    • Remove the single 1 x 3.0 mm screw holding the battery in using the JIS #00 screwdriver.

    The replacement batteries probably come without the new NFC sticker, so you’ll have to transfer it from the original one to the replacement. This can be easily done with an iPlastix and a good amount of isopropyl alcohol. Do this carefully.

NFC Antenna. You should carefully transplant it to new battery, in case your new battery is without one (what is the case for most 3rd party batteries available)
