I lost my original Q to a swollen battery. Using super glue did not occur to me, maybe that would have worked. I did a lot of googling on ways to solve this problem and did not find any useful answers. Avoid doing anything intrusive to the battery - like drilling a hole in it and trying to set

Just a SWAG, but you could take it to a local camera store and they'd get the battery out for you & sell you a new battery at the same time. Although it looks like you can get two EN-EL5 batteries plus a charger from Amazon for the same price as just a battery from B On 5/2/2021 17:28:04,
