Chosen Solution
The adhesive strips snapped immediately. Had to use a hairdryer and try wedging a card under to remove the battery. This is the result. Does it need replacing?
If the battery is bulging or swollen in any particular spots . if its cover is open or torn or if its creased at all you should change it out and defiantly change it out if its leaking at all. I cant tell from the pictures if any of these conditions apply but in the shape its in now it will be very difficult to get it back into the phone . Hope this helps
With the battery bent like it is I would 100% put a new battery in now just to be safe.
