I've got an old battery pack that I want to KEEP in the video camera - but I do NOT want to keep a plastic box full of battery acid (from 30+ years ago) on the camera / in the case / in the car.
Does anyone have tips, or can you share videos / articles on how to open this old battery case WITHOUT destroying it?
Obviously, I can use a cutting tool to crack open the case, but I: 1) Don't want to cut the battery inside; and 2) Don't want ugly melted plastic showing on the edges of the battery case.
Also obvious, I can use a small screwdriver or straight-edge to try to pry apart at the seem, but that (most often) is just as bad as using a cutting tool.
I'm hopeful someone with experience can give some details or links. ("Search for videos" and "just go slow" isn't helpful.)
Thanks for the help.
