What You Need
To replace the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro battery, you will need the following tools and parts:
- A new Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro battery, which you can buy online or from a Xiaomi service center23. The battery costs around 799 INR in India2, 999 GBP in the UK4, and 1999 USD in the US5.
- A heat gun or a hair dryer, to soften the adhesive that holds the back cover.
- A suction cup, to lift the back cover.
- A plastic pry tool or a guitar pick, to separate the back cover from the frame.
- A Phillips screwdriver, to remove the screws that secure the battery connector and the fingerprint sensor cable.
- A pair of tweezers, to disconnect the battery connector and the fingerprint sensor cable.
- A plastic card or a spudger, to cut through the battery adhesive and pry out the battery.
Step 1: Turn Off the Phone and Remove the SIM Tray
Before you start, make sure to turn off your phone completely and remove the SIM tray from the top edge of the phone. This will prevent any damage to the phone or the SIM card during the battery replacement process.
Step 2: Heat Up and Pry Open the Back Cover
The back cover of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro is glued to the frame with strong adhesive, so you will need to heat it up and pry it open carefully. You can use a heat gun or a hair dryer to apply heat evenly around the edges of the back cover for about a minute, or until the adhesive becomes soft. Then, you can use a suction cup to pull up the back cover slightly from the bottom edge of the phone, and insert a plastic pry tool or a guitar pick into the gap. You can slide the tool along the edges of the back cover, while applying gentle pressure, to separate it from the frame. Be careful not to damage the back cover or the fingerprint sensor cable that is attached to it.
Step 3: Disconnect the Battery Connector and the Fingerprint Sensor Cable
Once you have removed the back cover, you will see the battery connector and the fingerprint sensor cable on the top left corner of the phone. You will need to disconnect them before you can remove the battery. To do this, you can use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws that secure the metal bracket over the battery connector, and lift the bracket with a pair of tweezers. Then, you can use the tweezers to disconnect the battery connector from the motherboard. Next, you can use the tweezers to disconnect the fingerprint sensor cable from the back cover, and set the back cover aside.
Step 4: Remove the Battery Adhesive and the Battery
The battery of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 Pro is held in place by four strips of adhesive, two on each side of the battery. You will need to remove them before you can pry out the battery. To do this, you can use a plastic card or a spudger to slide under the battery from the bottom edge of the phone, and cut through the adhesive. You can also use a heat gun or a hair dryer to soften the adhesive if it is too hard. Be careful not to puncture or bend the battery, as it may leak or catch fire. Once you have removed the adhesive, you can use the plastic card or the spudger to lift the battery from the phone.
Step 5: Install the New Battery and Reassemble the Phone
Now that you have removed the old battery, you can install the new one. You can align the new battery with the phone, and press it firmly into place. You can also apply some new adhesive strips to the battery, if you want to secure it better. Then, you can reconnect the battery connector and the fingerprint sensor cable, and put back the metal bracket and the screws over the battery connector. Finally, you can reattach the back cover to the frame, and press it firmly around the edges to seal the adhesive. You can also use a heat gun or a hair dryer to heat up the back cover and the frame, to make the adhesive stick better.
