Sure. No problem. Just short the terminals and the internals will
rapidly be revealed:

Well, to be honest, the battery was probably a counterfeit.

Note that a cell battery (LR8D425) is the same diameter as an LR61
cell, but is 3.5 mm longer.


My Sennheiser Pro rep told me they don't recommend using Duracell
because they don't put enough electrolyte in the cells. They now ship
with Energizer.
