Emboldened by our trackpad success, we tackle the battery next.

Our confidence is quickly crushed by tenacious adhesive. Bring on the frustration and flashbacks.

Good thing we're armed to deal with tacky-battery warfare at iFixit. We charge into battle with heat and plastic cards.

Also a good thing, with the trackpad out first we're finally able to pry at that super-annoying center cell, a common source of repair annoyance.

Through perseverance we liberate the battery. Let us continue the good fight!
