Anyone replaced the A3000 battery?

[Amiduffer]

I've got Lierbags A3000 and it definitely needs a new battery. I seems pretty well attached to the two metal strips. How has anyone else dealt with this? Cut the metal strips? Forcably sepparate the strips from the battery?

Man, I had to RIIIIPPP the battery from the two metal connectors. At least they're still connected to the motherboard.

Neat. I found a replacement battery that's a slight improvement over the leaking one I got rid of.

The old battery was a Varta, and the one I found is from the same company.

If anyone needs one for their Ami, the store had two left.

 :-D Ok, maybe using words like [color=ff0000]RRIIIIIPPP[/color][/b][/i] wasn't quite an accurate way of describing taking a knife and separting the metal "ears" from the battery. It just took some force to do so.

 :idea: the idea of putting the battery in a small bottle is a pretty good idea. There's a surplus store up the road that often has small bottles, just the right size for the "barrel" battery.

Well, the new battery seems to be working fine. A happy ending.  :-)  :-)  :-)  :-)
