Hello,

This is my first post.  Thank you for the great information as my battery also failed.  I followed the steps outlined and it was a 30 minute job.  I will share pics of some the tools I used.  Great recommendation on a wood chisel to remove the small cap.  I had to remove both ends as it was easier to push the battery through the case.  I only pushed it a bit.

I would advise anyone trying to take their time and don't rush it.  I cut a small portion near the fuse, then used my finger to manually rip some of the blue tape off.  I wanted to avoid cutting the ribbon.
