Use this guide to replace a worn-out or dead battery in your Galaxy Buds+. The photos for this guide were taken with the left earbud, but the procedure is the same for both earbuds.
Galaxy Buds+ are rated IPX2 for ingress-resistance, meaning they are splash resistant. After this repair, they may lose their water protection.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order. Apply new adhesive where necessary after cleaning the relevant areas with isopropyl alcohol (>90%).
For optimal performance, calibrate your newly installed battery: Charge it to 100% and keep charging it for at least 2 more hours. Then use your device until it shuts off due to low battery. Finally, charge it uninterrupted to 100%.

Just finished replacement of my batteries. My model didnt have the lower carrier but bad some thermal pads on the bottom PCB and the top plastic cover keeping the battery stable. I had to move the top PCB out of place, then take off the top plastic holder to get the battery out as it isnt physically connected to the top PCB. other then that it was much easier then i expected. THanks!!!!
Thanks to your guide i was able to disassemble both of my earbuds for me to test the batteries since one of them wasn't charging, turns out one of the batteries is long gone, but i wouldn't be able to open them without your guide, THANKS!! Now is just a matter of getting the battery replacements and get them on the go again!
If your headphones are older like mine please keep in mind: the interior plastic that holds the battery was a salmon color for me and the headphone basically fell apart when trying to open it as the adhesive was very broken down. Everything still works fine, just was a little surprising when things just popped open with no force. Thanks iFixit. Lets keep these headphones going another 3 years.
