What you need
-
-
Unplug all cables, fully shut down your laptop, and close the lid.
-
-
-
Use a T5 Torx driver to remove the ten 3.8 mm‑long screws securing the back cover.
-
-
-
Apply a suction handle to the middle of the back cover's right edge, between the lower rubber foot and the middle screws.
-
Pull up on the suction handle to create a small gap between the back cover and the frame.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap.
-
-
-
Angle your opening pick upward, away from the frame. Keep it angled upward as long as it's between the back cover and the frame.
-
-
-
-
Slide your opening pick around the bottom right corner of the back cover to free it from the frame.
-
-
-
Slide your opening pick along the front edge and around the front left corner of the back cover to free it from the frame completely.
-
-
-
Remove the back cover.
-
Lay the back cover down on its rubber feet to avoid damaging the thermal pads.
-
-
-
Insert the point of a spudger under the middle of the battery connector's long edge.

Lift and disconnect the battery press connector from its socket on the motherboard.

-
Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the five 4.6 mm‑long screws securing the battery.
-
-
-
Use tweezers to carefully peel up the stretch‑release adhesive's pull tab near the top left corner of the battery, enough that you can grip it with your fingers.
-
Use your fingers to slowly pull the strip out slowly and at a low angle to the frame. Give the adhesive plenty of time to stretch and un‑stick.
-
If the strip breaks, don't worry! Skip to the next step for an alternate way to separate the adhesive.
-
-
-
Insert an opening pick between the frame and the bottom left edge of the battery.
-
Slowly pry the battery up until the adhesive separates.
-
Leave the pick inserted between the battery and frame to prevent the battery from readhering.

Hi, the battery from ifixit is just slightly too wide by the vertical edge, i think due to the protrustions that hold the battery to the laptop. is there a fix for this?
