Grip the entire length of the strip's pull tab and pull it slowly, evenly, and at a low angle out from underneath the battery cell. Twist your tool to wrap the strip around itself as you pull.

Give the strip plenty of time to stretch. Avoid dragging it over the speakers as you pull.

If you're using your fingers to remove the strip, re-grip it often to avoid it stretching unevenly and tearing.

Repeat the last two steps for the other seven strips.

If a strip breaks off, try to retrieve it from under the battery. If you can't retrieve it, read on to the next step for an alternate method to remove the battery.
