hey guys I'm Brett with iFixit and today
I'm going to show you how to use our new
MacBook Pro Retina battery fix kit this
is a late 2013 13 inch MacBook Pro
Retina but the process of removing the
battery is similar across the entire
retina MacBook Pro line just make sure
you follow the step by step guide for
your specific machine when it's time to
do your repair and you won't have any
issues the adhesive remover we're going
to use contains acetone which is a mild
skin and eye irritant
so take some precautions the kit comes
with safety glasses and gloves so make
sure you put those on before you begin
especially if you wear contact lenses
start prop up your computer at a slight
angle 15 to 20 degrees so the solution
flows underneath the cell you're working
on then apply a small amount of adhesive
remover about one to two milliliters
underneath the battery cell and wait 2
to 3 minutes for it to penetrate and
soften the adhesive make sure to use
caution when applying the solution not
only can the solution dissolve the
adhesive used to secure the battery but
it can also dissolve plastic so use
small amounts and be patient once the
adhesive has been softened slide a
plastic card about an inch between the
battery cell and the upper case and
slowly pride the cell up to separate all
of the adhesive with the first cell free
wipe up any residual solution or
adhesive residue and repeat the process
on the remaining cells until your
battery is completely free
