I tumbled to a site with very detailed instructions how to recell a beaulieu battery pack. And now when I would need the the instructions ...I just can't find the page anymore!! (I been looking about an hour and a half)

Thank you sooo much, greenplastic79! That's exactly the page I was looking for.

I yesterday re-celled my first Beaulieu battery. Process was wery difficult for me, because I don't have any experience on that and I also didn't have the right size batterys. So my hands have lots of small cuts and the battery doesn't look so "professional" (actually not even close *laughs*), but it works and I'm happy

...now to the tip --&gt;

I heard that opening the battery is the most difficult part of the process. Ok, I went to a shop that sells tools for clocks and watches and got me the same tool that they show on this page...

In the shop the guy told me to heat the battery up a little bit. I tried to open it first without heating but it was really hard and I couldn't move it at all! ...So I turn on the hotplate and put the battery on it for only about 4 seconds and opened it without allmost any force!!! So try this when you are re-celling your Beaulieus. Maybe my battery was not so tight or something, but I think the heating did the trick... (and the battery was on the hotplate for only about 4 seconds)
