Introduction
This guide will demonstrate how to replace the battery for the Dell Inspiron 15-7559. This may be necessary if you have issues charging or turning on the device.
For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your device. 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.

Cool, that’s the easy part. How do you tell the UEFI that it’s okay to charge the new battery?
is it ok to replace the 11.4V battery with the 11.1V version?
