Re: 515 Cache Battery - Source and replacement

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just an additional hint for getting those nuclear war secured batteries 
off the cards.

I have found that a channel lock type of pliers (a vise-grip type can 
also work) that opens  and a small square or hex bar such as the 
standoff used to hold the motherboard of a PC are very handy.  Place the 
metal piece directly over the portion of the plastic clip that need to 
be pressed to remove the battery. Now grip the entire plastic clip 
across all three batteries making sure the metal bit takes the pressure 
on that side. This forces the clip back and the battery can 'Easily' be 
extracted. Reverse the procedure to re-attach the battery.

Why that clip is such unbelievably stiff plastic escapes me, but as they 
say, 'It is what it is'.
