used a hairdryer on the hot setting and didn’t have to break out the heat gun. Try the flat picks rather than the opening tool to work your way under the edge, as they’re thinner.
The iOpener was more useful in applying constant heat to the screen while trying to remove the old battery.
Tip: when putting the upper antenna shield assembly back in, pay close attention to where the screws go — there’s a hole that looks like a screw hole but isn’t. I hope I didn’t damage any circuitry trying to put a screw in there. The phone still boots up and functions, so fingers crossed.
Istruzioni dettagliate, veramente un gioco da ragazzi seguendo passo passo, grazie
This is a very good tutorial, everything worked as described. Nobody should have to dispose of a mobile just because the battery is defective. But you need some skill and good tools.
In the UK, the battery will cost you around £12 from Amazon, which would seem makes this exercise worth while. Very nice guide, but it should come with a warning that you should only attempt this knowing the risk that you may completely destroy your phone. You are also very likely to remove any kind of water and dust damage protection in the process. Probably worth letting a professional do it if you do not feel too confident in your abilities…
