I did it in a nova 1. It was simple. There is a video around, but I can't find it now.

The battery I ordered came with the tools needed to open the case. It's like a guitar pick. You slide it around the seam to loosen the case. As I say, there is a video...

Found it:

You must unsolder the existing battery connections to the mobo, then solder the new battery connections to the same points. You do not need fresh solder. Simply heat the leftover solder that is on the mobo points, and connect the wires.

Take photos of everything prior to removing the old battery as a guide.
