Einleitung
This guide contains instructions for using the old-style iFixit adhesive remover with separate bottle and syringe, which is no longer sold. For the updated version, click here.
Use this guide to safely remove the glued-in battery from your MacBook Pro with the help of an iFixit battery replacement kit. The adhesive remover in your kit will dissolve the adhesive securing the battery, allowing you to remove it with ease.
iFixit adhesive remover is highly flammable. Perform this procedure in a well-ventilated area. Do not smoke or work near an open flame during this procedure.
For your safety, drain your MacBook Pro's battery before you begin this procedure. A charged lithium-ion battery can create a dangerous and uncontrollable fire if accidentally punctured.
Note: The solvent used to dissolve the battery adhesive will damage your speakers if it comes in contact with the plastic speaker enclosures. This guide instructs you to remove the speakers before proceeding to the battery.

-
-
-
Lift the battery cell to separate it from the MacBook Pro's upper case, but don't try to remove it.

Slide one corner of your plastic card underneath the second battery cell.
-
Push the card underneath the second battery cell, and slide it side to side to separate the adhesive underneath.
-
Leave the plastic card underneath both battery cells (or flip them over) to prevent them from re-adhering as you proceed to the next step.
-
-
-
It's time to switch sides. Remove your book or foam block and place it under the opposite side of your MacBook Pro.
-
Repeat the procedure from the prior steps to separate the two battery cells on this side:
-
Apply your adhesive remover to the elevated edge of the outer battery cell, and wait 2-3 minutes for it to penetrate.
-
Work one corner of a plastic card underneath the battery cell, and slide the card fully underneath the battery cell to separate it.
-
Do the same for the adjacent cell.
-
Leave your plastic card in place or flip the battery cells over to prevent them from re-adhering during the following steps.
-
-
-
With the left edge of your MacBook Pro still propped up, apply a small amount (about 1 ml) of adhesive remover down the center line between the two middle battery cells.
-
Wait 2-3 minutes for the adhesive remover to penetrate before you continue.
-
-
-
Slide one corner of a plastic card between the middle two cells, and under the elevated edge of the center-right battery cell.
-
Slide the card farther underneath the battery cell to slice through the adhesive securing it in place.
-
Don't try to fully separate this battery cell yet. Leave your plastic card in place to prevent it from re-adhering.
-
-
-
Flip the two de-adhered right-hand battery cells over the front edge of the MacBook Pro, if you haven’t already. This will allow access to the outside edge of the center cell.
-
-
-
Push one corner of a plastic card below the plastic battery frame and underneath the remaining adhered edge of the lower center cell.
-
Slide your card all the way under the battery cell, and leave it to prevent the battery cell from re-adhering.
-
-
-
Remove the first plastic card that you inserted under the center-right battery cell.
-
-
-
Remove your book or foam block.
-
With the front edge of the MacBook Pro facing you, lift the right side and prop it up once again.

Don't try to fully separate this battery cell yet. Leave your plastic card in place to prevent it from re-adhering.
-
-
-
Repeat the process you used on the center-right battery cell to finish separating the adhesive on the center-left cell:
-
Lift and flip the two outer battery cells to clear access to the remaining adhered edge of the center-left battery cell.
-
Slide your card all the way underneath the battery cell, and leave it to prevent the battery cell from re-adhering.
-
Remove the first card that you inserted under this battery cell in the previous step.
-
-
-
With one plastic card underneath each of the two center battery cells, twist and lift both cards to fully separate the battery cells, together with the plastic frame and battery board, from the MacBook Pro.
-
-
-
Lift and remove the battery.
-
With a little luck, you can slowly pull out each strip of adhesive with your fingers.
-
Otherwise, soak each strip of adhesive with a bit of adhesive remover for 2-3 minutes, and then scrape it out with a plastic tool. This can take quite a bit of work, so be patient.
-
Mop up any remaining adhesive remover and give your MacBook Pro a few minutes to air dry.
-
Calibrate your battery before using it: allow it to drain overnight, then charge it to 100% and drain it again until your MacBook Pro shuts down automatically. Charge it again and use it normally.
