If you removed all three stretch release adhesive strips, congratulations! Lift and remove the battery.

If one or more adhesive strips broke, skip to the next step to remove them with isopropyl alcohol.

To install a new battery:

Clean your frame with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free or microfiber cloth. Wait for the alcohol to fully evaporate before installing the new battery.

Before applying adhesive, place it in its recess to check if it fits and that the cable reaches its socket on the logic board. Don't reconnect the battery yet.

If your new battery doesn't have adhesive installed, follow this guide to apply new stretch release adhesive strips, or use thin, double-sided tape to secure it. We recommend using stretch release adhesive for easier removal.
