Grip a black pull tab and pull the strip out slowly and steadily at a low angle. Give it plenty of time to stretch and un-stick from under the battery.

You can also wrap an adhesive strip around a spudger and "roll" it for a more consistent pull.

If the adhesive strip breaks off, try to retrieve it using your fingers and continue pulling—but don’t pry under the battery.

If you can't retrieve a strip, don't worry! Remove as much adhesive as possible and skip down two steps for an alternate method.
