i thought the five pieces are connected together

Thanks, replaced 15" 2014 alone in 30 mins. Used tooth floss from a pharmacy combined in 2-3 layers

Anyone that has home automation relays needs to see this video. You just saved me $100's not having to purchase new momentary press switches.

Genius thanks :) I ended up using 'garden wire' but the principle was the same

Thank you so much. This was much easier than disassembling the entire laptop to use the solvent method!

Fishing line would be good also. Nice idea

This is probably the safest & quickest method out there. Just use the new battery's included screwdrivers as handles with the string ends wrapped-tied around them and you're good to go. Thanks man!

You're a lifesaver thank you!!

Thank you for risking your laptop to make life easier for the rest of us LOL 😂 😂.. Just kidding... Very helpful video indeed especially when iFixit has 100's of steps to do just that ;-)

Er, it would help if we saw the Macbook Pro with the new battery installed up and running and everything working as it should. I assume it was, but . . .

If I remove the battery does the Mac work with the power supply?

yo!! This was genius. I had a similar but slightly thinner cord which I put a small amount of goo gone on and it came off so easily. THANK YOU. My battery pack swelled up and the computer wouldn’t work, I had a ton of unfinished music on there I was devastated to lose. I took the battery out so easily doing this and will just finish the tracks with no battery (plugged in) since I have a newer computer

Wow. Great job.

Great video. Not sure why guys are bothering removing the remaining adhesive -- what's the harm in leaving it there. Also, once I could grasp the far end of each cell with my fingers, I discarded the thread, just using gentle upward pressure to SLOWLY prise it off.

How to install?

You can use a pure-wire guitar string, with each of the ends wrapped around a dowel of wood, to cut through the stickers under the battery blocks. more easily A strong nylon fishing line will work as well. Anything thick like this nylon cord is going to have a tougher time cutting through the adhesive pads, as deomnstrated.

Man, wish I found this video before I spent 20 minutes using a knife to cut through the adhesivee.

This is an excellent tip. Thank you!

this worked really well!

you basically skipped the entire install process

You made things so much harder for yourself by choosing that nylon cord. I just tried the dental floss technique. Yes, it's not a strong as your cord, but it doesn't have to be. I just tied the ends around two old toothbrushes (great cleaning tools anyway; I always keep them around after I replace toothbrushes) slid the floss under the battery and sawed back and forth using just the force of two fingers on each hand. No need for a helper or any huffing and puffing, and no pain in the hands. After all, when you're trying to cut food, you don't just grab a knife and push down on it. It's a lot easier to cut back and forth with the knife.

Just a silly question from a guy who's about to try this because the cell in his Mid--2014 are so swollen up the back cover can't really hold them anymore: why would I want to glue the new battery? I'm not even sure why the original one was glued in the first place! Is it just me?

Kudo's to mom for her help!!! Seriously though, thank you for posting this, its much better than squirting alcohol in the compartment to loosen the glue.

Thanks. Creative!!

Can you do this same modification with a Leviton 5622-2W ?

How do I use this with a Google Nest or home mini?

Does it power on when the battery is disconnected?

Haha use a magnifier see if u can speed it up

Such a simple trick!! Thanks for the tip!

That's a novel use of a UNIQLO Super Mario T-Shirt 😂

Soak the rope in alcohol first 99%

What damper did you use?

I don’t understand. A dishwasher is something you leave on. Every dishwasher I’d seen for 40 years is the kind where you select a cycle with options, press start, and walk away. When it finishes there is nothing to turn off. The switch modification makes perfect sense for an in-sink garbage disposal, but not a dishwasher.

Brilliant!

Awesome! How do you change the bulbs?

Thanks a lot for sharing this and putting it on video. I was going to follow the iFix guide, but didn’t want to as it basically was a full tear down to un glue the batteries. I had been putting it off repair for about a year before I swapped out batteries.

Great work, I will definitely use some of your ideas.👍🏽

Kind of crazy how Apple put batteries in those laptops, incredible.

Awesome, dude. I thought a thin strong thread would be best, but it turned out some braided nylon twine was perfect. I got the old battery out inside of ten minutes, i swear. Clamped the chassis on the edge of my workbench. Use gentle pressure and saw back and forth, don't rush. So much safer than prying up with a spudger. Thank you for the idea!

Absolutely a great presentation and thank you for every small detail that could save a lot of time and frustration

I performed this procedure yesterday. Thank you so much! Removing the leftover adhesive took more time than actually removing the batteries.

Very creative and good idea.

I viewed many of these battery removal videos and removed many batteries, this is by far the best. Why would anyone give it a thumbs down? By the way I have had problems with the cheaper batteries, they don't last a year. Maybe I should have paid for the Apple battery?

clickbait title...

A word of advice: Do your best NOT to touch any of the printed circuitry on the Logic Board. The static electricity stored in your body can blow minuscule holes in the circuitry which you will not see. Your computer will probably work fine but you may have diminished its total life-span considerably without realising. That is why certified technicians must use anti-static procedures and why all printed circuit boards are transported in anti-static bags. It's very sensitive equipment. At the very least you should make sure the battery is completely flat before disconnecting it (to avoid possible fire by piercing a battery cell) and once disconnected, press the power button for approximately 10 seconds to discharge any power left in the system. Cheers.

great video, thx. any idea where I can get a good quality replacement battery for MacBook 15" 2015?

Dental Floss works well.

Shaved 2 hours off my replacement time. Thank You!!!

How do you make the floorplan function work?

wow, 0.28 usd/kWh is incredibly expensive.
