I don't see a connection between the little metal clip on the left
and the + side of the battery:

The battery may actually be good if the contact is not making a good
connection. A voltmeter will tell all.

My guess(tm) is that the two plastic clips on the side opposite the
metal clip will bend out of the way, releasing the battery. Wrap
some tape around the tip of a small screwdriver, shove it in the
space between the two plastic clips opposite the metal clip, and pry
away
from the battery. The plastic clips should bend, releasing the
battery.


There is simply no way the battery can come out from the top.
The four tabs on the mounting are an integral part of the
housing and cover too much of the battery to allow that.
I'll try to find some place to connect a voltmeter, but
the battery won't keep the date. It is five or six years
old. Most batteries last longer than that, but, who knows?

Jeff is right ! A small screwdriver inserted down the edge of the
battery opposite to the gap on the other side, gently lever the battery
towards the gap and it will jump out. Make sure that there is no power
to the machine, because the battery can land anywhere on the mainboard.

Fitting the new battery, insert the edge against the holder rim under
the two clips opposite the gap, making sure that the battery is the
correct way up, and press down until it clips into the holder.

Job done... :-)



I usually just release the battery from the metal tab edge. It will pop
out using that method as well.
