iPad Pro 13" Battery Installation

Use high-concentration isopropyl alcohol (>90%) and a microfiber or lint-free cloth to clean any adhesive residue from the iPad frame.

Reposition the microphone cable so it's entirely outside of the iPad frame.

Peel the clear film off of the battery adhesive.

Align the battery over the iPad, making sure the battery connector is over its socket. The battery should be aligned against the front camera and the speakers closest to the USB-C port.

Lower the battery into the iPad frame.

Use the flat end of a spudger or your finger to connect the battery press connector.

Use a JCIS or JIS 00 screwdriver to install the 1.6 mm‑long screw securing the battery management system cover.

Place a few heavy objects on the protective battery cover. Distribute the weight evenly across the battery.

Leave the items on for an hour to help the adhesive bond to the iPad.

Use a pair of tweezers or your fingers to grip one of the black pull tabs between the protective cover and the battery.

Slowly pull the adhesive out from under the protective cover, keeping it as flat as possible.

Repeat this procedure for the other adhesive strip.

Use your fingers to lift and remove the protective cover.

Peel the blue film off of each battery cell to remove it.

Use your fingers to place the microphone cable across the battery and press it into place.

Use the flat end of a spudger or your finger to connect the microphone press connector.
