Mike,
I have the Panasonic battery also and it did the same thing.
However, I did not let it get far enough in to not get it out. I am
doing the mod that someone on the web to their battery box. They removed
the front portion of the box and put steel hinges on each side. By
removing the hinge pins, you remove the front cover and remove the
battery towards the front. I bought the steel hinge from McMaster Carr
(about 3') and cut off what I needed and took what pin length I needed.
The pin is about an inch and half longer than the hinge. I flattened the
top 1/4" so I can drill it for a safety wire to keep it from moving.
Problem solved.


Jim, could take a picture of your 'mod' next time you have
access to it? It would be helpful to publish it on
our website.

Hi Bob,
I took a few pix of the mod to the battery box. This should give
you the idea on how it goes together. My first attempt tried to get the
whole "other" battery into the box. However, the Panasonic does not have
the little ridge around the top which holds the battery about 1/4" up
from the bottom. I will file that ridge off the generic battery so it
will go all the way to the bottom. Then again, I might put a spacer in
the bottom to take up that space. I'm not in favor of trimming the
little flange around the top of the "other" battery. It seems to be
where the top and bottom come together. What is your thought on trimming
or spacing for that little protrusion?
