I purchased the Obsidian board along with the Li-lon battery set up. I was in the process of pulling the batteries out to recharge them. I got one of the batteries out and went to get the second one out. It won't come out for anything  . If I try any harder I will end up breaking something. Any suggestions? |

Did you order with Flash on Clash or without? The sabers with Flash on Clash have the new Obsidian XT boards, which in turn only have one Li-Ion cell plus a dummy cell (which is suppposed to be there and cannot be recharged!). Read this http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=3821.0 |

I did not get the FoC option. As far as I know it's the regular Obsidian. Is there another way to tell which one I have?

In that case, it's a battery, and you have a problem. Try prying it with a key? That's all I got. |

If it says Trustfire on it, then it should be a regular battery. The dummy batteries have no writing. Also, the regular board has the usb port on the board while the XT has the usb port on seperate wire leading into the board. The usb port on the XT board is on the blue wire in this picture http://www.ultrasabers.com/product-p/z-sound-obsidianusbxt.htmWhere is your usb port? |

From the positive end push back against the spring end and lift out. If that doesn't work try going under the battery with a key (like TJ said) or a butter knife/flat head screw driver to pry it out.

Pictures would be most beneficial, if possible.
Be careful with any prying attempts, the battery holders are not designed to withstand external pressures. They break easily because they were designed to hold batteries together, not protect them; that's usually the responsibility of the apparatus the case is in.
That being said, you can depress the spring with a thin, flat object, such as a butter knife, and then the battery is usually a bit easier to free up. If you try that though, be sure to support the opposite side of the pressure, like a pinch, so that your not stressing the housing unit, just the spring. Copy?

Without being too forcefull I used a flat head screw driver with no luck. It's in there with no slack what so ever. Even if I eventually got it out doing this repeatedly will tear it up. I contacted Ultrasabers so I should be hearing from them soon. I need this resolved before Christmas.  |
