Plastic Battery Pry Tool — Adhesive Scraper for Glued MacBook Pro Batteries Removing a glued-in MacBook Pro battery is one of the most nerve-racking jobs on the bench. The cells sit in shallow wells on a machined aluminium top case, held down with a strong adhesive strip, and one slip with a metal tool means a gouged chassis, a punctured cell, or worse. This plastic pry tool is made for exactly that job. The broad, tapered blade slips into the gap at the edge of the battery cell and spreads lifting force across the whole width of the pouch, instead of concentrating it on one point the way a metal spudger or screwdriver does. Work it in a few millimetres at a time, let the adhesive remover do the work, and lift slowly and evenly. How to use it Disconnect the battery and remove any brackets or cable covers. Apply your adhesive remover (acetone-based battery adhesive remover or high-strength isopropyl alcohol, Sold Seperately) around the edge of the cell and let it wick under the pouch for a few minutes. Slide the blade under the corner of the cell, keeping it flat against the top case. Lift gently and progressively — re-apply solvent and give it time rather than forcing the cell up. Repeat cell by cell until the pack is free. Why plastic Non-conductive — no risk of shorting the cell, if you slip. Softer than aluminum — won't scratch, dent or gouge the anodized top case. No spark risk against a lithium pouch cell, unlike a metal blade. Features Wide, tapered flat blade for even lifting pressure under battery cells Comfortable contoured handle with good grip for controlled, slow lifting Hang hole for bench or pegboard storage Suitable for use with battery adhesive removers and solvents Also useful for lifting glued-down flex cables, foam pads, sticker residue and adhesive strips Also good for Scraping old adhesive off the top case after the cells are out, removing thermal pad residue, lifting glued-down speaker assemblies, and general adhesive cleanup on MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro repairs. Please note: work in a well-ventilated area when using solvents, never bend, crease or puncture a lithium-ion cell, and replace any battery that shows swelling or damage.
