Take care not to puncture or bend the battery during the removal procedure—a punctured or bent battery may leak dangerous chemicals or cause a thermal event. In case you're struggling to pull up the battery, apply more isopropyl alcohol and try again.

Apply 1-2 drops of high concentration (over 90%) isopropyl alcohol to the gaps surrounding the battery's perimeter.

Only apply a few drops initially and apply more if necessary; too much isopropyl alcohol might overflow onto the motherboard and daughterboard or damage the display
