Take care not to puncture or bend the battery with your tool—a punctured or bent battery may leak dangerous chemicals or cause a thermal event.

Carefully, with a pry pick, pry under the battery to cut the adhesive underneath it.

If you are having trouble, apply a heated iOpener onto the battery for another minute, then try again.

You can also apply a few drops of high concentration isopropyl alcohol to the edges of the battery to help soften the adhesive.
