There is a way to take it apart without all these steps and a complete tear down.

This is huge overkill. Only the bottom cap and circuit board need to be removed for a battery replacement.

I agree. The battery is located on the bottom end only.

^ the person who says that you only need to remove the one end-cap to replace the battery is correct. The process outlined in this article is more likely to damage all the fabric and other end-cap than just opening one end and gently prying it back until you can slide out the battery. FYI, the pull tab on my battery broke right off, and I had to pull it out with pliers.
