There is tape holding the battery wires. Carefully lift the tape. The tape appears to be part of the battery.

Carefully lift the battery from the side shown. It is aslo held in with adhesive towards the left. Do no yank or pull the battery quickly. Lift slowly to weaken the adhesive which can be better viewed in the next photo.

It's a lithium polymer cell so of course its softsided. If the controller is being opened to replace the battery wouldn't it be a safe bet to say the battery is no longer of any value?
The same precoutions apply to the new battery as the one that is being replaced.

(good pics btw)
