Thanks! Very helpful and to the point!

You ARE TECHNICALLY missing one step however, removing the fabric ribbon from the old battery at the end. Yes, it seems like common sense but…

Anyways, thanks.

Thanks for the help, worked well.

Remember the connector needs to be removed from the old battery and re-installed in the new. I used a small slotted screwdriver.
