    I guess Im not meant to have this battery, it was in my shirt pocket last night, I bent down to put the dogs water bowl on the floor after filling it.... and you guessed it, it fell in. Consequently it wouldnt work today, tried charging, nothing doing. So now my fav battery with a glued on adapter had kicked the bucket... RIP

    No idea, sorry.

    what type of glue was it?

    boil it?, freeze it?

    A vice and pliers should do it, flutter your eyelids at the local mechanics/friendly neighbors if all else fails!

    Gee it must have been good glue.

    Since the battery is already dead you can soak it in acetone nail polish remover to get the adapter off. Also, paint thinner works too. I used to use it to take off the fake nails,lol

    Before you try that though, put the battery in a bowl that you can seal with some uncooked white rice. Leave it overnight. The rice will help draw out any moisture that might be left in it. Try that before you do the acetone thing though to be sure that battery is dead.

    You're very welcome. I have actually saved a cell phone doing that after it was dropped in a puddle of water. I hope it works for you!
