USB-C ports and MagSafe port have separate guides; battery removal involves an adhered cell and a cable under the logic board.

What to check before buying

Replacement parts: Battery, USB-C port and MagSafe port each have replacement guides.
Repair documentation: iFixit describes an adhered battery with a cable routed beneath the logic board.
Battery access: The battery cable runs under the logic board.

Battery

iFixit describes an adhered battery with a cable routed beneath the logic board. Replacing it involves more than lifting a bottom-cover module.

Charging ports

USB-C and MagSafe charging connectors have different guides. A single damaged USB-C socket need not be treated as a MagSafe failure.
