In this video I'll show you a technique I used to remove a stuck, swollen aftermarket lithium battery from a used Sony A6300 that I purchased. Smacking the camera did nothing, prying on the battery did nothing, this battery was STUCK. I used double-sided 3M tape and a golf tee to remove the stuck battery in question. The stuck battery was an aftermarket Patona battery that swelled up.
This method is applicable to many camera models as most use a similar battery compartment design. DO NOT stick tweezers or a knife in the battery compartment! Use this method! Do not use force!
Ultimately, this technique that I am showing is the BEST method because it has the least potential for damage or harm to the camera. That being said, I am not responsible for any damage that occurs if you use this method. Take your time.
Do not buy cheap Amazon batteries, it is not worth it! Buy OEM!
