It can probably work but the batteries are different shapes so it will only work if you hold it in place somehow all the time

3DS systems won't turn on if the battery is missing or completely dead (can't be charged or hold a charge).

When you plug in the AC charger, does the o3DSXL momentarily lights up the orange charging LED indicator for like 5 seconds and then turns off the light? If it does that, that means the o3DSXL itself might not be dead.

Here are options in buying small screwdrivers. Because the back plate on the o3DSXL is particularly small, I recommend getting both 'PH00' and 'PH000' sizes.
Screws that are hard to remove could be held down in tension due to [ bulging / swollen / ballooned / puffed up / expanded / inflated ] battery pushing against the cover. If you find out the battery is like this condition, dispose of it immediately.

Read this about the dangers of using and keeping a bloated li-ion battery. Substitute Australia for Lithuania.

Check my signature about buying a replacement (o/n)3DSXL's SPR-003 battery. For those who live in Europe and because of Nintendo of Europe refusal to sell replacement 3DS batteries, get an aftermarket from of these brands: Cellonic, Cameron Sino, CellePhone.

Check around on eBay, Amazon, and Aliexpress to name a few places. Here's one search result from eBay that ships in the Baltic region.

Learn how to look out for shitty generics or 'too good to be true' battery.

Replace the o3DSXL motherboard.
If you don't wish to repair the o3DSXL, sell it for spare parts and use that money to get another (2/3)DS.
  • Got €€€ to spent? Buy a n3DSXL.
  • Don't have much? Get the o2DS.

Find someone who has a working o3DSXL, n3DSXL, o2DS, or o3DS and borrow their battery to test on your o3DSXL.
