Gents, be very, but very very careful while replacing the batteries.

Have in consideration that:

If you torque the battery and/or make a hole, be ready for a serious fire and very toxic smoke. It it happens, don't try to extinguish with water because water reacts with Lithium and continues fire.
New battery cannot be bigger in size than the replaced one, as they grow in size while charging (remember Samsung Note 8 issue)
