    • Using a plastic opening tool, lift the battery straight upward to remove it.

    • There are a series of eight small wires connecting the battery to the motherboard. Make sure you gently lift the battery straight up to disconnect these wires and prevent damage.

    I would like to know if the connector needs to slide out to the right or if it also needs to pop out the top away from the motherboard?

    The connector lifts straight up. Use a thin flat plastic tool, like the Ifixit opening tool, to gently pry under each end of the connector and it’ll pop off.

Step 4 was misleading. It should have unplugged the cable before lifting the battery. I broke my battery connector off the mobo by following these directions. Lift straight up? That’s silly given how short the battery connection cable is.
