Battery Replacement Instructions Question

I have ordered the 46mm battery, the magnetic project mat, and essential electronics toolkit to replace the battery in my Samsung Galaxy Watch. My question though is about the instructions in the conclusion section of the ifixit replacement instructions. In the conclusion, it says to "secure the new battery with pre-cut adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape". How critical is that? Also does the battery or the kit come with any adhesive strips?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

A lot of battery for cellphones come with the tape preinstalled, I cannot say for sure if you will have tape on yours as it depends where you bought it. IT IS important that the battery remains in place and doesn't, not adhering the battery to the watch will make it wiggle everytime you move your wrist, that can very well damage the battery and make it easily swell, and the cable that connects the battery might rip also. You don't need to bathe the battery in glue or anything, but you do not want it to move around either.

Hope this helps.
