Awesome, very user friendly instructions. Was not looking forward to taking to computer repair store to replace internal battery. Thank you so much for these instructions.

The new battery replacement does not come with a cable to attach to the motherboard. How can I use the cable from the old battery?

I have this same question^. Can I reuse the cable from the old battery?
