I have a new XPS-15. There are lots of places Dell marketing says various bits aren't "user replaceable", and that includes the battery.
The first thing I did after getting the thing was to remove the back. I've pulled apart every Dell laptop I've owned for various reasons. This was *by far* the easiest to disassemble. You only have to remove screws on the back that are easy to find.
Once you do remove the back you are confronted with a sticker on the non-user replaceable battery. It says quote: "Please Disconnect and Remove Battery before Accessing The Rest Parts and Devices".
