The battery is secured to the rear case with four pieces of stretch-release adhesive—two on the bottom edge of the battery, and two on the top edge.

Each piece of adhesive has a black pull-tab at the end, which is lightly adhered to the edge of the battery.

In the following steps, you'll pull each tab to slowly stretch out the adhesive underneath the battery. These "command-strip" style adhesives lose their stick when stretched, so you can remove the battery with ease.

If the strips break, don't panic! They don't always work as intended. Keep reading for tips on removing broken strips.
