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'.

Now that you have described the entire process in detail, this goes in
the archives
and will help many other folks I would think.

Nice Job.
