Use this guide to safely remove and replace the battery from a Late 2020 MacBook Air (M1).
To minimize risk of damage, turn on your MacBook and allow the battery to fully discharge before starting this procedure. A charged lithium-ion battery can be very dangerous if accidentally punctured. If your battery looks puffy or swollen, take extra precautions.
This procedure involves removing both speakers. You will need new adhesive to properly reinstall the speakers to avoid excess vibrations or rattling.

You’ve gotta be kidding me…
Hard to believe, but true.. this is an improvement from a couple generations ago, when you had to disassemble the entire computer or futz about with isopropyl alcohol and credit cards (or dental floss) to remove swollen but still glued in batteries. If this has you feeling overwhelmed, go look at the 74-step guide for the 2015 15” MacBook Pro Battery Replacement.
I concur with that. Made the fix for a Macbook Pro 13" 2014 some times ago and it looks really more difficult and stressing, especially with potentially destructive steps. I felt a bit lucky that it worked fine after that and since then...
Ok I have the battery out but where do you buy replacement adhesive strips? Everywhere I look they say they are for iphones or generic lcd repair. I had to take the battery out for other reasons and want to put the same battery back in.
Stephen, the linked adhesive is a generic solution & should work just fine. Apple-specific adhesives are sometimes hard to source. You could also cut and adapt stretch-release adhesive strips to fit. Best of luck on your repair!
