    • Using a combination of plastic opening tool and spudger, press in on the clips on the sides of the battery connector and push the connector out

    • When you get the connector out far enough, grab behind the connector tabs with tweezers and wiggle the connector the rest of the way out.

    • The battery connector is very tight fitting, you may need to use a metal spudger in order to get the connector out far enough.
