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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisconnect the battery and remove any brackets or cable covers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply your adhesive remover (acetone-based battery adhesive remover or high-strength isopropyl alcohol, \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSold Seperately\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e) around the edge of the cell and let it wick under the pouch for a few minutes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlide the blade under the corner of the cell, keeping it flat against the top case.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift gently and progressively — re-apply solvent and give it time rather than forcing the cell up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepeat cell by cell until the pack is free.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy plastic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-conductive\u003c\/strong\u003e — no risk of shorting the cell, if you slip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSofter than aluminum\u003c\/strong\u003e — won't scratch, dent or gouge the anodized top case.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo spark risk\u003c\/strong\u003e against a lithium pouch cell, unlike a metal blade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide, tapered flat blade for even lifting pressure under battery cells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComfortable contoured handle with good grip for controlled, slow lifting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHang hole for bench or pegboard storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for use with battery adhesive removers and solvents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso useful for lifting glued-down flex cables, foam pads, sticker residue and adhesive strips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAlso good for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScraping 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macfixit Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45994303553619,"sku":"BATPRYTOOL","price":2.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0549\/4875\/7587\/files\/HTB15h5iSpXXXXcAapXXq6xXFXXXv.jpg_960x960q75.jpg_-squared.png?v=1787035823","url":"https:\/\/www.macfixit.com.au\/products\/plastic-pry-tool-adhesive-scraper-for-glued-macbook-pro-batteries","provider":"Macfixit Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
