Yes—most ASUS laptops can have their batteries replaced. Some models use an external clip-in pack (tool-free), while many modern models use an internal battery secured with screws and a cable. Below are compatible ASUS replacements you can order, plus a practical guide to check compatibility and do the job safely.
Browse all ASUS batteries. Search by laptop model (e.g., “X550A”, “TUF FX505”) or by the code printed on your old pack (e.g., “A41-X550A”, “B21N1329”, “C31N1912”).
Which ASUS Batteries Are Replaceable?
- External/clip-in batteries: Older ASUS laptops often use a removable pack that slides and locks—no tools needed. Replacement is trivial.
- Internal batteries (most modern models): The battery sits inside the chassis. You’ll remove the bottom cover, disconnect the battery cable, and swap the pack. It’s a moderate DIY job with the right screwdriver and care.
If your laptop powers on and works well aside from short runtime or sudden shutdowns, a replacement battery is almost always feasible and cost-effective.
How to Identify the Correct Battery
- By laptop model: Check the label on the bottom cover or in System Information (e.g., “X550A”, “Vivobook 14”, “TUF FX505”).
- By battery code: Open the back (if comfortable) or search your old order/repair docs for a code like A41-X550A, B21N1329, C31N1912.
- Match voltage & connector: Your replacement must match the voltage and connector style of the original.
🔎 Browse all ASUS batteries — then search by model name or part code.
Tools & Time Required
- Time: 10–30 minutes (external) or 20–60 minutes (internal), depending on model complexity.
- Tools: Small Phillips and/or Torx screwdrivers, plastic spudger or guitar pick, tweezers (optional), anti-static precautions.
- Workspace: Clean, well-lit, non-conductive surface with a small container for screws.
Step-by-Step Overview (Internal Batteries)
- Shut down the laptop and unplug the charger.
- Remove bottom screws; gently release clips with a plastic tool.
- Disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard (note routing).
- Unscrew and remove the old battery; avoid bending or puncturing cells.
- Place the new battery, route cables exactly like original, and reconnect.
- Reassemble the bottom cover; power on and verify charging.
- First cycle: charge to 100%, then use down to ~10–20% and recharge. (No repeated deep discharges needed.)
Warranty & Safety Notes
- Warranty: Opening the chassis may affect coverage depending on region and policy. If in doubt, check your warranty terms first.
- Swollen batteries: If the trackpad is raised or the case is bulging, stop using and replace immediately—do not charge or compress a swollen pack.
- Recycling: Dispose of the old battery via an e-waste facility; never put lithium cells in household waste.
DIY vs. Professional Service
If you’re uncomfortable opening electronics, hire a technician. Labor is usually modest compared to the price of a new laptop, and you still gain the benefits of a fresh battery.
FAQ
Can I upgrade to a higher-capacity battery?
Only if a higher-Wh variant exists for your exact model and the chassis has space. Always match voltage and connector; capacity (Wh) can vary when a compatible option is available.
How do I know my battery actually needs replacing?
Run powercfg /batteryreport (Windows) and compare Full Charge Capacity vs. Design Capacity. If wear is >25–30% or you see early shutdowns, swelling, or unusable runtime, it’s time to replace.
Will a new battery fix performance issues?
It can prevent surprise shutdowns and power-related throttling on battery, but it won’t fix unrelated issues like a failing SSD or insufficient RAM.
Where can I buy a compatible ASUS battery?
Use your laptop model or the code on the old pack to find a match here: ASUS battery listings. Popular options include B21N1329 (30Wh), A41-X550A (44Wh), and C31N1912 (42Wh).
Bottom Line
Yes—ASUS laptop batteries are replaceable. If your system still meets your needs, swapping in a compatible pack is an easy, budget-friendly way to restore reliable unplugged time.
