Follow this guide to remove and replace the battery on a Motorola Edge.
In this guide, some photos show the daughterboard and vibrator removed, but they don't need to be removed in order to replace the battery.
For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your phone.
This reduces the risk of fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before you install it.
I am having no luck removing the back cover on Moto edge. Can apply heat for more than 2 minutes?

You may! Heating beyond two minutes won't hurt your device; the iOpener doesn't get hot enough to do that. Apply the iOpener as long and as much as you need to loosen the adhesive.
