How to Install a New Battery in Your Google Pixel 8 Pro
This repair guide, written by iFixit staff, has not been officially endorsed by Google. If your battery is removable, take it out now before proceeding.
Step 1 | Remove the old adhesive from the frame
Remove all old adhesive and residue from the battery frame.
- Use a spudger's flat end to scrape away old adhesive.
- If necessary, apply a few drops of 90% isopropyl alcohol to loosen adhesive.
Be careful not to leave any residue on the frame — it can affect battery performance.
Step 2 | Remove the old adhesive residue
Do not leave any remaining adhesive to compromise the new attachment's integrity.
- Apply several drops of highly-concentrated (greater than 90%) isopropyl alcohol to leftover residue on the frame.
- Wipe clean using a microfiber or lint-free cloth.
Step 3 | Temporarily reconnect the battery
Place the battery in its designated location and briefly reconnect it to the logic board for a fit and cable check.
- Verify correct alignment before proceeding.
- Disconnect the battery and carefully remove it from its recess.
Step 4 | Install the battery
Remove the plastic liner if your battery has pre-installed adhesive.
Firmly press the battery into its recess to secure it with the adhesive.
If your battery doesn't have adhesive, apply Tesa Tape or similar double-sided tape and firmly press the battery into place.
