Title
MacBook Pro 13" Two Thunderbolt Ports Late 2020 Battery Replacement
Introduction
Use this guide to safely remove the glued-in battery from your MacBook Pro with the help of an iFixit kit with adhesive remover. The adhesive remover will dissolve the adhesive securing the battery, allowing you to remove it with ease.
Replacing the battery does not require you to remove the logic board, making this procedure significantly easier.
'''To minimize risk of damage, turn on your MacBook and allow the battery to fully discharge before starting this procedure.''' A charged lithium-ion battery can create a dangerous and uncontrollable fire if accidentally punctured. If your battery is swollen, [[What to do with a swollen battery|take extra precautions|new_window=true]].
'''iFixit adhesive remover is flammable.''' Perform this procedure in a well-ventilated area. Do not smoke or work near an open flame during this procedure.
'''Note''': The adhesive remover can damage certain plastics. Follow all instructions and take care where you apply the adhesive remover.
''Some photos in this guide are from a different model and may contain slight visual discrepancies, but they won't affect the guide procedure.''
