Title
iPad Pro 12.9" Battery Replacement
Introduction
This guide shows how to remove and replace a worn out battery for the iPad Pro 12.9”. You’ll need to move the logic board out of the way in order to remove the battery.
This iPad uses both stretch-release and normal adhesives to hold the battery in place. Use plenty of high concentration isopropyl alcohol or iFixit adhesive remover to help remove the battery and to clean any adhesive residue.
***For your safety, discharge your battery below 25% before disassembling your device.*** This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, [[What to do with a swollen battery|take appropriate precautions|new_window=true]].
