Step 8

The adhesive strips at the top of the battery are less likely to rip if you pull them horizontally in a straight line and not upwards or in any other direction.
Use a set of tweezers to unfold the black tab enough to grab with your fingers.
Pull the first adhesive strip in a slow and constant movement.
Jerking or slackening your grip can cause the adhesive to bunch up and rip.

Step 10

Use a spudger to slide under the battery.
If you managed to pull out the adhesive strips you can easily lift out the battery. Otherwise use the iOpener once more to soften any adhesive leftovers. There are no cables under the battery that can be harmed.
Remove the battery.
When reassembling your phone, replace old adhesive with stretch release adhesive strips, double-sided tape, or pre-cut adhesive strips.
