Don't stress the 'slow' charging (your battery sure doesn't)

I'm about to tackle that with my Nexus 6P...got a replacement OEM battery, have alot of the iFixit tools (when I swapped the battery from my Nexus 5 awhile back). Been waiting for a good time to work on it. The part that I worry about is if I can take it apart without damaging the casing or display along the way.
If you don't have a chisel-shaped blade for your Xacto knife, get one. The regular triangular blades are a PITA, especially when trying to pry off the glass camera cover. And if you want to reduce your own stress level further, buy a replacement glass camera cover, and you won't have to fuss and fret with getting that thing off at all. You can just let it crack and scrape it out.

Thanks for the tips! I didn't know there's a chisel blade, so I'll look for that for my Xacto. I'll need to order that cover, but since I do have the P2XL now, I can be a bit more methodical in swapping it out.
