Take care not to puncture or bend the battery with your tool—a punctured or bent battery may leak dangerous chemicals or cause a fire. In case you're struggling to pull up the battery, apply more isopropyl alcohol and try again.

Apply a few drops of high concentration (over 90%) isopropyl alcohol to the gaps surrounding the battery's right edge.

Wait between one to two minutes for the adhesive to loosen.

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