I bought my Moto G 5G 2022 directly. After about 18 months, the battery went bonkers. I decided to replace the phone as I didn't want to rely on my skills of replacing the battery without breaking the phone. But once the new phone was set up, there was no point in not giving this a whirl.Even with my big hands and mediocre dexterity I was able to replace the battery. There are many videos available of dissembling the phone. They help. There was a nice site with step by step instructions on replacing the battery. I was my main go to. Search for "moto g 5g 2022 battery replacement".If you try this as an amateur, go slow. I set out a mat and did it while I watched a hockey game. No rushing. The slow speed is particularly crucial on the battery. It is glued in tight. It probably took me 30 minutes of slowing pushing the guitar pick in under the battery. Once it's out, the rest is easy.After assembly, the phone fired right up. It seems to be holding a charge well. Now I have to decide what to do with it.The instructions in my package did not match my phone and the included screw driver did not fit the screws in my phone. Buyer beware on that front.I'll update if I notice anything unusual.

I followed the instructions and still fried my screen. T-5 screwdriver provided did NOT fit the screw in the phone, had to run to the store to buy a smaller one. If you are going to change your battery, buy some T-7000 glue, buy a T-4 Torx bit scewdriver. I will say my battery does last WAY longer than it used to so, all is well. Good luck!

This kit did the job on my Moto Z4 and after a full charge to 100%, back to 2 solid days of battery.....it's been a long time since I was able to claim that on my phoneTook all but 15 minutes to remove the screen and replace the battery.The only issue I had was the small torx screwdriver did not work to remove the screw on the battery connector clamp. I had to use my own tool.I will now be keeping my Z4 a few more years, until 4G is no longer supported, and will replace my battery every year now with this kit.If you do this, and do NOT change the screen, have screen adhesive on hand.

Very good quality tools provided and everything you need to get your phone working again.Be careful, there is a tiny capacitor located near the connector for the power that you don't want to accidentally break off. Doing so will break the antenna connection for services.

This battery is still working great. After installing it, it's still going strong. A month so far and strong as when I installed it.

So, after some initial headaches, phone is working and this new battery is great. The old battery was losing charge fast and sometimes suddenly without warning. This one charges up good and lasts much longer than the old one has for a long time. HOWEVER...The instructions could use some improvement. During the install, I fried the screen. Looking online I found that removing or inserting the ribbon cable for the screen while the battery is still connected can fry your screen. The instructions don't go into detail on this, but if you follow them as written, it's most likely you will have two steps where you might unintentionally damage your screen. SO MAKE SURE TO DISCONNECT THE OLD BATTERY CABLE BEFORE REMOVING THE SCREEN CABLE, THEN AFTER THE NEW BATTERY IS IN PLACE, RECONNECT THE SCREEN CABLE BEFORE CONNECTING THE NEW BATTERY CABLE. This isn't even covered in a lot of the Youtube videos out there.An alternative is just leave the screen connected through the whole process, but then it gets awkward working with it and you risk damaging the screen cable itself. So unless you're really careful and/or have a shop set up that will hold everything in place good, I wouldn't recommend that.Also, lesser complaint - a T5 screwdriver was included and the screw for the connection cover required a T4. I saw someone else had the same complaint. Maybe some versions of the Z4 had a T5? If so, maybe include both in the kit? Luckily, I already had a precision screwdriver set.
