I am thinking about doing a keyboard replacement for my MacBook Pro but the battery must be pried off first. Instead of forcing it off, I found the adhesive remover in the store, but I’m hesitant to spend $33 for a solution that is similar to alcohol.
Has anything else worked for anyone?
Is this a good question?

Check out aldon-chem website and search for sds, or google “aldon chem sds”. Chemical name “AA-0051”. The sds says it’s 99.8% acetone, 0.1% Cherry Almond Fragrance and 0.1% FD&C Blue #1 (C.I. No. 42090). It’s all public information.

I started using pure methanol a couple of years before iFixit found a solution.

I am thinking of replacing my macbook pro battery. Hesitant to buy an adhesive remover. But wouldn’t the acetone/nail polish remover damage or erode the old battery and causing problems?? I mean the old battery should be pretty fragile, I suppose..

yeah just go buy acetone lol
Acetone might affect the plastic covering but the actual battery cells are encased in metal. Acetone should be ok but I'd avoid nitric acid.
I replaced a battery just now and tried isopropyl alcohol (100%) on one side and acetone on the other side. I didn't find a lot of difference in how they removed the glue and I can say that both solvents struggled to dissolve it.
