简介
Use this guide to replace a worn-out or dead battery on a Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 (15").
For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your laptop. 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.
You'll need replacement adhesive for the battery in order to complete this repair. Strong double-sided tape like Tesa 61395 is recommended.

Wow, that was hard. but I did it and it worked. however. a couple of things. two of the mounting holes in the ifixit battery do not line up with the holes in the case - not a big deal, as the adhesive does most of the holding. And, two elongated dump-bell-shaped washers/bushings fell out somewhere when taking the motherboard out. I just found them lying in the case. I have no idea where they go (i can send an image of them).. like i said, it appears to work without them -- for now.

I'll check on those battery mounting holes! Those two washers are mentioned in step 40. They live under the motherboard.
Got through that. The author did a great job with the instructions, thank you!
The laptop powers up and operates just fine but is not charging. We have ordered another Surface 127W power supply but does anyone know of any issues with the Microsoft power supply not being happy with the replacement battery?

Wow, what a job... Should probably have a caption saying "do not try this at home"! Amazing that Microsoft made it so extraordinarily complicated just to change the battery - obviously a design choice to get people to buy new machines rather than replacing batteries! This sort of design should be prohibited by law. Be warned, removing the various shields is awful, and prising the battery cells out with isopropanol is messy. However, with the fantastic instructions here, and care and perseverance it is certainly possible. Only additional note I would add is to take precautions for static. Finally completed at 3 in the morning and the laptop is back to together, runs and charges. Thanks for the guidance iFixit :)
