Tool to change battery from x6x style to x6xs

#1 Post by codek » Fri Oct 08, 2010 6:16 pm

I just bought a 8 cell lenovo battery and noticed the additional clip on accesory to make it compatible for the x61s.

I'm going to be taking this on and off a lot and wanted to know which tool you are using for this? A regular screwdriver seems too thin.

The screw slots on this ridiculous add-on part must have been designed for a Chinese coin.
Usually a penny suffices for jobs like this in the US but I guess we have to step it up to a
nickel, which fits perfectly.
