When replacing the Asus Chromebook C213SA-YS02 battery, it is necessary to be careful when prying up the keyboard and back-plate. There are plastic hinges that keep the device together that can be snapped if one is not careful. The battery, in any device, wears down after a couple of years, causing battery life to decrease dramatically as time goes on. Replacing a battery is a more affordable solution than going out and buying a new laptop and it is less cumbersome than keeping the laptop plugged in to charge.
Before one does this though, check to see what background apps, processes, and other device functions may be lowering the battery performance, for that may be the problem and the battery itself may not need to be changed.
