So I finally pulled by angel out of storage (mid move) and tried to charge it up a few times. Even after fully charging and draining about 4 times it still seems to hold a full charge for about 30 minutes before the battery is drained.

It's an ooold battery (4 digit serial number on the angel?) so when I went the local shop they told me about the new NiMH battery with the key and I picked it up.

Problem is, cant get the old battery out. Took off the backplate no problem, took off the thing in front (forget the term, just woke up after screwing with it all night), and I can see both sides of the battery and all the wires are clear, but the battery still doesn't want to come out.

I didn't want to start yanking out every screw possible since it's still working perfectly when it does hold a charge, so could someone direct me towards what I missing? I searched all over for a walkthrough or schematic that specifically lists the bolt/instructions related to the battery, but I'm coming up dry.

Thanks in advance...

okay I'm a goon. I was hesitant to use brute force but I was getting frustrating and starting to gamble... just jammed in a screw driver from the back and the battery knocked right out the front. Hrm. Wish I had tried that hours ago.
