I have a Dell Precision 3571 that's about 4 years old, and the battery barely lasts over an hour, which isn't ideal for my long engineering classes. I've built my own gaming PC but haven't opened a laptop before. How difficult is it to replace the battery myself? Would it be better to hire someone to do it instead?

It's not too tricky if you know your way around a screwdriver! The bottom panel of your laptop should pop off, and you'll spot the battery right there. Just make sure to check out some guides or videos to avoid any unnecessary mistakes.
Plus, if you need the replacement battery, iFixit has good options. Just use the model number to find the right one!
Honestly, replacing the battery is usually pretty simple. A quick YouTube search will show you exactly what to do for your model. Most people find it straightforward, especially if you're already familiar with building PCs.

Yeah, definitely look for videos. They really help in showing the steps you need to follow!
