Introdução
This guide shows how to open the Motorola Moto Z in order to replace an old or dead battery.
Before you begin, download the Rescue and Smart Assistant app to backup your device and diagnose whether your problem is software or hardware related.
The display assembly is extremely fragile and has no reinforcement. There is a significant chance that you may break the screen. Work slowly and methodically when handling the display assembly.
Before you begin, discharge your battery below 25%. A charged lithium-ion battery can catch fire and/or explode if accidentally punctured.
If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

Kindly link me to the suitable adhesive tape for sticking back the screen…
Thank you
Hi Anwesh,
You can use Tesa tape for that purpose.
I have a Moto Z Droid from Verizon. You have instruction for the Moto Z and Moto Z Droid Force. Battery replacement on the Droid Force is much easier. How do I know which one I have?
Hi Budbradley,
According to Phonearena, it looks like one easy way to tell is the rear camera:
The Z has a 13MP camera, while the Z Force Droid has a 21MP rear camera.
The built-in internal storage are also different:
The Z has 32GB while the Z Force Droid has 64GB.
Hopefully you can check your specs with those and figure out which version you have.
The hardest step in this guide is when you remove adhesive glue behind the LCD panel.
Second is clean residue glue [For this i use lint-free cloth soak with alcohol and rub on glue]
One more note - Moto original battery is su..k. Mine is degrade in 6 moths.
