<p>oh my .... well, it sure was educational entertainment to read all those approaches.....<br>
I actually wanted to keep you updated yesterday already but work came in the way.<br>
Anyhow. Like after some labor the little one was finally out - I did still try to get it out with that butter/cheese knife approach and eventually I did actually catch some of the wrapping thats around the battery and so, little by little got it out with a messed up wrap - who knew that Interstate batteries makes more then car batteries to my suprise. <br>
Phew... no corrsion in the camera, so I took the rest of the wrapping off and just used clear scotch tape to keep it together. Sure enough the battery got stuck in the camera again (I tried other camera with same battery need and yup, was stuck in it too) - so that proofed to me that what I also read somewhere - that non OEM or brand batteries sometimes are a tiny bit, literally a millimeter thicker or so and that makes tight fits. so again, the whole butterknife approach and again, after little while it was out. <br>
Ending this story oddly enough - I did the recommendation fo putting tape on the bottom in order to pull it out in future - despite having the same thickness but using that tape strip/handle - it comes out like butter</p>
<p>Thank you for all contributors</p>
