please dont try drilling into a lithium ion battery, even if the battery is 'discharged' (and they never really are cos the micro circuit inside keeps the chemistry happy so as to never discharge to 0 volts), you may end up mixing chemicals that usually get on like a house on fire.

as the previous poster mentioned 3rd party after market batteries usually swell after a year or so, both of mine did, yet my original Samsung batteries are still fine. During the time they were swollen, they would get stuck as well and I would have to :

a) bang the camera moderately to jolt it out, not good

b) use a small screwdriver to jimmy it out, but damages surrounding plastic

c) use one of them wooden manicure sticks used for the findernails

for $118 you get a thousand of them (!)

unfortunately, this appears to be a common thing in the long term with numerous 3rd party Li-ion.

that is if this is the reason for your experienced problem, good luck.

thanks for all the input from everyone, I will try some of these.
