    • Grip the white battery connector and pull it directly out of its motherboard socket.

    • This may require some force, as the connectors are secured with a bit of adhesive. If you're having trouble with disconnection, apply some high-concentration isopropyl alcohol to the adhesive to loosen it.

    • Do not pull on the wires.
