Well, I'll be damned. You're right. The silver case comes right off. I
just wasn't pulling hard enough.

The battery is indeed soldered in and the connections are pretty small
and close together. I think my soldering iron might be too large.

I uploaded a couplew of photos of the connectors:

Instead of unsoldering the existing soldered connections, maybe you could
cut the existing battery wires off near the existing battery. Then, install
the new battery by connecting the wires from the new battery to the
remaining wires that are still soldered to the device. Twist the wire
connections together and either tape them or, if you want, solder them.
Good luck.

Hmmm... Interesting idea. The wires are tiny and the space is very
cramped. I don't think any kind of screw connectors would fit in there
and ewven take might be too bulky. Plus I'm not sure taping tiny wires
in a tiny space would be easier than soldering. It's been a long time
since I soldered anything, but I think that's the way to go.

But thanks for the creative idea.
