beware not to lift the connector to close of the angle, as the picture suggest it. It might broke the angle. Attack by the middle.

Not necessary?

Be careful of the corner of the battery cable connector when trying to pry it off with the spudge. I knocked the corner of mine. No operational impact but was not very pleasing!

Not necessary, but a good idea, so as to avoid any spurious charges going through the boards...

@Svenaustx - What could happen if not removing this battery? Worst case? Not a geek on this but did change RAM on my Macbook Pro "15. Can't remember disconneting the battery back then. Shouldn't it be sufficient shutting the Mac off and ensure it has been used for an hour or so before replacing RAM?
