Anyone? Good place to order a replacement?

“Remove the battery” sounds pretty simple, but my pivot vac seems to be “hard-connected” to the battery terminal, and I haven’t a clue where to go from here (though the trash heap—and recycling center—are strong candidates). Mine is an older model (2012) and perhaps that explains why these otherwise excellent instructions lead me to a dead-end.

Agree. I dissembled down to this last photo, but the battery won’t budge.

the gray handle on one side pops open if you pry at it and there are screws underneath.
