Easy but beware of battery pull-tab adhesive

My battery was not working well and phone was slow.

I could probably do it in under a half hour and rate it easy if it weren’t for the pull-tabs. The first one worked, and the second broke halfway through. That took an extra 15 minutes to push the adhesive into a place I could grab it to complete the repair. The replacement battery is perfect and SOOOO much better than the 3-year-old one; the phone works like new! Time will tell for how long it lasts but so far so good.

Be care with the pull tabs.

If you pry up the battery a bit you can pull out the adhesive strips from the edge of the battery, between the frame and the battery. I tip is to heat the back side on the phone with a heat gun, soft strips do not snaps off that easy.
