| [* black] Peel up the black pull tab at the top of the battery, and pull slowly but firmly to separate the battery from the adhesive holding it in place. | |
| [* icon_note] The battery separates more easily if you add a few drops of isopropyl alcohol along each side, to soften the adhesive beneath. High concentration (90% or greater) alcohol will not harm your phone's components. | |
| [* icon_note] Heating the area behind the battery can also help soften the adhesive, but be very careful not to overheat the battery. | |
| [* black] If the pull tab breaks, use a spudger or an old credit card to pry up carefully on the edges of the battery until it comes loose. | |
| [* icon_caution] Don't deform or puncture the battery—it can catch fire and/or explode if damaged. | |
| + | [* icon_caution] Never reinstall a damaged or deformed battery. Replace the battery. |
