Title
MacBook Pro 13" Retina Display Late 2012 Battery Replacement
Introduction
This guide contains instructions for using the old-style iFixit adhesive remover with separate bottle and syringe, which is no longer sold. [https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Retina+Display+Late+2012+Battery+Replacement/13076|For the updated version, click here].
Use this guide to safely remove the glued-in battery from your MacBook Pro with the help of an iFixit battery replacement kit. The adhesive remover in your kit will dissolve the adhesive securing the battery, allowing you to remove it with ease. The battery is made up of six distinct cells, four of which are adhered to the upper case.
'''iFixit adhesive remover is highly flammable.''' Perform this procedure in a well-ventilated area. Do not smoke or work near an open flame during this procedure.
'''For your safety, drain your MacBook Pro's battery before you begin this procedure.''' A charged lithium-ion battery can create a dangerous and uncontrollable fire if accidentally punctured.
'''Note''': The solvent used to dissolve the battery adhesive can damage certain plastics, such as the MacBook Pro's plastic speaker enclosures. Take care when applying the solvent.
