      • Use the T5 Torx Screwdriver to remove both 2.5 mm screws from the battery cable.

      • Use the Spudger to unstick the battery.

      • It's difficult to remove the battery without a pry tool like the spudger because of the strong adhesive. If you try removing it with just your fingers, the battery may bend.
