Removing a Leaky battery on Turbo A500 512kB trapboard expansion board

Hi.

I need help removing the battery from a Turbo 512kb ram trapdoor RAM expansion board.

So I desolder both the +/- leads, then how do I get about getting past the HotGlue that was used to hold the battery on? Do I just tear of the battery?

Soldering is not my strong point, but it's a easy project.

Thanks in advance

just melt that glue with soldering iron and battery will snap off, if its already desoldered.

fastest and easiest method is imo:

cut battery contacts with sharp pliers
heat the glue and remove battery
carefully desolder remains of battery contacts
suck all solder with solderwick
place a new battery, preferably lithium one with diode hack


and ive replaced many of them... a500 mem expansion is easiest to do
