Introduction
The battery supplies constant power to the motherboard, even when the laptop is turned off. To avoid damaging other components, remove the battery first. Luckily, the battery does not get in the way of most repairs.
For batteries that have a burning smell, or the battery is very warm to the touch, or just generally not working, this guide is used to remove them immediately to prevent overheating, failure, or even potentially exploding.
CAUTION: if the battery is “swollen” or the shape is irregular, stop whatever you are doing and allow the battery to slowly discharge itself before removing it from the laptop casing. Click the link to learn how to replace a “swollen” battery, What to do with a swollen battery
