Did work for me, many thanks. Only two small remarks.

a) Why remove the battery? I was installing a SSD in addition to the built in one (the hdd place was still empty). Attaching the hdd cable is possible without battery removal.

b) Disonnecting the battery showed to be a bit tricky. Pulling the cable is out of question, and pulling at the label part looked also not advisable. One-sided prying…not so good. Pushing the connector in the plane of the battery - need to be very careful, slipping may mean impulse force to the cable. I used careful two sided prying into the small spaces left and right of the connector.
