Hi Les. As mentioned higher up the thread, all backs are off.
Following someone else's post I've found replacement batteries on eBay which are on order. They were all different shapes with snap on backs, and the Stanley knife made the job easy, but one side appeared to have a notch which I couldn't see but meant the blade slid further under, allowing better leverage.
I too recognised the risk of slicing my finger but wore a thick gardening glove on the "at risk "hand, and also considered the "breaking blade" scenario but as a specs wearer took a chance on that.
