If you're reusing your screen, remove any remaining adhesive residue and use isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth to clean the frame.
Scrape away any leftover waterproofing coating from around where the battery was located.

Use your hands to grip the black pull tab and the blue liner on the new stretch release adhesive strip.
Just gripping the blue liner could prematurely separate it from the adhesive.
Peel the adhesive strip off its clear liner to expose the adhesive underneath.
Place the strip on the bottom of the battery, making sure the black pull tab sticks out slightly from the edge of the battery with the cable.
The strip doesn't have to be aligned perfectly, but make sure its covers the entire length of the battery.

Be careful with this step, as it's easy to stick the battery in the wrong spot. Take your time and work slowly.
While holding the battery over its spot in the frame, temporarily reconnect the battery cable to ensure the battery gets aligned properly.
Place the battery into its spot in the frame and press down to adhere it.
If you have more internal reassembly remaining (like reconnecting other cables) disconnect the battery. Otherwise, you can keep the battery connected.
Return to the original guide and continue reassembly, skipping steps you did for this procedure.
