Introduction
If your Asus Chromebook C302CA Flip laptop battery has been experiencing unexpected power outages, charging delays, or dying sooner than expected, this could indicate that your battery needs to be replaced. If that's the case, this guide will walk you through the steps of removing and replacing your laptop battery.
A battery is an energy storage device made up of two or more electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy and are used as a power source. As a result, it is important to take care of your laptop battery because your laptop cannot function without it.
Nonetheless, make sure your laptop is turned off and unplugged from any outlets before you begin removing the components.
It is best if you gather all of your tools in one place before beginning to replace this component. We recommend that you use the iFixit Magnetic Project Mat to keep your screws organized. Choose a location where there will be no children to interrupt you to prevent them from using tools that could harm them.

If anyone has issues with the Chromebook not recognizing the new battery, I saw this posted "Note: If the new battery is not recognized during the initial installation, please reinstall and check if the interface is fully connected. Discharge the new battery to 10-20% (not 0%), then charge and cycle 3-4 times to wake up the new battery. Also, disconnect the old battery and hold down the power button for 20 seconds, then connect the new battery. This drains the residual or flea power and once the laptop is reassembled the battery should function properly."
