    • This is the battery. For guides that are for other parts, the battery is removed for the reason of it being a pain to connect or disconnect while screwed in.

    • Be careful not to short anything on the motherboard, as the battery cannot be disconnected before removal.

    • Remove four J1 Philips screws.

    • Remove one J1 philips screw.

    • Do not mix these screws up. If you put the longer screw where the shorter screw belongs, you will damage the shield around the keyboard.

    • Lift the battery slightly using your plastic opening tool.

    • Do not lift the battery out all the way, as it is still connected to the motherboard.

    • Do NOT puncture or deform the battery or it may catch fire or even explode.

Hi Aiden. I have the Lenovo yoga 720-12ikb. Is a bit smaller. Do you know if the same instructions will work on this unit? Thanks

I just would like to let people know that when reassembling you need to push the connector firmly all the way otherwise battery will not be properly connected. Make sure to note the position of the switch when unplugging.

This worked great, my yoga should keep on chugging for years to cone.

On my Yoga 720-131KB, there were only four J1 Philips screws securing the battery in Step 4. There was no longer screw marked in yellow, nor was there a screw attachment point on the battery.

Thank you for preparing this guide!

Great instructions, as usual. This was my second battery replacement (two separate computers: 720 and 730). They look similar, but screws are placed differently, and case comes apart in the opposite direction. Battery is the same though. Since they were 3 and 4 years old, the batteries were totally shot, and computers would shut down suddenly, even when apparently at 100% charge. I'm hoping this replacement will keep them going a few more years.

That battery connection is really small, it's hard to get much leverage to reconnect the new battery. Still, as others have said, pay attention to the orientation of the connector, make sure it's aligned, and be patient. If you line it up just right, it'll glide in. Make sure it goes in all the way.
