Couldn't have been easier

My Problem

Battery on iPhone 5 was draining fast and the % was constantly in flux. Basically, it was driving me crazy and I didn't want to get a new phone yet.

My Fix

As I stated in the title... it couldn't have been easier. The iFixit kit and videos were spot on and I was completed and operational within 30 min.

My Advice

I didn't remove the screen completely. I kept it within the 90* threshold and removed the battery with relative ease. I chose not to remove the screen simply because it had three (3) additional connectors to remove, thus adding three additional pieces which could be damaged. I was just mitigating my risk.
