    • The battery is glued in place with two adhesive strips. One with a pull tab and one without.

    • It is likely that the adhesive strip rips. In this case you can grab and twist it around a tweezers tip a couple of times and then continue.

    • Use an iOpener to loosen the remaining adhesive.

Facile comme bonjour. Les outils que j'avais reçu avec la batterie étaient de piètre qualité, j'ai donc utilisé des mini-spatules utilisées pour lisser les joints en silicone, c'est pile la consistance voulue pour décoller le dos et la batterie, ni trop ferme ni trop souple.
