The backpanel is a bit tricky to remove, but it can be managed.
The "Essential Electronics Toolkit" is very useful! I recommend to order it with the battery.
I am confused because according to dell.com the battery for the XPS 13 9380 is the G7GV0, not the G8VCF (DXGH8) which you are selling here:

vs.
The hole for the M1.6x4 screw is too large, allowing the head to go through the hole and not hold the battery. I sawed off the tab from the old battery to use as a washer.
You should be careful when removing the back panel as there also two clips on its back where the air ducts lie. If you are quick to remove it you may tear the air ducts which are quite (unreasonably) fragile given the fact they are plastic. I was unfortunate and I broke two of them so I had to use some duct tape as a minor gap would be visible between the back panel and the plastically covered air ducts. Other than that, it’s a pain to remove the back panel but not as difficult as it sounds.
