Step 2:
Use the Heat Gun/Hair Dryer to heat up one edge of the S6 Edge, and apply the Suction Cup to pull up the glass a little bit, then insert the thin Case Open Tool to open the battery door.(Photos via ifixit)
Step 3:
Undo the screws around the middle plate, unlike the S6, there’s no adhesive in between the middle plate and the screen assembly, what you need to do is just to pop it up with the help of a Suction Cup and a Case Open Tool.(Photos via ifixit)
Step 4:
Pop up all the connectors to release the motherboard.(Photos via ifixit)
Step 5:
Use the Case Opening Tool to pry up the battery (the battery is also adhered to the AMOLED screen, so watch out!)

After these 5 steps, you can install the new battery in then reassemble all the other parts.
