I just remplaced the battery of this John Lewis spectrum radio.
Following advise on removing the side screws holding the antenna, I
needed to lift the edges a bit to move the inner unit out. The battery
was under a black plate and had some black foam over it. mine had
swollen, looked like a little bag.
I purchased one of 2000mah lithium polymer battery (the original is
2100,) at cool components. I was surprised how thin it was compared to
my swollen one. IMPORTANT: I had to swap to polarity of the battery!
Its a bit fiddly but you can pry out the metal pins from the connector
and swap them. Alternatively cut the cable and reconnect crosswise. All
works perfect,
