I would stay away from epoxy’s or glues as they will make future repairs harder. I use the Command tapes to hold batteries in MacBook systems and haven’t has a problem.

With iPads the battery suppler I use pre-tapes the battery and I just use what they supply.
I have encountered issues when the old glue was not fully removed. And the solvent you use maybe your undoing! I use a Citrus oil based adhesive remover to get the last bits off the case, I then wipe the surface down with reagent grade 90% isopropyl alcohol using a lint free wipe. I go through three wipes repeatedly as the Citrus remover does take a good effort to clean off and the quality of the alcohol can bite you as when it evaporates can leave a film which interferes with the adhesion of the tapes.
