I'm afraid I might bend them while prying them out to replace one and start a fire. I actually destroyed a LT one time with a battery fire with a dumb mistake. I was doing something else inside the LT and when I reassembled it I put a long screw where a short screw was supposed to go and punctured the battery. Fire actually shot out the side. Fortunately I was able to run it outside and throw it on my rock yard. No injuries and the house didn't burn down. But you can see why I'm a bit battery changing paranoid now... >I never run off the battery anyhow**, even in the >car it's normally connected to a charger, so even if half is warn out, >the second half lasts a long time. Yup I do the same so on second thought my refurbished LT half used battery worry is probably unnecessary.
