This is a remix of the original backplate by LtChipotle_242586, modified to fit a thicker 81Wh battery without putting pressure on the shell.

The internal geometry has been reshaped to give the battery extra clearance, keeping everything smooth and solid — no more bulging or flexing around the back panel.

Since the upgraded battery takes up most of the space behind the unit, the kickstand has been removed in this version for a cleaner and sturdier fit. I also changed the vent opening pattern from pills to hexagons, giving it a slightly more technical and aggressive look while keeping airflow performance in mind. 

Changes from the original model: 

  • Added clearance for the 81Wh battery 
  • Removed kickstand for better compatibility 
  • Switched vent pattern to hexagons 
  • Retains original mounting points

I also made a matching battery cover based on this NVMe Battery Cover by myalteredsou_1796048.

In this version, 

  • Removed the NVMe slot/support
  • Made it as thin as possible to better fit the 81Wh battery

It’s a not required addon, but it pairs nicely with this backplate for anyone upgrading their Legion Go with the larger battery setup. Big thanks to the original creators for sharing their source files — this remix just tweaks both parts for those going all-in on capacity and clean design.
