It is also glued in; be -careful not to pull out the contact points as well. If possible try to -preserve the glue, it will come in handy when securing the new battery -in place. I also scraped off what was stuck to the old battery and -pushed it back into the housing.

battery in Before putting in the new -battery make sure to check the writing on it or use the shape as a -reference to figure out which side is the negative pole. Put that side -down, touching to the contacts. The replacement batteries I got where a -different brand and had all the labeling on the plus pole. While the -original VARTA branded batteries had it exactly reversed. On my first -attempt I didn’t pay attention and put them in the wrong way around.
