• Use a plastic card to gently insert under the bottom edge of the battery.
• Slide the card underneath the battery to loosen the adhesive without applying excessive force.
• Continue sliding the card to pry up the battery from the bottom, taking care not to apply too much pressure.

Never reinstall a damaged or deformed battery — potential safety hazard.
