Removing the connector from a battery-HELP PLS

[Cardslinger]

This would be my first time for modding.
I want to try to build a passthrough & I have a working kr-808d battery I can use to get a connector from.
The connector is the part I need to make this.
How do I safely remove the connector from the battery or is there a RC type fitting, or something that I can get at Radio Shack that will work with 808 or 510 cart's

Put an old carto or atty on and firmly pull while cantering (bending) the connection. Most are press-fit in and can be pulled apart with excess force. Good luck!

See the "mod at your own risk" header ...and this is only if Dougie's method doesn't work...if you have a dremel with a cut-off disc, score the tube shell where the connector is pressed into the tube, the tube is usually stainless steel and brittle and will usually break, which is a good thing...also, I've removed the connector from eGo batts using a pipe cutter...

Take your time...It's !!!REALLY!!! important that you only go deep enough to cut the batt tube shell because you never know if, where or how the protection pcb is and there maybe a strip connection running down the side of the batt from pos to neg which you don't want to come in contact with your pipe cutter which is in contact with the outer tube, scared yet?...but you never got this info from me...

thanks 2 u both, I tried Dougie's advice & it worked.
I now have a connector to make a mod with.
@quigsworth I don't know if I would use your method untill I had a lot more experience playing with these battery's
My extremities are dear to me at this time, but thanks anyway

Good call Card, sometimes it's hard to advise peeps when you have no idea what there comfort/skill level is...I just want to throw out options before you get frustrated and grab a hacksaw, lol...luck with your mod and remember, we all want to see it when you're done...
