Replace battery | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I bought a BCR2 to replace the battery in my MTH Jersey Central GP7 20-20133-1. Battery removal is usually easy, but I’m unsure how to remove the battery (photo) from this engine without damaging it.

The battery is held in place by a plastic clip on each side. The clip doesn’t appear to be flexible enough to allow the battery to be pulled out and the battery won’t slide forward or back to allow removal. The side opposite the one shown in the photo is covered with a jumble of wires, so removal from that side doesn’t appear to be an option.

Your advice will be appreciated!

Normally I have to remove the couple of screws holding down the board holder and heatsink to get those out.

Mission accomplished. Thanks, John.
