    • If this is the original battery, it might be hold down by VERY strong adhesive on the top, middle and bottom part. Be careful not to damage the battery

    • As pointed in the comments, be careful about the NFC membrane when removing the battery. Use heat to loosen the glue.

Good guide, but one caveat - when removing the battery, the adhesive is pretty much directly attached to the NFC "plate" (a flexible square membrane with a pair of contacts on the bottom left side of the battery). If you try to extract the battery, you will have difficulty not destroying this membrane. Do not use a wedge - you must slowly remove the battery, preferably using a heat gun to loosen the glue.

Or get a battery already glued into a back plate.
