As you pry the battery, take care not to puncture or bend the battery with your tool—a punctured or bent battery may leak dangerous chemicals or cause a thermal event.

Insert a plastic card under the top of the left battery cell.

Slide the plastic card as far as you can under the battery to cut the adhesive.

If the adhesive becomes difficult to cut through, apply a few more drops of adhesive remover to the crevice, wait a minute, and try again.

Leave the plastic card inserted.
