Dell Inspiron 13 5378 (P69G) Lithium ion battery change in real time

[@tomtoms8382]

Watching this on my Dell Inspiron 7000 while I'm having a battery issue. This is very helpful, thank you.

[@arnavc4993]

what was the issue?

[@tomtoms8382]

@@arnavc4993 It drains so fast. Just found out that the charging adapter was faulty. Try changing the adapter first before replacing the battery for issues like these.

[@keriskousen5232]

Thanks! I've been "lame" and waiting on my hubbie to do this for me. Finally decided, "I'm smart enough to look this up and do it myself!" Now the fun part - ordering it and putting it together and surprising him!

[@percyconnolly]

You can do it!!

[@chafaithhope7195]

Thank you! I was waiting for my husband to do this for me because he told me that he wants to do it. Well, I got tired of waiting I think it’s been 3 months since my battery arrived. It was very frustrating because my battery was at 0%. It’s a piece of cake through your help.

[@psatyapurohit]

Thank you for making this video. No doubt it will help a lot of people decide to tackle this job themselves, with the confidence that they can complete it. The fact that its real time, means it doesn’t gloss over any potentially tricky steps (glad to see there were none).

My Inspiron is 6 years old (I know, I know! but in great condition…apart from the battery🙄) and just replaced the battery following your video. Easy peasy so BIG thanks.

[@percyconnolly]

[@davidnaylor83]

Thanks for showing how easy this is! I'm going to help my mum swap out her battery and save her quite a bit of cash.

[@michellerahn]

Thank you so much. I was able to replace my laptop battery without issue following your instructions. It was much simpler than I expected.

[@duckygonecrazy]

Thanks for being my guide as I replaced my own battery! Definitely helps to have a project-buddy lol. I would’ve emphasized taking time on the lifting-back part though - I figured out along the way to use an old gift card to help pry it open without cracking/snapping anything off. Everything else was super simple though!

[@percyconnolly]

Glad I could help!

❤ thank you so much for this! I'm elated my new replacement battery is working after your very helpful and easy to follow video.. I was quoted £150 and did iit myself after watching this. Very grateful 😊😊😊

[@mvpriebe56]

Thanks, it was an easy swap out but seeing it first was great!

[@kgl6944]

Good job..thank you. One of the main reasons I bought this laptop was because it is very easy to open and access everything on the motherboard, battery, memory, SSD etc. which makes it easy to upgrade/repair. One technical note: some folks may try to use a metal flat blade screwdriver to separate the cable from the battery: don't. Getting ready to replace my battery now too...

Thanks, Just did mine "in real time" along with your video. Where do I send you a bajillion bucks?

[@darrellhambley7245]

Just FYI of anyone reading this. I saw that the original battery only had two screws; the ones nearest the edge of the laptop were never installed. I put the two back in and the battery is firm anyway. Also, note that Percy pushes the cover back on while listening for the clicking sound to make sure it's all the way down. I didn't do this on one side and ended up cross-threading a screw so, do that.

Hey, thanks for this. How has the battery health been over the last year??

Great 3-4 hours easily!!!

how long did this battery last or is it still working ? how is it compared to the original dell battery ? thanks

It has lasted 3 years as of now but it does need to be changed again it will only last an hour or less after 3 years. Pretty much the same as the original lasted

How do you rate this specific battery replacement? are you happy with the company and the quality of battery?

[@percyconnolly]

great works perfect

[@attaullahrahimi844]

Hey! Loved the vid, btw how is the battery now, did u change it or if it is still the same battery from this video can you time the usage on your laptop and see how long the battery lasts, or do u have any issues what so ever with the battery? Tip: next time to really see if the battery works can you show us before and after the battery health.

[@percyconnolly]

its been a year since I changed it, lasts over 2 hours.... but when is starts to get low, it dies really fast.

Hey so after we did this the mouse pad stopped working. What could we have done to cause this.

[@percyconnolly]

It’s possible you may in connected it.... where battery plugs in there is another connector.... in not certain that controls the mouse or not. But that is only other plug near where we connect the battery

[@percyconnolly]

Looking back at the video there are 3 blue connectors in close proximity of the battery I would suggest opening it back up and checking those.

Dell recently changed my laptop battery and now when i charge the computer, the led is not on. I mean it's charging but the led goes off. Do you know what can i do? Also when i put the cable in ,it takes a bit to start the actual charge. It's a weird behaviour

So I have this same computer- battery was swelling so I ordered the appropriate battery on Newegg. Replaced it like in the video making sure it’s plugged in right and plugged the whole laptop in to charge the battery. However if I unplug the laptop it shuts off right away. So is it right to think either the battery is dead or I installed it wrong? I just checked the new battery again and it’s securely fasted and plugged into the motherboard. Just don’t know what to do next
