Removing battery from A2000?

[scuzzb494]

Ive been told a few times that you should remove the battery from a 2000 motherboard as it may leak and cause damage.

So here's the noob question:

How do I identify the battery and how do I safely remove it?

It is the empty slot in these images BT800.... I have removed so many batteries and all I do is gently rock it side to side until it snaps off. But do at your own risk. Others will tell you to desolder etc to remove it. But if the battery is leaking I just like to get it off. The A3000 is the only one I would actually remove by desoldering. The A2000 is just so simple.
