Einleitung

Use this guide to replace a worn out or dead battery in your Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2.

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

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Use your fingers to remove the thumbstick toppers.

Schritt 2

Use your fingers to remove the D-pad cover.

Schritt 3

The top housing is secured in two ways:
13 tight plastic clips
Several strips of adhesive tape

Schritt 4

Releasing the plastic clips requires significant force. Take your time to avoid damaging your controller.
Insert an opening tool between the left bumper and the top housing.
Pry up the top housing to release the top left clip.

Schritt 5

Insert an opening tool into the seam between the two housings on the controller’s left edge.

Schritt 6

Slide the opening tool along the left edge and pry up intermittently to release the plastic clips.

Schritt 7

Insert your opening tool into the seam between the two housings on the inner left edge.
Slide the opening tool along the bottom edge and pry up intermittently to release the plastic clips.

Schritt 8

Insert your opening tool into the seam between the two housings on the controller’s right edge.
Slide the opening tool along the right edge and pry up intermittently to release the plastic clips.

Schritt 9

Insert your opening tool between the right bumper and the top housing.
Pry up the top housing to release the remaining plastic clips.

Schritt 10

Remove the top housing.
To reinstall the top housing, position it on the midframe assembly and press down firmly along the edges to engage all of the clips.

Schritt 11

If there's a white sticker covering one of the top screws, pierce through it with the screwdriver or use tweezers to remove it.
Use a Torx T8 Security screwdriver to remove the six 9 mm-long screws securing the midframe assembly.

Schritt 12

The midframe assembly is held in place by three plastic clips and two metal rods.
Insert the flat end of a spudger under the top right edge of the midframe, just above the clip.
Pry up the midframe assembly to release the clips securing it.

Schritt 13

Remove the midframe assembly.
During reassembly, align the triggers with the bottom housing before clipping the midframe assembly back in. If they aren't lined up correctly, the triggers might not work properly.
To reinstall the midframe assembly, lay it into the bottom housing and press firmly on the edges to engage the clips.

Schritt 14

Use a Torx T6 screwdriver to remove the four 6.9 mm-long screws securing the battery cover.

Schritt 15

Remove the battery cover.

Schritt 16

Grab the battery and lift it out of its recess.
Remove the battery.
Never reuse a deformed or damaged battery—it's a fire hazard. Replace it with a new battery.
Make sure to align the battery correctly by positioning the contacts on the bottom right of the battery on the prongs.
