Haha I didn't think I could do it either - that's why I'm feeling smug and pleased!
Yes you could probably clip the wires and reattach a ney battery as there is enough lengh on them. The lid of the reader fits very snugly where the battery is so you need to make sure the battery is properly seated and there is nothing proud ot the battery - so the wires need to be tucked down.
I've attached an image of what the connection looks like.
