Be very careful not to bend, crease, or puncture the battery during the next few steps. A damaged battery can leak dangerous chemicals and catch fire.

Peel the battery pull tab away from the battery, towards the left edge of the phone.

If you're having trouble getting the pull tab up, use and opening pick or other thin plastic tool at a low angle to peel up a corner. Never use a metal tool on battery, and never press into the battery.
