Introduction

This guide introduces how to replace the battery from Dell Latitude E7470. The laptop comes with different battery configurations. While this guide shows how to remove a standard capacity battery, the procedure is similar when replacing the extended capacity battery. And the last steps have photos of the extended capacity battery (the part sold by iFixit.com)

Before inserting the new battery, you may need to remove the protective blue plastic film on the metal silver side of the battery (they are on the ifixit Replacement Laptop Battery, see link above).
Re-plug the same cable on the new battery, and allow the cable to go around as showed on the photos.
