Inleiding
Even years after its release in 2014, the OnePlus One is a popular smartphone. However its built-in batteries will probably have worn out after all these years of usage.
Although the built-in batteries were not intentionally designed to be replaced by end-users, this is still possible. Replacement batteries are available through online shops. Some of them even maintain the original design of the OnePlus One batteries.
The batteries are connected to the motherboard via a ribbon that needs to be carefully disconnected first. To this end, you open the smartphone and unmount the motherboard cover. The batteries themselves are not packed in a hard cover. Hence, extra care is required when removing them.
This guide will walk you step by step through the process of removing the batteries and give useful advices on the mentioned dfficulties. After you will have removed the battery, you can just plug in your own by executing the steps in reversed order.

Remove the SIM tray.
-
Using a plastic opening tool, carefully separate the back panel from the main body assembly of the phone. Be extra careful around the SIM slot or other weak areas.
-
You may encounter some resistance due to hidden locking clips around the inside edge of the phone. Not to worry; just move in one consistent direction around the phone as opposed to jumping from spot to spot!
-
Top to bottom, left to right, clockwise or counter clockwise, once we make it about half way around the device, the panel is easily removable by hand.

Using a pair of tweezers, remove the plastic plugs.

Use the PH #00 screwdriver to remove the remaining six 3.175 screws.
A needle works best to remove the plugs.
I second this. I used a sewing pin and the plugs came out in no time!

when I lifted the motherboard cover the battery cable stuck on it so that I lifted both, the plastic cover and the cable - step 4 below was not necessary to perform. Be careful!
anyone know what is the 6 orange screws in step 2 are called?
e.g. M2 x 2
I lost some screws.
So where can I buy some replacement of these screws?

Using a plastic opening tool, gently pry up the black plastic cover and remove it from the device.

After we have removed the motherboard cover, we notice that the battery is intact and has a black ribbon attached to it, which is mounted on the logic board.
-
Using the spudger, carefully begin to lift the the battery up from the side opposite the ribbon. Be aware that there is high-grade adhesive holding the battery in its bay, so proceed with caution.
Is it OK to use the battery if I bent it during removal? I had to 'iron' it flat, but I think it might still be useable...
the best way to remove the battery is to lever the left side up from the bottom and remove it from the glue with an old credit card
Do this! it comes up very easily this way. All the adhesive is on the right side.
Great suggestion with a card to remove the battery!
Thanks for this trick saved me a lot of time

I second Dangerous Picture's suggestion. I found it very helpful to remove the ribbon from the dock (it was easy to do) before trying to remove the battery.
on my phone extensive use of glue was concentrated on just one side (right hand side). Not impossible to remove, little tricky
I mistakenly removed the battery with force, and the back peeled and brought out smoke, seemingly like it's gonna explode. Help !!!
Hola, después de cambiar la batería el telefono creo que sigue identificando que está gastada porque me dura igual que antes- He intentado un código de reteseteo pero me da error. Hay alguna forma de resetear la batería? el mío es el modelo 9 pro

Once the battery has been freed, we use the ever handy black spudger to pry up and free the battery ribbon from its dock.
Thought I was going to snap my battery in half but patience and slight pressure did the trick.
Also agreeing the battery should be disconnected as soon as possible.
From where do I procure a new battery for it?????????
There are several connectors to the motherboard. In the picture above, one connector above and, below the screw thread, three more connectors. Be careful to reconnect any connectors accidentally disconnected while disconnecting / removeing the battery. In my case the connector shown at the top of the row came unconnected.
salut, pour moi le connecteur à la nappe était collé au cache en plastique qui couvrait la carte mère … mais le reste s’est bien passé.
Merci pour le tuto !
Thanks Buddy, I replaced battery of my one plus one and when I switched it on, touch was not working. It was heart sinking panic moment...Then I came across https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus... post, simple trick of sliding piece of paper below battery solved and infact improved the touch response. Thanks !

When putting in the new battery, the battery ribbon cable did not line up with the dock on the motherboard, on the replacement battery I ordered from iFixIt. I was able to carefully peel back the foil covering ribbon cable, align the cable, then press the foil back in place. Now, everything seems to be working.

