      • The first photo shows a metal spudger. Use a plastic spudger instead to avoid damaging the battery.

      • The battery is still connected to the speaker. Do not pull on the cable or attempt to remove the battery completely.

      • Use the flat end of a plastic spudger to gently lift the end of the battery opposite the cable. Lift it only far enough to access the screw underneath. Do not bend the battery or strain its cable.

      • Use a Phillips #2 screwdriver to remove the 16 mm screw beneath the battery.
