Samsung Galaxy S9 Battery Replacement
Introduction
Use this guide to replace the battery in your Samsung Galaxy S9.
Opening the Samsung Galaxy S9 will '''damage the waterproof sealing''' on the device. If you do not replace the adhesive seals, your phone will '''function normally''', but will '''loose its water-protection'''.
'''If your battery is swollen, do not heat your phone'''. Swollen batteries can be very dangerous, so wear eye protection and exercise due caution, or take it to a professional if you're not sure how to proceed.
You’ll need '''replacement adhesive''' to reattach components when reassembling the device.

Conclusion
'''If possible''', turn on your phone and '''test your repair''' before installing new adhesive and resealing the phone.
'''Secure the new battery''' with pre-cut adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape. In order to position it correctly, apply the new adhesive into the phone at the places where the old adhesive was located, not directly onto the battery. Press the new battery firmly into place for 5-10 seconds.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
For optimal performance and to avoid software sided errors, '''calibrate your newly installed battery''': Drain battery below 10%, then charge uninterrupted to 100%.
