Hi guys,
i am planning on replacing my optical drive with an optibay solution with extra hard-drive. Ifixit has manuals for replacing the hard drive and for removing the optical drive. Both manuals include removing the battery, using tri-wing screwdrivers;

However the movie below shows it could be done without removing the battery.

As I can't find the correct tri-wing screwdriver, I thought checking with you guys whether it is essential to remove the battery before I can A) replace the optical drive with a caddy, B) remove/switch the hard drive. Can anyone share his experience ? Is removing the battery only a safety precaution ?
Kind regards
