Use this guide to replace a dead or faulty battery in your Moto Z Force Droid.
Before you begin, download the Rescue and Smart Assistant app to backup your device and diagnose whether your problem is software or hardware related.
For your safety, discharge your existing battery below 25% before disassembling your phone. 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.

You mention discharging the battery below 25%, but my battery is at the point where it shuts off within 30 seconds if it isn’t plugged into a power source. The charge percentage on my phone always hovers just below 100% if plugged in, but if I unplug it and try to turn it on several times without an adequate power source that percentage can vary wildly. Should I just assume at this point that if it isn’t plugged in and has shut off on its own, it’s discharged?
Hi Greg, if the phone shuts off on its own, it’s usually safe to assume the battery is drained below 25%. It sounds like there’s a problem with the control board on your battery causing a faulty capacity reading. As always, be careful not to bend or puncture the battery. Discharging the battery is a precaution to prevent a thermal event if the battery is punctured, but the best safety measure you can take is to just handle the battery carefully. Good luck on your repair!
Only issue I ran into, and no fault of the author, was the little glass top panel. Cracked it to oblivion with one slip. But ebay has replacements for $9 for the set, so can’t complain. The rest of the description was FANTASTIC and got me through the installation with no problem. Took and hour total. Thank you!
The user comments greatly expanded the already decent instructions; READ THEM! IMHO, just buy the back glass beforehand. Once I broke the bottom one and ordered replacements, the job moved right along. I took about 1:45, most of which I spent heating those two stupid little pieces of glass.
