Bottom of the battery inside the case itself is in epoxy about 1/2" deep covering the ground connector, which makes it impossible to rebuild. The battery posts are hollow with the cable soldered inside the hollow. I'm done playing

Hacksawed the battery top off about a 1-1/4" down.(from the top) found out the case sides have stops for the lid but it has silicone and epoxy to seal it. If you cut out the top ,you will cut off the stops that hold the lid.
