Einleitung

This guide shows how to remove and replace the battery for the Dell Precision 5520 laptop.

For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your device. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

    Will the BIOS complain that this is not a Dell purchased battery and thus refuse to charge it?
