Mi A2 Lite Battery Replacement

A discharged battery reduces risk of fire in case of accidental damage.

• Power off the phone completely.
• Remove all external accessories such as cases, cables, and the SIM card tray.

Be cautious when prying the back cover — only target the plastic frame and avoid gaps between the frame and glass.

• Insert a plastic pick into the gap above the SIM card tray.
• Slide it down the long edge of the phone, separating the plastic as you go.
• Continue prying all around the phone until the back cover is loose and ready to remove.

• Use a plastic spudger to carefully pry up the press connector.
• Once released, remove the back cover and set it aside.

Risk of short circuit when using metal tools.

• Remove three Phillips #0/#00 screws.
• Pry up the metal shield covering the battery connector, using a non-metal tool.
• Set aside the shield and pry up the battery press connector.

Skipping this step may damage the adhesive strips required for the next step.

• Remove the five Phillips screws, one of which is secured by a security sticker.
• Pry up the speaker module with care and set it aside.

Be careful not to damage the orange flex connector, located to the right of the adhesive strips.

• Firmly grip one of the black pieces of tape with tweezers and start peeling it up.
• When free, pull gently at a low angle on the white stretch release adhesive, as it can break easily.
• Continue pulling until the entire strip is removed; it may stretch to several times its original length.

If the strip breaks off underneath the battery, refer to the next step for guidance.

• Repeat the process for the other adhesive strip.

Apply 99% isopropyl alcohol under the broken strip using a syringe.

• Wait for several minutes to allow the alcohol to flow and break up the adhesive.
• Once loosened, use a plastic pick or suction cup to remove the battery.

Avoid forcing the battery if the adhesive is still strong — instead apply more alcohol as needed.
