Removing the battery

Be very careful during this step. Use a flat, blunt tool like the iPlastix to avoid damaging the battery.

The battery glue is very strong, so you should use hot air again. The battery is glued around the outer edges but not at the center. Never heat the battery directly and don't bend it.

Watch the video (playbutton in the upper right corner of the first picture) to see the release of the battery.

1. Apply the hot air from the display side.
2. We recommend running a flat tool, such as the iFlex, all around the battery.
3. If the iPlastix is not strong enough, you can also use a wide battery spudger.
4. Slide a flat tool under the battery to gradually loosen the adhesive.
5. Lift up the battery and remove it from the device.
