Use your fingers to grip the black pull tab and the blue liner on the new stretch release adhesive strip.

Just gripping the blue liner could prematurely separate it from the adhesive.

Peel the adhesive strip off its clear liner to expose the adhesive underneath.

Place the strip on the bottom of the battery, making sure the black pull tab sticks out slightly from the edge of the battery with the cable.

The strip doesn't have to be aligned perfectly, but make sure it covers the entire length of the battery.
