Guessing the tray has a ridge around the perimeter ?  More than likely, the
batteries have swelled and are now friction tight.

Subject: APC battery tray

Any tips for getting the batteries out of the "tray" in an APC UPS? Our
rackmount APC takes 4 batteries and they appear to be *glued* into the tray.
The guy at Batteries Plus was shocked that he couldn't get 'em out with a
screwdriver by prying on them.

A friend on another list suggested soaking the bottom of the tray in Goo
Gone, but I'm afraid that might short out the batteries or something even
worse... Is that likely to be safe and does anyone have any clue what APC
used to secure the batteries into the tray?
