While you can replace the battery on Lenovo Yoga 7i (2022), we do not suggest you do so.
The Lenovo Yoga 7i (2022) has solid battery life—up to 7 hours when we reviewed it—but what if you need to replace the battery? Maybe you’re not getting as long a battery life as you hoped? Long ago, swapping batteries on a Lenovo laptop was as simple as pulling out a tab and removing the battery from the bottom of the laptop. Unfortunately, that’s not the case with the Yoga 7i. While you can technically (and fortunately) replace the battery, it’s a long, complicated process and not for the novice user.
However, if you are the technical type with experience in repairing laptops, you can replace the battery in a few steps. You’ll have to remove the laptop’s bottom casing, disconnect some cables, and move on. Lenovo has a technical guide for how to do this for both 14-inch Lenovo Yoga 7i and the 16-inch Lenovo Yoga 7i. The instructions start on page 34 of the download PDF and on page 28 if you choose to print the full manual.