The Apple iPhone sim ejector is not long enough to work on an OPO. A paper clip is a better option.
There will be a compatible battery with one pin OnePlus
Successfully accomplished, thanks to your clear instructions. One note: the adhesive on my unit was applied in about a quarter inch strip along the right underside of the battery as you view it from the back. Peeling up the left side allowed me to reach and release the adhesive on the opposite side with the spudger or knife blade.
Thank you! I use a slim (but not sharp) butter knife to nudge the battery out slowly by poking the adhesive tape along its length. It was a bit unnerving because I was afraid of damaging the soft battery. Worked out in the end.
One note to add is that the original battery connector's top was glued to the motherboard cover. I had to remove the battery before I could successfully sepearte the 2. My phone is still working and I'm charging it right now! :)
Thanks for the very detailed guide.
How can I tell if the charging port or the battery that is damaged?
After doing this my screen no longer works. It's just a black screen whether I use the old battery or the replacement.
Fixed the black screen issue by taking the cover off and then checking all connections and putting back together. All good now. Hardest part was to get the cover off. Starting from the sim card port worked eventually.
anyone knows where can i buy a good quality battery? i dont want a cheap replacement...
I just got mine from this Ebay seller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/162062594869. It is an original battery, as far as I can tell.
Ordered it on Monday, received it on Friday. It took me about 30 minutes to replace the battery and it seems to work.
Hi everypone! Recently i bought the new original Oneplus One battery from this site, in few weeks i'll make an update.
Thanks it was verry useful and at the end succesful. With this tutorial i was verry confident.
I am looking for the new battery to replace old one in my Oneplus one. Can anyone help me, where can I get the genuine one or at-least a good one?
Good manual! Be careful the battery cable is attached to motherboard cover. Don't tear it off right away. Loosen the motherboard cover and SLOWLY and CAREFULLY lift it to see whether yours is attached too. Also get 1-2 plastic cards like credit cards to lift the battery from the tray. Mine was glued on the right side if you look at the battery with phone lying on the table face down. Make sure to discharge your battery before removal.
My phone only comes on when it's plugged to power. Could this be a battery problem? How can I get a new battery in Nigeria?
Great post i have been using one plus one since its release in india still i have that phone no lagging no any issue great phone ever at that price .
Thanks on your marvelous posting! I certainly enjoyed reading it. I will remember to bookmark your blog and will eventually come back from now on.Also Look for <a href="http://www.cabs2go.in/tours/mumbai-to-ma... style="text-decoration:underline;" target="_blank" >Mumbai to Mahabaleshwar taxi</a> I want to encourage that you continue your great writing, have a nice day!
Absolutely flawless. I followed the guide with the recommended battery and some simple tools. It worked like a charm at the very first trial and in 10 minutes. THANK VERY MUCH, SIR.
my oneplus one works only when charger is plugged in…turns off immediately or reboots when unlugged…could this be a battery issue…
Since there have been none of these batteries in stock for a long time, I found a Spanish website that sells them quite cheap. They appear to be official OnePlus batteries. Quite handy for any peeps in the EU :) www.impextrom.com
Bought a new battery for USD 9.50 via Ali Express. Lots of suppliers. Thanks to the clear and concise instructions I completed the battery replacement in no time, using a sharp knife to pry things apart and a plastic throw-away knife to help further. Put things back together and the OPO works as a charm. Just goes to show that OnePlus were environmentally friendly back in the old days. Nowadays you throw the phone away when the battery is dead, USD 500 (OP 5T) for a replacement phone. And thanks to the guys at ifixit, their efforts help us keep the world clean.
Réussi. Merci Javier !
DONT BUY from this seller. battery not work well https://www.ebay.com/usr/xiongdoudou17?_...
I've had my Oneplus One for nearly 2 years now and while I'm very happy about the hardware and even the software (still on Cyanogen), the battery is starting to become really weak. It used to last way longer with a single charge than it does now and I want to replace it
i think battery is dead because i play many unblock games on my mobile
Since the day I met him, he knew that today
One day, my memory is filled, surrounded by pictures of me surrounded. Struggling forever in a sentence, "now what to do?...... Play Game: basketball games
Everything worked like a charm from the first time. Very clear and detailed instructions. Thank you!
Great, I peeled off the repaired battery, exactly what you told me, thank you. and now the battery is back
anyone know what is the 6 orange screws in step 2 are called?
e.g. M2 x 2
Worked like a charm. Like others have said, most difficult part was removing the back cover. The adhesive on the old battery was a little tough as well. My battery cable was also stuck to the back cover. Connecting the new battery cable was pretty easy, just needed to look closely to make sure aligned to snap in. Many thanks!
Your post is very meticulous and impressive for me, I hope to get more good posts. shell shockers
Super Anleitung Danke
Super Anleitung Danke
thanks for the guide. Battery cable was sticking to the motherboard cover. Like comments before mine also had a glue strip on the right underneath the battery. So tilting it up from left works, be careful not to break it.
It doesn't mention you have to remove SIM tray first.

I used the #0 for the rear panel screws. The #00 is too small and will slip, stripping the screws if you're not extra careful.

Has anyone answered this? I am looking too.

Aliexpress for $9 (original)

The last three hidden screws are a !&&* of a time consumer to remove. probably you would need only a certain type of tweezers - I got stuck at midway and now I cannot get go have my phone detect the sim card either probably because the six screws are removed. I can now turn the phone back on but with no service or wifi connections are detected. This phone is a disaster!

Ivdid that too but son in law found I had reinstalled sim card in backwards or upside down.

I was able to open going from the microusb slot and working my way around. The corners are tough, though.
Roger - Antwoord
in my phone the battery was glued with double sided adhesive tape, only on the right side. I pried the left side up first, and carefully removed the battery. to lift the battery I used first used a suction cup(?) followed by a plectrum like tool to lift te battery, and keep it lifted

A word of caution: the back panel is harder to remove than you might think. Especially because you may be removing the *screen* by mistake. When you have a "grip" with the tool make sure the metallic border is not coming off with it, and when you have removed enough to be able to lift the panel, make sure it isn't attached by ribbons - in that case you've been removing the screen. A good idea is to gently press your finger nail against the weak plastic located between the back and the SIM slot, and going up and down and sideways until you hear a click. Then you can start from there with the opening tool. As recommended be very gentle around the SIM slot.
