(Sorry to butt into somebody else's topic, but once a 500+ battery starts going hairy, is there any way to replace it, or should I just take it out (and how would I best go about doing that?)?
Remove the battery by pinching it off with pliers/cable cutters (or use the "domestic" method mentioned above). Keep the old one for reference so you can get a new one from your local electronics chain. Keep in mind that the replacement battery must be solder mounted (so get one with soldering legs), and don't warm it too long when mounting it, since it may explode if overheated.
