Mi 8 Explorer Battery Replacement

简介

My old Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer needed a new battery, and while trying to find a guide on here, I noticed that the nearest one I could find was for the Pro version, So I decided to make a guide to change said battery (about half way through the replacement, don't judge!)

Remove the battery, unlike the Original Mi 8 Pro, I didn't find any glue tabs to remove the battery, so I used a mix of my Halberd Spudger, and a plastic card to remove the battery.
Insert the replacement battery, and test the phone.
