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.

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

You can optionally wrap the pull-tabs around a spudger to make it easier to pull out the adhesive strip.

Repeat the process for the remaining stretch release adhesive strips.

If the adhesive breaks off underneath the battery and can't be retrieved, continue with the next step.
