thx man - just needed to watch this video and afterwards i could just pull out my stuck swollen battery by the tab (that was still on fortunately) - no kidding!! 😂 all the attempts before failed - but as soon as I was rready to get the drill out - pop! 🤪 Energies man!!! 😉 thanks for the vid anyway ✌🏽
Haha I'm glad it all worked out and was less hassle than you expected! 😃
Here is an alternative method to remove a stuck swollen lithium ion battery from a GoPro Hero 10 that I tried that doesn't involve drilling a hole in the battery and ruining it. As in this video, my GoPro battery had the blue plastic end of the battery with the pull tab pulled off from the battery while attempting to pull out the battery. First, I placed some super glue on the blue tab, placed the tab onto the stuck battery and closed and locked the battery door. The rubber cushion inside the battery door presses the glued blue battery end tightly in place against the battery while the glue dries. I then placed the entire GoPro, stuck battery and all, into the refrigerator overnight. The hope was that by cooling the battery it might shrink just enough to allow pulling the battery out. Once the GoPro and stuck battery are removed from the refrigerator I placed them the counter at room temperature for about 10 minutes. The hope was that a micro layer of water condensate would develop around the battery and act as a lubricant to further reduce the friction of the swollen battery against the battery compartment walls. After 10 minutes at room temperature I attempted to pull the pull tab on the battery to remove the battery. Fortunately, the superglued blue battery end and tab remained glued to the stuck battery. Pulling the pull tab allowed the swollen battery to slip right out effortlessly! Then, one can decide whether to continue to use the battery. All the precautions associated with the above video apply here. I decided to continue to use the battery which continues to perform well. Yes, it is swollen but I know how to get it out if I need to again.
@@mfm2010ify Thanks for this great suggestion. At first we tried superglue too, but it wasn't strong enough. So we gave up on the battery and went in with the drill.
