The battery is held in with a triangle of double sided tape, that is 3/4ish the size of the battery. I removed mine by carefully prising the battery away from the tape using a craft blade. Every cm I popped a blade under the battery to stop it from reattaching to the tape. At one point I did hear a crack as the battery came away. Thankfully it was the made by the battery parting from the tape and not the screen!
I was making one good Kobo out of two bad ones.
