My single cap battery won't come off my 02.  It looks like it may have died and expanded in the process, since one side of it looks a little lifted from the back.  I am guessing the pressure from the expansion has lodged it on.  Any advice on how to remove it without damaging the 02?  The 02 seems to work fine.

same happened to me mate,just be brave,put your oqo where it can have a soft landing(incase you drop it),really push the release button with your thumb,with your other hand get your nails under the battery and pull with everything you have,you wont break anything,(cant guarantee) but its hard work.need to get it of quick before it puts too much pressure on your oqo guts.

I'd squeeze the battery against the OQO tighter where the latch is while pressing the release button hard. Hold the button in while releasing the squeeze.
