[Elecraft] KX3 Battery Holder and Batter Removal

[Phil Hystad]

So, I saw that KX3 Kit Builder Alert posted yesterday.  Even though I was confident that I did not use the wrong length of screws on the battery holder I decided to check anyway.

I had a real heck of a time removing the batteries.  I mean, really!  I am worried that if I go through this again I could easily damage the insulated casing of the battery.

Does anyone have a suggestion to making this task easier.  Do you use a tool that will not damage, if so, what is it?

Thanks,
