Just don't. If you're not a tech wizard, fiddling with the internals can turn your cool Steam Deck into an expensive paperweight. Take it to a professional if you're having battery issues.

First off, gotta say it's a bit of a tricky process and not recommended unless you really know what you're doing. But if you're determined, you'll need to power off your Steam Deck completely before you start. Flip it over and unscrew the back panel off. You'll see the battery connected to the motherboard. Carefully unplug the battery connector by gently pulling it away from the motherboard. And that's pretty much it! Just be super careful not to damage any components.
