Pull out the old battery

This is the tricky part! Be careful not to puncture or bend the battery! The procedure followed here is actually not recommended, as you can see the battery is deformed after removal, which is dangerous. See this comment for an alternative procedure. In particular, I like the idea of using a wire (or dental floss) to cut off the battery from the back panel.
You can start prying out the old battery by picking at a corner if there's a flat piece of plastic without any battery stuff under it, as in the picture.
When the battery is about this removed, you may be able to just pull it out with your fingers.
