Recommendations for Apple Watch battery adhesive

I am going to be replacing an Apple Watch battery and I need to know whether or not I need to re-adhere the new battery. If so, any recommendations of the the kind of adhesive? The new battery will not have adhesive.

You don’t want too large a piece of Tesa 61395 Tape (4 mm) is what I used. Whats important here is just enough so the battery does not shift.

Any 3M Adhesive would do the trick. You would preferably want to use a slim variant to ensure the battery and screen can fit properly.
