Inleiding
If your Dell XPS 13 (also known as Dell XPS 13 Infinity Edge Ultrabook or Dell XPS 13 Skylake) has lost its ability to hold a charge, you most likely have a dead battery, which requires replacement.
A functional battery provides power to your laptop. Eventually, laptop batteries will rapidly drain after going through a repeated amount of charge cycles. If you notice that your charged battery is draining more quickly than usual, consider calibrating your battery to determine an accurate charging capacity. If you continue to notice significant drops in battery percentage, you should replace your battery.
A punctured battery can cause a dangerous fire. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
Make sure to power down your device before you begin.

Plug in replacement battery, then plug in the power adaptor, too. If notebook neither charges nor does boot, unplug battery and charger, then remove and re-install coin-cell battery (CMOS, RTC; see Dell’s guide).
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Put compatible batteries under parts.
I followed the instruction carefully and it was quite helpful. However, now that I am done with the battery replacement, the speaker no longer works, and it seems that there is a hardware issue. Any thoughts on this?
@Sara - Looking on another ifixit procedure, I found that the speaker wires are taped to the battery, so I suspect that the speaker was not properly plugged in after reassemble, or that something happened to the wires during battery removal. Hopefully the wires weren’t cut or stretched.
Here is what the XPS 13 teardown procedure had to say:
“….After that, it still isn't a perfectly clean getaway—the speaker wires are strategically taped to the battery in a half dozen spots, which we'll have to liberate to free the battery. (Admittedly, it could have been a lot worse.)
These same wires are trapped under the battery screws—so speaker replacement means battery removal. It looks like the XPS has some layering issues.”

I hope this helps.
